No, I think this is totally normal. You find that you just want to taste things which is natural. The only thing is that we have to learn to eat really slow and chew really well. But you are NOT alone!

Congratulations on being a part of the lap band society. I was banded in Sept 06, but you are my first post. I have not taken the time to learn all the in and outs of posting, etc. But glad to see the overwhelming responses of support out here. Best of luck to you on your new journey.

Tuesday, October 3, 2006, my first Post-Op visit. Lucky me, I get to weigh-in at 193 lbs. That's 10 lbs since surgery!:clap2: The doctor said that I could eat solid foods. :hungry: I get to "bypass" the mushy foods and straight onto the solids. Except no steak or pork! That's okay with me, just to get mashed potatoes and chicken are a blessing in disguise. I am excited. Loss so far - 20 lbs.

Wednesday, September 20, 2006 finally arrives, it's Lap Band Surgery Day:) My morning begins with arriving at the hospital by 5:30 am and surgery is planned for 7:30 am. My parents drive me to the hospital and go through my pre-op procedures. Not really nervous, but more anxious to get it over with, as the waiting as been tiring. The Post-Op diet was less than exciting but well worth it as I lost 10 lbs prior to surgery which will help with my recovery and start the weight loss process. Oh happy day!
