I'm being banded on April 28th. I'm a little nervous about the new lifestyle. Look forward to talking to you about your experience.

I'm feeling good one week out but am so sick of shakes. When do your drs. start to allow mushies?

I have to do full liquids (which includes yogurt and cream of wheat) until Thursday and then I move to the pureed stage for 4 days. Then it is on to mashed foods for a week or two and then on to soft food for about the same amount of time.

I know I am anxious to start adding more stuff, but I also don't want to rush it and cause a setback.

I am also back at work today. Physically I am ready but I'm not too sure about the mental part yet.
