Hello everyone:) I was banded on April 6th and had a hard first 2 weeks but now that I'm on my way to recovery I feel like I made the only choice I could.:rolleyes2: I started my mushie stage and that is making me feel even better with something other than liquids in me:tongue:. I am excited to begin this new way of life and never look back for my kids and for me:biggrin: I really have enjoyed this forum because during the tough times it is so nice to come on here and know that u are not the only one going through the same issues, it really has helped me.

Congrats on the start of a happier and healthier you.

Congrats on your surgery and on getting to mushies!!

You've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Also, not sure if you know but there's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time.

hey mommyofthree bandster sister! I was banded on April 6th and I was told 4 days of clear liquid, then 2 weeks of full liquods... can't wait for the puree in a week. Glad to know someone else who was banded on the same day!

Really glad I did it. I feel there is a very real possibility of freedom from food. I have been reading a great book called "eating the moment" I highly recomend it!
