This coming from someone who had laparoscopic surgery may 31st then banded August 3rd- double wammy.

How Soon After Surgery Did You Add Things Like Liquid Grits, And Watery Soft Foods?
Day 4 for me.....cream of wheat diluted with skim milk and thin creamed soups. However, your doctor should have given you post op diet instructions.

Would Like A Positive Buddy
Had to postpone my band- had my galbladder removed May 31st. Banding will now be the end of July . I want to stay motivated, I read so much negative feed back from people who are failing theirselves, by not following the guidelines. If I keep reading these I may change my mind. I am self pay- it is a lot to pay to fail. I see lots of excuses.

2 Weeks Post-Op
Went to my pre surgery appointment - getting banded August 1st. ( having gallbladder surgery Thursday). To the point- my doctor recommends sublingual b-12 or b-12 shots to regain energy. Can not hurt to try.

Regret?
In 2009 the education may have been very different. Today, however they stress over and over it is just a tool.

Surgery Date Is June 6!! Should I Tell Family??
Lots of people do not realize that it takes your effort to lose and keep the weight off. I choose not to hear people give 100% credit for my future weight loss to the band. Nor to hear "you're not THAT big" I have told only my husband and one out of town friend who was banded herself. I may change my mind later.
