I am 8 days post banding and a bit at a loss of what to do. I start blended food diet today. Any suggestions for basic, simple things to start with? I had my surgery with Kane Surgical Center in Illinois-Dr. Jonathan Wallace. It went well with some gas but no too bad. Right now I am trying to figure out how to live life from this point on. Any one have some encouragement for a newbie? Where to start, what to read, what to expect? This is the first time I've ever been on a forum or in a chat room. Can you help?

Thanks Mike...I haven't tried the baby food idea. I'm assuming that this will get easier as I go forward. Can you tell me the best way to utilize this forum? Is it good to be on at certain times? Are there certain forums to check regularly? I'm really a novice at this and I appreciate the help! Thanks,

The first thing to do is look at the list your doctor or nutritionist gave you and follow it to the letter. I was allowed soft foods only, yogurt, cottage cheese, Carnation Instant Breakfast, eggs, tofu and refried Beans. Remember this is to let your band heal and prevent future problems so it is extremely important you take it easy on what you eat.

I am not one to ask for help but ended up calling the nutritionist twice for advice. Better safe than sorry. Good Luck

Hey Ms. Hotbody

I had my surgery 8/13/08 at the Kane Center (Dr. Rantis). While I was preparing to leave the hospital after my night's stay, my husband & I met a young woman and her mother who had just had surgery and was hoping to go home that same day; instead of spending the night in the hospital. I told her about this site. I was just wondering if that person is you and if so - how it's going. Either way be blessed in that new Hotbody (love the name). GOODBODY OUT

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
