Greetings! My name is Sheila and I was Banded on 4/13. At my followup(10 days) I had lost 12.5lbs.

Been married almost 25 yrs to a wonderful man. We have the pleasure of having our daughter and her 7yr old twin sons live with us.

At this point I so very much miss eating.

I also began a new life 4/13/09 and have lost 16 pounds. The hunger is about to stress me out I am so tired of liquids

Congrats! 16lbs-woohoo! What are you ingesting exactly?

Hi there to both of you,

Congrats on your surgeries. I was banded on the 23rd and am currently having full liquids (milk, yoghurt, smoothies, Protein drinks, pureed Soups, etc). Hope your recoveries have been fast and smooth.

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. It's a wonderful place for support.

Also, you're both on the list of April bandsters HERE.

Hi all, I hear you guys not lovin the liquids, had my surgery on the 21st. I find myself questioning why I did this today, I just saw a picture I took last summer, I'll need to look at it more often.
