reeally?!?! yay! what a relief... that makes me so happy.

I'm sure this question has been asked before... but I'm new on here and I'm so curious about the "dining out" experience. I love to eat out and now I'm really curious if everyone just orders off the children's menu. How do you partake with family and friends and not feel a little bit like an outcast? Right now I'm on my liquid diet (day 12)... I went out with some friends to a concert in Seattle (we've had the tickets for months) we spent the afternoon out there, so of course they got hungry and I sat there and watched them eat mexican food while I was starving and my stomach was just growling. Talk about torture!! haha... that was very difficult. Any suggestions on what to order? I really appreciate the feedback! Kayla (getting band in 2 days)

Hey there... i'm 25 and I'm getting the surgery in 2 days.

I looooove love love coffee.... and I was told no more coffee or tea after the band. Is this just because of the caffeine? I'm getting banded in two days and I'm in the mourning stages... missing all of my favorite treats... like my coffee. what do you all do???

Helloooo! This is my first time on this forum and I'm very excited! I'm a little nervous because I've never had any kind of surgery before. I've been on the clear liquid diet for almost 2 weeks and I really hope this is the hardest part!! Every where I go I smell food... it's on the tv... it's in magazines... it's everywhere! I definitely find myself getting a little emotional, it feels like I'll never get to enjoy food again. And quite honestly, I really miss food right now. :rain: Couple of questions for anyone that's been banded for awhile.... :help: I heard that all beef and white bread are very difficult to digest... as well as carbonated beverages. Beef and bubbly drinks I can easily give up... but i looove bread... How about whole wheat or multi-grain type breads?? What about melted cheeses? What are some of your favorite foods to eat?? What do you do when you dine out? Do you ever drink alcohol?? Super duper hungry:nervous kayla
