I start full liquids today, yea! It's early still, and I haven't eaten anything yet. All day yesterday I felt like I had a turkey sitting in my gut. I just don't feel hungry yet, but I know my body needs some calories. I don't drink protein shakes or anything, don't like them at all or any dairy drinks. I go to my post-op on monday. I have a little soreness around the incisions, a little in my shoulder, a lot of belly rumbles throughout the day, but mostly pretty good. I don't dwell on the decision. I did it, so I will keep thinking of how great I'm going to feel. I was self-pay.

I just joined this forum today, have been reading it for months. Got banded March 14, 08. I'm still on liquids and get to eat pudding tomorrow. I am very excited. My pain has been minimal, and I have not been hungry once. I have lost 10 pounds. I think because my body is eating itself. All I have had is jello, popcicles, and juice. No nausia and moving around pretty good. I don't really know all the banding lingo, but I am looking forward to getting back to the real me that I see in my mind, not the mirror. :wink2:
