  1. I Know. I Know. :thumbdown: For those of you who have had the band for a while - "veterans" I'll call you- who have actually had the opportunity to move from liquids past glorious mushy to OMG solid food you may have already had this insight, for us, the newly banded, about to be banded, thinking about being banded, or working on your insurance to be banded, I think this thought process I had will be useful.
     
    I have been a "fattie" my whole life. Starting at my age 9 check up when they told my mom that I was 25 pounds overweight. They told her to put me on a liquid diet. This doctor seriously must have in his family tree - Mussolinish, Stalin-like or puritanical

  2. I thought it would be easy?

    No Really, I thought this was going to be easy. I guess I knew that having major surgery that shrinks the size of my stomach wasn't going to be a tra-la-di-da vacation. But you how the reality of something is rarely how you envision it. When they say decreased amount of food, did you think they meant a 1/2 cup of liquid of less. I guess I didn't realized how much overeating I was doing before. The gluttony of my lifestyle previously has become evident. I am a little freaked out that I am consuming so few calories.
    Ok.. That is enough of my boo-hoo. I can see that I had the thought my recovery was going to be only a few days and I would be back to life. Not so. Plus I think I jumped to full liquids to fast for my body. I am back today to juice and ice water.
     
    The journey has just begun.
