I was banded 3/2, and my mushie stage was at 10 days. Anything I craved, I put in a blender (this normally would have not been appetizing, but when you have been on liquids for 4 weeks it sounds great). I put a steak in the blender with beef broth and A1 sauce, then spooned it over mashed potatoes - tasted just like steak and a baked potato! I put chef boyardee ravioli in the blender - tasted just like the real thing! Spagetti O's with meatballs - even better. The best part - even lost weight during the mushie stage! My doctor said eat anything you can put in the blender!

My husband, of 21 years, was so supportive that he had the surgery with me! We had the surgery on 3/2/10, he was first and I was next! He is of course losing faster than me, but it has brought us even closer. I recommend any couples that are both thinking of LAP-BAND® - do it together. You will be going through all of the ups and downs together, there is no better support system.
