Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend. I will keep you, your families in my prayers. I too lost my sister (only 30 years old) on March 1st, 2010. I'm still in denial and I DEFINATELY am tigther with all the stress and overload of emotions. At times I'm frustrated with my band, b/c I can't "eat" to feel better. But I'm hanging in there and I'm still exercising and watching what I eat. I find foods that work with my band. I'm not eating really bad things, but I try to eat what I can and what I like. Hang in there. Time will heal our pain..but it will never compeltely take it away. Best of luck to you on this journey!

Howdy! Thanks for the encouragement! I know WE CAN AND WILL DO IT! Yay! Congrats on your date as well! Today is the first day of my diet which as been pretty hard..but it will be over soon enough! In about a month I will be able to eat some blended stuff! LOL

Hello Fellow December Bandsters!! The name is Jenny and my surgery date is Dec, 30th! Woohoo! Way to bring in 2010! I started my liquid diet today..it's been rough but I'm hangin' in there. Nothing is gonna taste as good as I will feel with my new lifestyle! Congrats to everyone and I truly hope each of us is a success in 2010!!!
