Hello! I had my band applied 2/5/10 and I am still in the liquid diet phase of recovery. (mmm. . . Protein shakes, broth and Popsicles!)

I am 38,and the mother of 3 children ages 16,9, and almost 2. I live in Western NY state. I love looking at the success photos, and reading all of the tips and hints you have all posted. It has helped me these last few days getting through this diet phase.

Hey there and welcome!! I get my band tomorrow so I'll be right with you on the liquid phase. Boy I can't wait to move outta that haha!! I look forward to seeing your replies.. Best of luck with everything and isn't it great??

Best of luck on your surgery, and thanks for the welcome!
