New here- just banded!

Hi everyone, my name is Meghan and I was just banded on 2/17. I've recently moved to a new city with my husband and doggies so I'm really looking forward to the support this site has to offer. Anyway, I won't ramble but I'm excited to get to know u all over the next few months and hear your inspiring stories and suggestions to be successful.

how you feeeling?
i am having lap band on 2/23

 Since you're not a hugger, I'll wave instead. 

I'm feeling alright. I had a hiatal hernia repaired as well so that might contribute to feeling a little puny. I've had a lot of gas but am eating protein shakes and soup with little irritation so that's good. I can't wait to hear about your experience!

Welcome Meghan. I got my band 12/15/10 and love it. It has change my life.  I wish you the best success with it. Follow all the doctors instructions and the wonderful people here and you will do great..Someone is always here to help when you need it. Good luck.

 Welcome

 Congrats on your first step to your new life! I was banded on Dec. 21st 2010 and I'm realizing that I must work with the band to be successful. 

I feel lucky that I'm able to pretty much eat what I want, so I have to make good choices which is not always easy. Old habits die hard....

I'm getting my second fill tomorrow. 

Best of luck to you and keep on writing! 

Hi Meghan I was banded on 2/16 and I also had a hernia repair.  I feel pretty good today, my stomach is really growling, but I don't have much of an appetite.  I've been drinking water and eating Popsicles.  Best of luck to you....

Welcome to this site and welcome to the loser's bench! Glad to have you.

Hi Meghan, my name is Shelly and I was banded on 2/10.  So we are pretty close there.  I too am hoping to find plenty of support for this journey.  Right now I am pretty much worrired about everything like in did I get enough protein, did I lift too much, not drink enough etc lol.  I hope that I chill out and learn to finally eat like a regular human being!  Good luck to you and I will look forward to hearing your progress.
