I had my LapBand surgery September 29th. When I woke up afterwards, it was with new eyes. I slept most of the weekend and was back at work Monday. So, I'm learning how to sip and chew Vitamins and drink Protein drinks. I'm excited about my future. Before surgery there were a lot of "what ifs". But, now that I'm banded, the focus has turned to following my nutritionist's plan for me. I began to get a little hungry on the fifth day and got to have some thinned out sweet potatoes. (Yum)

Every journey begins with one step and I have stepped over the line to a healthier life!:rolleyes:

congrats on your new journey to the new you. it is an adjustment to get used to that is for sure. i was not hungry for the first week, but when i was able to have creamy Soups, i was soooooo happy. :) LOL

i still love Soup and broth. i drink liquids on my fill day and the day before my period as it helps with the bloating.

just keep following your plan, don't beat yourself up if you make a mistake, you are human, we all make them.

Well done! I was also banded on the 29th but don't go back to work until tomorrow (Wednesday). Today was the first time I have felt hungry between meals (if you can call them meals!). Like you I'm so looking forward to a new life not tied to food 24/7. Good luck!
