Hi and welcome, I'm new here too. My surgery is scheduled for November 10th, so I don't have many answers yet. Good luck on your journey.

Hi,

I too live in Fort Worth and was banded on Oct. 17th. I can use all the help I can get also. I started feeling great after the third or fourth day and really just don't know what I can eat. What do most bandsters start out doing?

hello, In the beginning I ate alot of soup and soft stuff. Now I can east most anything. Except bread!!! Sometimes I really miss bread. Just remember to take really small bites and chew chew chew!!! It really helps. And if you get something stuck try pineapple juice. Its a natural tenderizer. I see that your in Benbrook your really close to me I'm in White Settlement. Email me anytime it helps to tslk to other people who've had the band. Talk to you soon.
