Hello Everyone!
I was banded on the 4th, I've lost 20 pounds since surgery and 31 all together. I'm on the mushy diet, and I'm so over it.
On a good note, I walked on the treadmill for 55 minutes (just over 2.5 miles) today!!!

Anyone know how many calories they are eating? I'm on mushies and Myfitnesspal says I'm eating about 500-600 calories a day.
Just wondering what others are taking in.

I just wanted to recommend a couple recipes I've tried, links to them in my blog.

After tonight...3 more nights until surgery day!!

I was banded today at noon. I am feeling great. Im in no pain. Let my journey begin!!!!!

Yes, I had the compression wraps, 1 shot in the belly. Outpatient. But my canadian friend. shots at home. with no pre existing. So-- I was also waiting for the "What in the world did i do to myself?" syndrome, but it never came,,, Thank Goodness. Now that im healing, i shouldve done this sooner, like the other 50000 ppl have sayd on the site already. haha.. But i feel FREE.. Free of insecurities in my future. Free of getting slight stares of, "Boy! she's a big girl" Free to fit in a roller coaster seat without having to be told,"sorry" you dont fit, and we cant squeeze you in" Free to soon shop in whichever MALL store i can ( afford) within boundaries, of course. Free to be seen as ME.

My surgery was the 4th and I can't start until next Thursday, jealous!

Hey guys. Headed in to the hospital now. Talk to you soon.

I will barely be an October Bandster....HALLOWEEN!!
I had to move up my surgery date since I am about to switch jobs (hopefully). I'm so excited but anxious also.

I was off clear liquids yesterday, Tomato Soup tastes like heaven!

After long 8 month wait, I finally have date for October 25th
