I was banded on 3/19 and I've been on a pure liquid diet since then (6 days). I literally dream of eating - anything! I am so hungry! My nurse told me to follow the diet strictly because I could stretch out the pouch. I haven't had a fill yet. I'm getting grumpy!:biggrin:

I can't believe I really did it! I had talked about doing it for years, and started the insurance approval process almost a year ago. At several points I thought to myself - "I'm just talking a good game, I can't really go thru with it." Or I'd think of reasons why I didn't really need to do it. But as the surgery date came closer, I feel like I sort of went on auto pilot, and something took over and led me thru. Now I'm 4 days into recovery, and it still doesn't seem real. It's a very weird sensation.:wub:
