Just wanted to introduce myself. Im Ashlee, was banded on 4-4-08 and im from southeast Texas. Ive been a lurker for awile but decided to go ahead and register today and say hey to everyone! Everything is going great so far, i love my lapband!

I look foward to chatting with people.

Hi Ashly,

I'm from the Valley in South TX but I'm getting banded in San Antonio with Dr. Patel. How are you doing? Any worries or knowledge you want to pass on to me?

Im actually doing great! Ive had no problems at all and can eat pretty much anything i want right now. I have no trouble getting anything down. A couple times i took a bite of meat and didnt remember to chew it well enough and it hurt like hell, but besides that...everything has gone down good. I just got my first fill today, so we will see how that goes. I just try to get my protien in and not eat any junk. I eat mostly meat and veggies and Soup. Thats been my menu for the past 4 weeks I did have nachos on saturday night because we were out with friends and i was craving them but i only ate about half of them. Thats been it as far as anything other then what i cook.

Dont know how much that helps, but thats how ive been doing it!
