Hi Everyone, I just love this site! I was banded November 3rd 2008, tomorrow will be 2 weeks. I start the puree foods, any suggestions and I see my dr. on Friday. I live in Corpus Christi, hey texygirl, my dr. was Dr. Dean McDaniel from Victoria. I'm so excited to be on this journey, and have waited a long time for this (it was an insurance thing). I haven't felt any restriction yet, but I've only been doing liquids so far. Any advice will be appreciated.

Welcome tulip and congratulations on your recent band :smile2:)

Not everyone likes baby food, but I loved baby 1st foods during puree phase.. I had the butternut squash, peas, sweet potatoes, and bananas.. I added salt to the veggies and they were wonderful!

Most people don't feel restriction until they get some fill(s) in their band. So if you start feeling like you were never banded, don't fret.. it happens!

Stick to your post-op diet, it's very important.. and good luck!
