I was banded on 12/17/03, and I am actually surviving. I haven't had any problems at all. Still on the liquid phase, but moving onto the soft foods soon. I have lost 14 lbs since my pre-op date on 12/12/03. Thanksgiving and Christmas were really hard. I learned that where there's a will there's a way. Hanging in there. Continue the good luck everyone!

Congrats hun...You have made it through one of the hardest times of the year! Keep up the great work:banana

Hi there !

Hope you are feeling well.... don't worry... the sloppy stage doesn't last long! lol

Glad you are doing so well after your op.

All the very best

Hey Karen, I think I know your mother in law. I have meant to call and ask how you were doing but with the holiday's have been too busy. Glad to hear things are going well for you. The toughest part of this is over for you. Call me if you want to chat.....

She told me that you asked about me. I am ready for the "real" food. I know that it takes time, however, I want the real stuff. Coming soon though. I heard you lost over 50 lbs, and your husband is loosing too. That's great! I can't wait to see my results. On Jan 13th is my first fill, looking forward to that. Good luck with your success. Are you planning on attending the Texas Bandster Bash in April? I thought that I would try to go.

Ron is scheduled for a fill next Friday. He could have gone today but decided to wait until next week. I will be glad because after that he should not be wanting food as much. At least I don't even think much about food. When I do get hungry, a few bites of whatever happens to be available is enough to satisfy me. He is not at that stage just yet. Sheila knows how to get in touch with me so if you ever want to call that is fine. Dana & Derrick also know my home phone number. Call anytime...Good luck.
