Hi my name is Linda E. I was banded Sept.11 2007. I would like to join the 50 and older club. Im 55 soon to be 56 in dec.Im really happy Im banded. I do realize I have to work with the band and its a tool. I still need to make healthy eating choices and eat small portions. My Dr. Dr. Eagon ( St. Louis, Mo.) said only have 1/2 cup per meal, 2 snacks and 64 oz. of liquids. Im changeing alot of habits and making new food choices. Since my lap band Im down 15 lbs. Ill be thrilled if this keeps up each month. I take anti depressants and they tend to slow down youre weight loss. I love this thread and I read it as I eat my meals to help me slow down and encourage me. Thanks to everyone out there. Keep up the good work:cool::eek::clap2::clap2::whoo::whoo::cool::clap2::clap2::whoo:

Hi This is Linda E. I was banded 9/11/07 Heres what my dr. told me. The 1st week afer surgery eat liquids only(broth,cream of wheat,jello,juice, creamed strained soups) The next 2 weeks go ahead and add eggs,chicken,turkey,lean meats cottage cheese gradually chew very well and only eat 1/2 cup (meal size) no raw vegetables or cooked broccoli,cabbage. By the 4 th week try all foods except gas producing foods. My dr. said no rice, pasta or bread for awhile because they might get stuck.Im only starting my 3rd week..
