'Early Days' eating plan.

Hi there,

My name is Salena Newport and I had my band fitted just over 2 years ago. I've since lost 12 and a half stone. Yay!!!

I'm currently writing a book about the journey, and I also want it to serve as a concise volume of hints, tips and information about what it's really like to be banded- as opposed to what the 'experts' say it will be like.

The section I'm working on at the moment is about the first days after banding and the different eating 'plans' recommended by the different surgeons.

I would be very grateful if fellow bandsters would be kind enough to let me know their experience of this issue. There are 4 very simple questions I'm interested in.

1. The surgeon's name-this will not be used, I just need it so I don't make duplications.

2. The early days eating plan you were advised to follow.

3. What problems did you have with it? (If any.)

4. How much weight did you lose as a result of that time span?

If you could pm me the answers, or post them here would be great.

I thank you in advance for your help, and hope I haven't broken protocol in asking this question.
