Dearest All Who's Reading,

Hi!!! I'm Nicole, I'm 23 years old, and I just got my lapband placed on October 8th, 2009. It's only a week post op and I'm doing pretty good so far. I just got to start on my blended food diet today, and gosh was I dyin! Being on the liver shrinking diet and then liquids still after surgery was rough. I was starvin marvin! lol....

Anyway, I am a single mother of a beautiful 2 year old little boy named Kaiden. Yep, I'm doing it on my own, so I'm excited to be on this site. Maybe I'll make some friends to support and be supported by on here, atleast that is what I am hopeful for. I've lost a total of 9 pounds and counting. God is good and with my through all of this. Congrats to everyone else that had band placement, and proud of you for the weight you've lost and the strength you have! Good Luck!!

Congrats on being banded and your 9 lb loss!

I had my band placed on Sept 23 and like you, I was starvin marvin for the first week.

Now that you are on mushies, try adding 1 oz of banana and a teaspoon of natural Peanut Butter to a Protein shake. It's a good way to stay full for hours.

Hey Nicole! Congratulations on being banded. I'm so scared but am going through with my appointments. I believe I will find out in 2 weeks if my insurance is approved. How did everything go with the surgery? Were you sore? Did you have any problems? Sorry for so many questions but like I said, I'm scared.

Congrats on the start of a happier and healthier you!
