January '09 banders

This is my pre op diet:

My goodness. I wasn't allowed hardly any carbs. Okay, I call less than thirty grams of total carbs "hardly any." Can't complain about it, though. It's a fairly easy diet to live with, and doc prefers his patients stay below thirty grams per day for the rest of their lives, if possible. Should be relatively easy, since many high-carb foods would clog our stoma. Having had one experience with a minor obstruction, I never want to do that again!

I started a thread in the support group forum for all of us getting banded on the 15th. I thought it would be a nice way to track each other's progress since there seem to be quite a few of us scheduled for that date. Hope to see you there!

I too was band on the 8th. I am doing just fine and Yes I was worried. But nothing to worry about, it would be over very soon. It is wonderful to be banded.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone and soon you all well be on the band wagon.
