Hi,

I did not have to do the liquid diet prior to surgery but, all surgeons are different. I too had doubts even without the diet. I was so scared I was doing the wrong thing. Now, I'm SO happy I did it. I haven't had my first "fill" yet but, that is coming on April 1st. I'm slipping up as well and starting to eat the wrong foods and I truly need that "fill" to get me back on tract. You're doing great! I think it's more nerves talking right now.

Hi, I was banded on Feb 20th and I too am looking for friends and support on this site. Feel free to ask me questions. I will answer them the way it went for me.

I was banded on Feb 20th. I too was scared. I'm now beginning my "blended" food and things are going really well. I'm down 14 lbs. The first week of liquids - flew by! I would love to be able to talk to more people who are going through the same thing I am.

I had to do a six month diet as well for insurance approval. I went to a nutritionist but, I was not happy with them. Check and see if you can follow Weight Watchers and be seen by your doctor once a month for the "monitored" diet part. I was able to do that.
