Getting Started on A New LIfe

Hello everyone, I had surgery on Dec 19, 2006 by Dr. K. in Kansas City. To me she is the best, her staff and the hospital as a whole were wonderful. My starting weight was 324, my 2 week post weight is 304. My only concern is I read so much the about the band on what to eat and when to eat, that I'm not not sure about any of it. I don't like to call my doctor everytime I have a question. So I'm asking the ones who have traveled down this road before me. :angry

Congrats on your band!!! I will be banded on 1/11, so I'm sure I will have questions too! Good luck.

Be Blessed!

hi, congrats on being banded! looks like you are off to a great start!

what to eat - you should have received post op instructions from your MD - every doctor has different instructions... if you are looking for idea, check the food section of LBT - it has some great ones. if you tell me what stage you are at, maybe i can give some ideas as well.

when to eat?? when you are truly hungry (not head hunger). should be 3-6 hours between meals. i am on solids and if i get hungry i pop a few almonds in my mouth. Blue Mountain makes excellent lime n chili ones ... mmmmmmm..

Hi

I got my band on December 19th too. I also feel frustrated about what to eat and when. I am just entering the puree stage. I have been sipping a lot of soup.

Good Luck to you.
