Welcome to the pumpkin patch. I'm glad you have found us! There is a poll to record which band you choose and a thread for surgery stories. This is our main thread that gets the most activity. Everyone is great here. We are lucky to have found each other!

I hope everything is going well for you. I can't wait to join the band!:Dancing_biggrin:

Under the October 2008 group there are all of the threads that our group has started (including this one). There you can find the other threads that I was talking about.

Congrats on your 10 weight loss! That's Awesome!!!!!:smile:

got home today just had some cream5 bites a sf yogurtmm and cystal light im full.ill always miss my diet coke tho,picked up some coffee for am,gl u all

Nazzy - you're eating yogurt your first day home??

yes well 2nd day i came home yesterday my dr says was ok i t the yopiait light thick he told me,ate it this am no problem.only had 1,didnt make me sick or anything.applesause and that has to wait 2 weeks for that,even cream soups i can have,,no tomatoe for 2 weeks either,i also had before surgery a low carb diet the night before surgery nothing after 10,my surgery was at 9.30 am,all went great, says fruit juices limit them so im just drinking my protien drinks and crstal light,says can have yogurt lowfat day 2 till 4 weeks,or longer after.ill hold off on the greek yogurt till 2 weeks from now,

Nazzy - that's great. Within a few days I was so sick of sugar free jello and chicken broth that the thought of either of them made me ill. I'd have killed for yogurt!

Did you eat yogurt with fruit in it? I just realized that's all I have!!!

Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how all of you are doing.

Here's a new question for all of you. Especially those that are alread banded and those of us that aren't.

How often are you weighing in? Are you weighing at home? Decided to wait until you fill appts? What is your plan. I know I am going to want to weigh, but I don't want to get discouraged before my first fill.

I check myself occasionally on the Wii Fit, but it does not weigh the same as the clinic's scale. I'm using the clinic's weigh-ins as my official weights. I go back up in two and a half weeks for my first fill, and am looking forward to some real validation that I'm doing this right!
