Hi, everyone I am from NC

I was banded on February 28, 2008. My weight was 301 on my surgery date.

I was so glad to find this forum, especially when I was reading what others were saying about cheating on their post op diet. I am having the same problem and feel so terrible. I have so much support with my family and don't want to let anyone down. They are all looking forward to seeing me lose weight as so as I am.

I am able to eat about whatever I was eating prior to surgery. I have no restriction and hope it will be better once I start receiving fills. Like others that have posted information I am hungry and think of food all the time, although I try not to it is so hard.

I have tried to keep it at mushy foods eg. canned or potted meats.

After reading some of the posts it has helped me to realize how important it is to stick to the post op diet. I plan to give it another try tomorrow and stick with liquids only.

I look forward to receiving posts from others that have been banded.

Thanks
