I am enjoying the weekend and I am excited about starting my two-week liquid diet on Monday. Insurance finally approved replacing my current band that quit holding fluid over the last year (this was a 4 month process). I have gained 30 pounds in that year without the restriction. On August 20, I will have the old band removed, scar tissue cleaned up and a new band put in. As of Monday, it will be six weeks before I can eat anything that needs to be chewed (two weeks pre- and post- surgery liquids, plus two weeks of mushies). I know what is ahead is not easy, but I am so ready to get back on track. I can do this!!!

yourbrave just banded 9th gl ucan do it

I'm glad you were able to get your band replaced! It's also good you've done the liquid diet thing before so you know what that's like. I got banded one week ago and I'm struggling with never wanting to look at a Protein shake again! But I'm finding ways to get creative with Soup...

Best wishes!!
