Hi everyone
Ijust got banded 11/11...Can't believe it but all done and it went really well. So far everything as expected. This board really prepared me for what to expect but there is nothing like the real thing...I'm being real careful ..doing the liquids..in fact I am nursing a cup of chicken broth . Besides the discomfort from the incisions I am really beginning to feel my new friend in my belly....Tough part amongst many is going to learn patience..I somehow gained 2 lbs in hospital and I have heard that weight loss can be minimal until the first fill..That's a little hard to understand given the caloric intake seems pretty low but I'll be patient...I'm gonna give my body the time to heal ..but I have always been the kind of person who is in a rush...It took me a long time to add these layers to my bod so I better get used to unlayering slowly but permanently...
Anyway...thanks for being here..I'm really glad to be one of you...
