Thank you Leslie!! You helped me alot!! So when did you start eating the refried beans?? That actually sounds great! Another thing is, my doctor said I should have 5 2-3oz mines a day, however all I eat now is one pack of gritts and a jello... I am just not hungry! When did you get your band?

I totally understand!! I was banded on 8/1! I am still in pain, actually in just one place. So far I have tried sugar free jello and gritts!! How many times a day are you eating?

I got the band on 8/1 and wow I did not think it would be this painful!!! OMG, it hurts so bad to sit up when laying down!! It is getting better though. I also did not realize I would have 5 scars from this, but I guess it will be well worth it. I went back to work Monday, so only had Sat and Sun to recoop!! So far I have triend to eat gritts and sugar free jello!! Can anyone give me some advice about what else to try??? I go back to the doctor tomorrow... Anyways, I am so excited to join with all of you, I have been reading for a while... One more thing, how long did it take everyone to really start loosing?
