I was banded one week ago and I am hoping to find a buddy that I can discuss daily issues with. I have lots of questions I see buddies are in great demand and am hoping someone could spare some time to share with me. I have lost 26 lbs (14 pre op, 12 post op).

I am only 2 weeks banded. Diet says I can eat any fruit in its own juice. I tried pineapples yesterday, but was afraid it was too "stringy". Has anyone ever had problems with diced pineapples?

Hello, I was banded one week ago and have lots of questions I am looking for a band buddy to help me out. I am a married, 36 y/o female in TX with 3 daughters and 1 granddaughter. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

Hi, I am new here also. I am scheduled to be banded on January 6th, 2009 and I am SO having second thoughts. Maybe because I am starving because I am having a hard time with the Pre op diet. Maybe because the thought of never having a coke again depresses me :Banane20: Or maybe because I am just scared of the surgery in general. That is why I have come here, looking for support and encouragement that this is the right thing to do, no matter how hard. I have spoken with many people who have had this done and not one of them has told me it wasn't worth it. Difficult at times, but definitely worth it. So I am holding out for the end result. Hang in there and Good luck to you!
