Well Guys!! I made it. I was banded last week, 10/19. The day after the surgery I though to myself what the Hell did I do to myself!! That thought soon passed after having lost 11 lbs. since last Wednesday. I fell good for the most part, still a bit sore, the Doc says that its mainly from the Hiatal Hernia. I still have another 10 days to go on the liquid diet, that's getting kind of old. If anyone has any suggestions for liquids, I'd love to hear it. I get my 1st fill November 22nd. Just in time for Thanksgiving!! The only issue I seem to be still having is a lot of belching and gas. Is anyone experiencing that too? Good luck to all

I bet almost everyone undergoing this surgery has thought at, one time or another,

that this was a big mistake.

For liquids, all I could recommend is the old standards, vodka martini, whiskey sour, etc (joke)

Sounds like you're doing great, you should be on full liquids now. Fudgesicles, Popsicles,

I like chicken bullion from Costco (big jar) not too imaginative, but you'll get lots more.

Congrats on the 11 lbs. Only ??? more to go.

Thank you! Only 99 more to go:)
