I am banded
OH jeez! The BM demon! I am having such a hard time going. I havent been in four days and I am about to bust. I wish I could go period. Not sure what is up with that. Anyone else having this problem? I go to the nutritionist on Thursday and I get to start my mushie stage. I am so looking forward to that. I will keep you updated on things. I havent been on much due to having two extra kids during the day. I will try to be better. TTYL! Angie

What's up June Bansters?
Hello, I was banded on the 30th and I am feeling great. I have lost 17 pounds so far and I am still on the liquid diet. I get to start mushies up on the 14th and I can't wait. I am not feeling hungry yet but I am sure it will come. I will have to check out fitday.com and give it a try and hopefully keep calories down. That will be key! Thanks for posting this so we can keep in touch. Angie
