Welcome Marissa! Congratulations on being banded and starting a new healthier life! You will find a lot of friends here. The support, knowledge & inspiration will help you through this journey. Post often so everyone gets to know you and lets rock this band world together.

Thanks ladies and gentlemen. Still working out how to use this site on my mobile. Might be easier on my lap top i think. I.m from western Australia. And its 10 at night i look forward to chatting with you all. You are all welcome to find me on face book Marissa Nicholson.

Burping is a new way of life. Please don't be eating baby food, you are not a baby. There are many options in the adult food spectrum that you eat pureed and blenderized that give you way more protein and nutrition.

Welcome!! You come to the right place the people here are very knowledgeable and most of them will answer any question that you have. Keep up the good work and remember we're always here for you.

Yes i do tend on using a blender when i.m home. I work away fly in fly out. Camp food is lovely too lovely so until i can adapt its a small sacrifice to make . I am ready to embrace the new me and sharing my journey with people who can relate.
