Thanks Jeannie, I really need some support! I am my own worst enemy sometimes. I'll rededicate to staying on the straight and narrow path.

Hello to everyone on this thead. I was banded on 2/28/08, and after the first couple of days became depressed thinking "what have I done to myself?" After 3 days I was starving so I ate 1 oz of fresh mozarella cheese (very slowly) and a couple of cashews (fully chewed) along with trying to get all the fluids down. I've continued with 1 oz of cheese a day, just to feel human, and chewed about 2 dozen pistachios today, just to have a crunchy feel. I've not felt any nausea (I dumped the wrist buzzer after 48 hours). Do some people tolerate going to full liquids before their first week of clear fluids is up? Thanks to all for sharing your stories, the good days and bad. I'd love to be able to meet with you as a group; I'm right here in Albany.

I am so glad to have found this forum. I was banded on 2/28 and by 3/1 I was so hungry! I ate 1 oz of fresh mozarella cheese (chewed thoroughly) and felt full. Today I had a few spoonfuls of a scrambled egg, and felt full. I guess it gets a little better every day. Weight Loss Tickers
