Just wanted to say hello. I am a new member . I was banded 11-02-06 and everything is going great. I am from alabama and would like to here from someone else. I made it through the 2 week liqud stage and started mushie foods today. I feel I can eat a little more than i could last week is this normal?

Hey Kelley - Welcome to LBT and congratulations on your new band. Making it through the liquid stage can be rough! Feeling a bit hungrier though is normal, as the swelling in your stomach from surgery has probably now gone down.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. That's what we're all here for

Welcome Kelley and congratulations on your banding! You might want to find the November bandsters thread somewhere here, too, as there will be others who were banded around the same time.

Hello and welcome Kelly,

I hope everything is going well for you and yes from what I went through it is very normal. You need to just concentrate on healing and not worry at all about how much you can eat for now. It will all come in time and once you get good restriction it will not at all be a problem. Just wanted to say hi and congrats.

Welcome to LBT and to bandland!

hey ya kelley

Welcome to LBT treat to have you here. I am almost 1.5 years post surgery...but I am always available for emails/chat. I look forward to hearing of your progress.

:eek:

Hi Kelley, Congrats on the band. I was banded on Nov. 10 06. My Name is Kelley too, I'm from Calif. but i had my surgery in Mexico. I get my first fill on 12/22'06. I am eating practically anything i want right now. I am staying away from hard foods like chips and steak. I can't wait to start losing. Remember it is a slow process but well worth it .Take Care,
