and I'm wondering can I do this ??? can I lose the weight after the liquid stage is over?? I'm a lil worried. :cursing:

There is a simple answer to your question. . . H*LL YES!!!

Just be prepared for "Bandster Hell" (when you're back on food but don't have restriction yet). It will be hard to stay on plan, but it's just a few weeks. . . and when you get to restriction, it will be smooth sailing from there on out.

I'm not saying you won't have to do any work. . . plan your meals. . . eventually exercise, etc. But it is SO MUCH EASIER than staying on a diet for over a year. And, having your band remind you not to overeat every single day . . at every meal -- while at the same time, you get full quickly and don't feel deprived -- is a huge advantage.

So, YES. Not to channel our President or anything, but yes you can. And, you will.

Welcome to Bandland. Lots of great things in store for you this year!

Best wishes,

Catherine
