Well, this thread has been an interesting read.... I think my most frustrating comments are from ppl that say things like "well you still have to work at it you know, this isn't just going to take care of everything for you"....ummmm geee thanks for THAT tid bit. Or...(3 weeks post op) "well great so as soon as you can get to the gym the better this will go and then you will really start losing"....I know exercise helps yes...and I plan to. HOWEVER it was a slap because I wasn't even on solid foods yet! lol. And the one that REALLY bugged me...was when I called my Mom about a week after my surgery and instead of saying HI she said "so how much have you lost?" Well hello to you too!

LOL>...YEAH that's me:-) How are you? CONGRATS on your progress...that's amazing!

HI all! JUst wanted to introduce myself! I was banded on 2.15.08 at TLBC. I am doing ok but have had a longer healing time dT hernia repair that was quite extensive. I am going for my 1st fill in a couple weeks but am still trying to get the mushies down. I have eaten a few 'normal' things and they just didn't sit well. I guess they knew what they were talking about when they recommended to start slowly, who knew, lol. Anyway, that's my news and I just wanted to say hi to all! HUGS!

Hello all!!! Well, TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! I am on my way out the door within the hour to go and GET BANDED!!! I am nervous and all of that but more than anything I just want to fast fwd to the time when I am home again. I'll let you know how it goes! Good luck to anyone else going today!!!!

Gees, I am glad to hear that you did well...my surgery is Friday and I am really getting nervous!!!!! ARGH! I will just keep looking for possitive stories like yours and know that I too will be writing my own soon enough! CONGRATS!

Glad to be a part of the group! HUGS to all!

Can I join you all?!?!? I would love to know I am not in this alone! My surgery is 2.15.2008.

I'm so relieved to hear someone else say that the pre-op diet has been hard! I thought for sure that meant I was in no way ready for this...glad I am not alone.

Hi there all! I am new here...I'll be banded on Feb.15th and am wondering why there are so many pre-op diets? I mean I am on one...and let me tell you ...its terrible! So I am wondering if I can do somthing different. Hmmmmm
