Hello I was just banded on the 13th. Was wondering if there were any others that want to join this journey with me that are local! Maybe we could meet up every so often to share success stories!

Hmmm.. well your profile isn't filled out at all.. so no idea where local is! city/state?

Oh oops. I'm so new to this! I guess I just assume everyone knows where Mesa is! Haha even though there are many. It's Mesa as and I will work on filling that in. Thanks!

I work in Chandler and will be banded on the 21st of this month. It would be great to have a local support.

Oh cool! Yeah I think it would be too! Congrats on the surgery! Where are u having it done at?

Jerusalum Hospital in Tijiana. I am on my second day of my liquid diet. I thought I would be grouchy as I tend to be grouchy when I'm hungry, but so far so good.

Oh that's great! My hubby wasn't grouchy til day 5. In on day 6 and I feel like I might become grouchy. I drank tomato soup with protein yesterday. Today I'm going to try cream of wheat with chocolate protein powder. We will see how that goes!

What protein powder do you like best? I haven't bought any yet. A friend told me of ---Muscle Milk--or something like that that she found at Sam's Club and really likes.

I just bought the 100% premium protein which is way the doc office recommended from SAMs. It's only powder. I mix it with ff milk and some peanut butter and butterscotch pudding. It's delicious!

Good luck today Susan! Keep me posted! Congrats on tour next step to success! I'm feeling much better every day!

I am doing very well. Right now I just need to focus on liquids. It is interesting to think that I have the lap band, but because it is not filled, I am just on a "diet." Looking forward to the restriction.

I wanted to start a Az thread. Glad I found this one Im in the west valley but work in Tempe
