Hello everyone, I was banded Aug 13,08 and I'm ready to join the world and eat. It getting hard know because not in pain anymore just some swellen around the port, but it was easier than because just had soup and went to sleep.. Now I'm up and want to eat and not a big meal just some real food:rolleyes2:... Another thing has any one had problems with pills?:tongue:

I was banded on Aug. 16 and still on liquid diet. I am scared to start eating real food. I mean I have some of the cravings but not really hungry...but the thought of food getting stuck really scares me. I don't want to feel sick since I have had a good recovery.

Good luck. What are you eating so far? How much have you lost?

I was scared @ first to but, they got me doing creamy things now and baby food... I know it mental. You lost 10lbs sinces banded. How you feeling?

I am starting to feel great. I don't feel as bloaded and full as before the band. My husband made a comment today that he can't hear my breathing anymore. That meant a lot. I just want to keep this new lifestyle and stick with it.
