Its been good. On liquids today. Start mushers tomorrow. But every doctor is different. It's not bad

I am four weeks out, and received my first fill today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be although, she didn't tell me when he was going to stick me I now have 4 cc in a 10 cc band.

I was also on a liquid diet. Fourteen days, and full liquids. It's a big mental process. Best of luck!

I also have cysts on my liver. They are from my birth control. I was concerned as well but I would try and be as relaxed as possible.

Congratulations! That's so exciting. I can't wait to get there myself.

I use fusion chewable vitamins.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations on starting this wonderful journey!!

I also used almond milk in mine. Maybe, double check with your doctor.

I and many other people recommend gas-x strips. They will do wonders for you. I'm sure you can get them at any pharmacy.

Hi Brenty, I figured I can only eat so much chicken I may as well branch out and try.

Are we allowed to have the peaches that come in the can or the little plastic containers?

Over the past hour I have been having horrific pains right near my port. Not sure if I did too much today but, I'm hurting

I pretty much dislike all fish and I know that has to change. Can someone recommend a non fishy fish?

Hi Bikini! Thanks for the idea! Sounds interesting. I'm not one for cauliflower but I might have I try it.

Banders crack? That's funny. I guess I don't really need a recipie more than I am wondering if people use instant or make their own?

Hi! I was just banded on the 23 but am starting to wonder about the soft food stage. I heard mashed potatoes were good for this stage. Does any one have a low fat recipe for mashed potatoes? I'd appreciate it!!

My doctor gave us a picture of my band in place.

Had my surgery today! I am so happy and so excited to start this journey!

Hi! When is your surgery? I had my pre op appointment today and I had to pay $1,145 dollars. Which really isn't that bad. But don't quote me! That's just my experience!

Congratulations! I am being banded on the 23

Hi Renea, where in Raleigh are you? I am being banded on the 23.

Good luck! Also try some sugar free ice pops. They have been my life saver during my two week pre op.

Welcome!! I am also in NC and I am having my surgery on the 23. Who is your suergon?

Hi! Just started my pre op diet today. My doctor told me to do four shakes a day for two weeks. I was just wondering if I was able to have any soup? Thanks!
