It's a relief to hear your friend said liquids was the hardest part, because most of what I read people make it sound like a breeze and it's clearly not for me!! I've heard great things about Dr. Bell too! Ok, when my boys go to bed tonight I will share my story on the post you are refering to. I also have my kept my surgery low key! I did this for me, not for the world to have an oppinion about me or to me. My mom and husband know, they are great! 4 of my local girlfriends know because they helped with taking care of my boys and a good support system for me. In a few weeks when we travel to visit various family members I will still be in my special diet phase, so it may come out at some point. I don't mind people know, but there's been no real reason for me to put it out there to them yet.

I was banded Wednesday and starting Saturday and getting stronger though today I have had hunger pains. Ongoing! My liquids was not handling it! I sucked it up those days, kept doing things right or sleeping it off. Well tonight, day 5 I gave in and had some bites of mashed potatoes and the hunger pains went away. 2 hours later they are starting up again faintly. Am I supposed to be this hungry during the liquid phase?

Just wanted to say hey!!! From Morehead City and was banded Wednesday.
