Hi everyone! Just joined the group today. I hope everyone is recovering well with very little pain. I was banded 12/18 so I'm still on liquids............not hungry yet, but I heard that happens around day 10. OK gotta get moving...........need to "walk it out" and many of you know just what I'm talking about - lol!!!

hi luckyjyn, I was banded a day after you. I started to get a little hungry already but the carnation instant breakfasts sure help. I go to my doctor next friday so I should be able to start my puree'd foods then. I can also have cream soups strained and broth of course and other thick liquids. Im down 22 lbs now and very excited about that. I start the gym on monday for the treadmill ...

glad you joined us ..

I was Banded on 12/22/08 and I fill great. all the Pain is gone and I'm eating mushy foods. I fell like i'm ready for solids. did anyone else fill like this so early?

Welcome to the group luckyjyn! Congrats on your banding. I was banded on the 5th and doing great. I really was suprised about how little pain I had at all. I am released from light lifting now and am ready to take on the world. LOL - ok well maybe not the world but still gotta love how this feels.

Congrats on the weightloss! Feels good doesn't it?

Thanks for such a warm welcome everyone - I am excited for all of us! Julie - I looked all over Wal-Mart for the Carnation Instant - is it on the cereal isle?

Hi everyone, Just got banded December 30th: Happy New Year and Happy new me!

I'm feeling real good today, and returned to my normal activity. I look forward to a great year, and appreciate the support:tongue:!

Now, gotta get rid of all of the holiday goodies! I'm not tempted, but I think it would be good for my whole family to start anew!

I found the Carnation instant breakfast at Smart & Final.
