just kidding I HOPE..lol

I'm on the 2nd too! I can't wait. Let me know how everything goes.

Hello everyone, I was banded on Monday June 2nd, and am doing very well !! I also had a hernia repair at the same time (that was the worst part of this whole thing)!! My tummy has a big cut down the middle and the sutures are starting to itch :Dancing_wub:, I guess thats a good sign:smile:. I go to the doctor next week to get them removed and also a trip to the dietician. I am eating soft, mushy, foods in very small amounts and feel fine with that. I am supposed to be doing mostly liquids,BUT, I needed some real FOOD!! I can't live on broth and cream of crap soup !!!, and I don't care if the dietician likes it or not . I have eaten some cottage cheese, scrambled egg, tuna w/ a dab of mayo, refried beans, and some mushy rice crispies. All with no problem. I just wanted to check in and wish everyone else the best of luck on their journey and best wishes for a speedy recovery with the surgery... Theresa P

I too was scheduled for June 2nd, but at the last minute, the doctors decided that my thyroid levels were too high. I now have to see an endocrinologist and get signed off there. The surgeon swears that I won't have to wait another 2-3 months to get back on his schedule. Jeez...it took 4 months to get on his schedule the first time. I then found out that I can't get in to see the specialist until June 19th, so I figured what the heck. I went to Vegas.

I am soooo bummed.

Hang in the Futr Little Debbie. It will happen! Good luck!

Hi June Bandsters, I was banded on June and also and would like to hear how you all are doing. I started off great, but this past week I was overeating again. I dont feel the restiction anymore, probable because the swelling is down. I have had alot of incredible stress latley and I started eating because of it.Anyway I need support from those who are at the same level of time as me. Please letme know how people are doing and what they are eating aand dealing with the head games. Mary C
