Congrats good job keep it up :tongue2:

I to questioned myself , i am a week today that i got banded and I know i did the right thing. It was a very emotional decision for me i used the excuse i am older i will miss my dates with my daughter going out to eat, i can do weight watchers again. I want to live longer be healthier and feel better about myself. So following my head i went for it and although its a new start and i am just begining i am glad i did it you will be to. Best of luck

Looks yummy, love the plate but i would not pay 55 dollars so looks like a kiddie plate is what i will buy. Thanks for the reciepe.

Doing ok on my liquid diet am very anxious to see my dr but i have another week to go. I think i have lost weight to i am looking forward to stepping on the drs scale.

Thank you for answering some questions

i am 3 days out to got banded on June 1. I am still very sore and gassy thought it was me. i am on a liuquid diet. They say you should start to walk as soon as you can but the cramping i have on my left side i wouldnt beable to walk right now.It sounds like it is normal to still be sore and gassy.How long before tht goes away and you start to feel normal?

I to was banded on June 1. I am a bit sore have a pain in my left side but i think its from usen my stomach mussles when i roll in bed not sure. I havent been taking my pain meds during the day just when i go to bed at night so i will sleep. I am hoping i amgetting enough protien in me and have been sticking to the diet, i dont seem to hungry which is a good thing. Good luck to all!

i am newly banded also 3 days out i will check what you suggested thank you and best of luck to you.

Well day 3. Doing well trying to get protien in and sticking to diet. I still feel gassy and i have a small pain in my side. But i think its cause my stomach mussles are sore. Feeling very tired though. Hope to feel better tomorrow so i can go for a walk i am still pretty sore.

Day after suregry and its not to bad... I am a bit sore a little loopy still but i have been doing my liquid diet. whet protien drink is not to bad, i havent taken any pain meds today. Although i might tonight before bed just so i will sleep. I did put pillows on both sides last night as i do like to sleep on my side and tummy but it was ok with the pillows. I think i am going to try and get walking by friday when i am less sore. But i am definantely going to drive by friday going crazy already stuck in the house. I will keep you all posted.

Would love a buddy also as i am having surgery tomorrow if interested please add me and i will give you my email...continued success

Well liquid diet has started today before my surgery . I am nevous,been sucking down broth and water like crazy savoring my green jello for dinner :frown: I did not have to go liquid diet before my surgery is that normal? or is it because the i lost the required weight and then some before surgery? Well guess it doesnt matter cause the surgery is tomorrow.Does anyone know how the whey protien drink is>? that is what they recomended but do i mix it with water or the 1 percent milk?

Thank you all for your comments . I will keep you all posted

Please feel free to add me as a friend but i will warn you i will have alot of questions, My banding is on june 1 2010 and i am excited yet nervous.
