I was banded on 11/22 and am in love with my band! Let me tell you why. Today, I went out to eat for the first time since being banded. Like all new banders, I was extremely nervous. My before band meal at this restaraunt was 5 pieces of bread, a bowl of Soup, and an entire plate of fettucini alfredo. Today, my meal consisted of NO bread, the broth from a CUP of soup, half a piece of grilled salmon, and about 5 bites of green beans!! Yeah, I am so loving the band!! Oh, and I was stuffed.
