Just wanted to say hello and see how you are doing ? have you already had your surgery? if not when is your date? would love to hear from you

Hi There Amanda

You are doing really well good job to you i am having so much fun learning how to eat again i went to see my dietian yesterday and she said i was doing really well with what i am eating i am now able to marinate my chicken in zesty italian dressing she also said my weigh loss will start to slow down now but i figure 2lbs a week would be a good goal but we will see, i have to go to see my pa tomorrow so we will see what she says i have upped my excercise aswell so we will see i haven't heard anything about a fill yet i am so glad i had the surgery it is the best decision i ever made how about you please keep me posted on your progress and good luck

Hi there i have just been doing the slimfast shakes and the carnation instant breakfast then in between drinking lots of water although i had some tea and coffee after surgery i am on clear liquids until the 5 january which i believe are broth, popsicles,jello and of course water then after that it will be the next stage which will be pureed food for 3days i got a book when my surgery date was set which has everything in it,as for your last question am i ready for this i am so ready for it that i can't explain how i feel of course i am having doubts now but that is nerves about tomorrow but i know once it is over it will be the best thing i could of done i am looking forward to the new healthy me i also lost 14lb on my liquid diet so i am off to a good start

Hi there i too have my surgery tomorrow at 10am i am nervous and excited i think it is because i have never been in hospital for anything before which is making it harder i know everything will be fine and what a way to bring in the new year i will also be glad cause it is the end of the 10 day liquid diet it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but the temptations were there,anyway i would love to have a band buddy so if your intrested let me know and goodluck for tomorrow and let me know when your up to it how it went
