Thank you Dear!

Today is my first day back to work . I got up extra early because my band is really tight in the morning and I've been having problems with nausea in the am. So far so good.

Anyone in the NYC area, send me your emails, I'm hoping to get together an in person get together once we are all banded.

Mine too Ms. Blue. Kinda crazy it's time already. Have a great day sweetie!

I got banded on the 8th and have been doing really well, but yesterday I felt horrible. I had body aches and felt like I was coming down with something. Has anyone else felt like this? I am wondering if it was gas or maybe constipation.

All of you newbies...

Follow your doctor's post op diet. Even though you can tolerate food, you should be following your program. Your insides need to heal! Most likely you have nothing or very little in your band until your six week visit. Therefore, when you are feeling good, you can eat anything! This is part of your training, follow the rules and learn to eat small amounts, chew, chew, chew and drink lots after you eat. Eating slow and waiting to drink will help you feel full. Be patient and enjoy what you are eating. Make every bite worth it. It is not a race.

Good luck to you all!

Surgery on 10/26- cant get here quick enough!!
