Wow can you believe it 12 POUNDS!! Holly #$%^#$!!!

The band has been great It is helping me make such good choices. I am really happy! :) :)

What can you have for the first few weeks. My wife and I go to Monterrey Oct 4th. Is it clear liquids. Just wondering what to buy and have in the house for then we return. I have one real vice. I drink diet dr. Pepper 18 per day. Trying to cut back before surgery. Do you have any other suggestions.

You will now be able to have Dr. pepper any more. Anything carbonated will hurt your new pouch. Switch to crystal light I love that. The peach ice tea is the best. Cream of brocolli soup you can have. Suger free popcicles and fugecicles. Those new yougert drinks or yougert. Jello chicken broth. That is basically what I have been eating.

Congratulations! You are on you way DOWN! I bet that feels fantastic. How are you healing? I hope you are feeling great! Please keep us posted.

Hi,

Congratulations on your upcoming banding. Every Dr. has a different diet for post op. Mine let me have any liquids, blended soups, yogurt drinks,juice. No pop, in fact I just plain quit drinking it! Applesauce and other blended fruits were ok, milkshakes or diet shakes were ok too.

Good Luck, you'll love it!!!

I am healing quite niceley one of my small bandages fell of already. They are getting better for sure. I worked yesterday for 4 hours and I could feel I needed to go home. My back was really sore. Today I will work 4 also. But Friday I have to work 10 hrs on my feel hopefully I will be ok. But I am healing quite niceley incision look good. There hasent been any redness around them or anything which is good.
