I just got my band done on Thursday I am really excited to see the difference it will make. I lost 9 pounds by the day of surgery in in the 3 days since I am down another 3. I am having a hard time with this liquid diet, I have been doing soups mostly, protein drink, and jello but I just need something different. I am holding out though because the thought of hurting my healing is too scary to me. I look forward to hearing from all you new friends out there to help me along the way

Oh I forgot my ticker pin number so I cant update it crap!!!

Hi-- I was also banded on 10/07 and these first five days have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster! Last night I was in tears, I think just because of a combination of discomfort, hunger, and emotions-varying from excitement, fear, shame... and I don't know what else...... However, this morning I feel better physically, and the scale shows 10 lbs lost since surgery, so I feel renewed.

Anxious to make friends to share this journey with--- and equally anxious to have some cream of wheat or applesauce or scrambled eggs! LOL

Going to go look for how to add a ticker!

I'M GLAD TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL!! IM AM GETTING READY TO START MY JOURNEY FOR THE LAP BAND JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST BEEN BANDED TO SEE WHAT TO EXPECT!! GOOD LUCK AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK:thumbup:

Try herbal teas with honey, popsicles, and broth. The protein shake i use is the myoplex french vanilla 25gm protein. It's pretty good. Propel is also a favorite.

Hope this helps,

Good luck on your journey,
