  1. I was banded on the 23rd also and am struggling with eating enough on the liquids. My Dr. has me on liquids only for 3 weeks and I am just not hungry and have trouble wanting to eat anything. I am makingmyself drink the protein shakes and drinking lots of protein water to keep up with that but I feel bad that the only "food/meals" I am eating is like a can of soup a day. I am down 9 lbs since Tuesday..
  2. Hi SunRae, Looks like we are being banded on the same day.. Congratulations... Maybe we can travel this journey together. Good Luck.

  6. I can't believe I got my approval today and we just submitted to insurance on Friday!!! Holy Smokes. Now my nerves have set in big time. Looks like I will be banded in less than 4 weeks!!!

  7. Hi everyone. My name is Tiffany and I am from Phoenix, AZ. I have just submitted paperwork to my insurance this week and hope to be banded in November. I am very excited about this new adventure in my life and can't wait to get started. I am at my heaviest weight ever and am so miserable. Is there anyone else here from Arizona???
