Hi Everyone, I was banded on Feb.4th. The first weekend I was STARVING! I think that is the most will power I have ever had in my life not to have something other than "clear liquids." Things have gotten decidedly better. Today I started on the pureed foods! Yea!! Moving forward to a new life. As of 2/10 I had lost 8 lbs. post op. I get weighed again on 2/17. Hopefully I will have lost a few more lbs.

Hi Everyone, I got banded on 2/4. Glad I'm through the first week of the Clear liquids. I got through with minimal pain. I know this will be the best thing I've ever done for me! I'm from South Jersey down in the Cherry Hill area. Congrats and good luck to all who have made themselves a priority! Bgeist

Hi Everyone, I was banded on 02/04. I never thought I would look forward to eating Creme of Wheat and yogurt. I have had no problems other than being hungry. I think this has been the hardest week of my life, without solid foods. But the end result is worth it!!

Hi. I just found this site from a friend. She had her surgery in Sept. '08. I'm having my surgery on Feb. 4th. I just had my last appt. before my surgery next week. I am excited about starting on this new journey yet nervous and a little scared at the same time.
