Hello to everyone!!

I was just banded on Oct. 22nd. My emotions have been all over the place! Wondering what in the world have I done? I know in the long run it will all be worth it!! Somedays I feel like I want to go to every fast food resturant in town:tounge_smile:. TV commercials are the worst. But all in all, I'm holding in together.:thumbup: I was banded at Fairview southdale in the twin cities, by Dr. Luguna.

Hello Deb and Welcome to LBT! I promise it gets better.. The commercials will always look good but eventually you won't really care about em.

So how are you feeling? You still on post op diet? Had any fills etc?

Yeah I am nosey :thumbup:

Deb, don't worry, it gets better I promise. I cried for 3 days after the surgery and I don't know why. Maybe you are just overwhelmed with everything. Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. ARe you still on liquids or now on mushy or blended foods?

I'm doing pretty good. At times I feel like I could eat just about anything, but I usually can fight it off. Been dealing with part of 1 incision that won't heal. That's been fun. I'm still in the mush phase or puree phase. Can't wait to get to the next step. I long for something to chew or something crunchy. No fills as of now, first fill is scheduled for Dec 8th.

Thanks, I know it will get better. Yeah, I'm on the puree phase. Can't wait for real food again. Longing for something to chew or crunch.

Thanks, I'm sure it will get better. Yeah, I'm in the puree phase. Longing for something to chew or crunch. Texture I guess is what I'm missing!!
