Thanks so much to everyone for the show of support. It means alot. I had a Lap Band placed and incidentaly had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time which I assumed I had but had no proof except serious heartburn so thats taken care of. Also, am on 5 days of liquid diet...today is last day. And tomorrow I start 5 more days of soft diet. They said I can eat stuff like cottage cheese, eggs, soft meat and fish mushed fruit or veggies. Then I can start reg food. I am probably going to take it slow though as I dont want to have a super bad experience and go jumping right into things. I bought a great cookbook, Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery, written by someone who has a band. Reccomendations are for soft or pureed stuff for about 4 weeks. We'll see how it goes. I am actually just looking forward to an egg tomorrow. Small things. Thanks again. Carrie

Hi there!! Im new to this site and it seems like there are a lot of helpful hints out there. I was just banded Monday 9/17/12 and am feeling pretty good. Still taking liquid diet but dont feel hungry. I will be happy to have soft food tomorrow though. Just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there in the same stages. Im excited about this journey but glad there are others who have travelled before me for wonderful advice. Thanks everyone. Carrie
