Hi Everyone

I discovered this board about a month ago, and so, so glad I did! I was banded 2 weeks ago and have found invaluable info, and the support you all show. To be able to read things people say that are feeling the same way I am.......I'm hungry mostly, and a bit fatigued, but I know that's normal from what I've read here. I am so ready for this journey!

My name is Mary, I live in Washington state, and I'm glad to "meet" you all!!

Congratulations on being banded Mary! I love the board too, the people here are so great. I hope everything is going well for you post-op =)

Welcome, Welcome!!!

I LOVE IT HERE!!!!! Everyone is so open and willing to share!!!

Hi Mary,

Congrats on your band!!! I will join you all in a week:D WooHoo. Where abouts do you live in Washington? I live in the Seattle area. Let us other newbies know about your progress, like you said this is a great site for helpful information.

Take Care,

Thanks for all your congrats and warm welcomes! I'm feeling pretty good, I've started eating some mushy foods, so that's helping the hunger. My Dr. says just clear liquids for a month, but I couldn't do it, it seems that most of your Dr. have you on only liquids for 2 weeks, sounds more reasonable to me! My first fill will be April 14th,can't wait for that!

Kathy from Washington - good luck and congrats on your band,thanks for youir reply. I live on the Kitsap Peninsula. I used to live in Kirkland, I see that's where you're having your surgery done. Keep us posted!
