Congrats and yes this band is our best friend ! I am in the same boat I got banded on the 17th of this month but I am loving this band we can do this CHANGE IS BEAUTIFUL! Good Luck to you !

thank you so much. The same to you. I am sure our paths will cross here frequently.

good luck guys! I was banded 12/30/10, BEST thing you could have ever done for yourselves! Please remember this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE not a DIET. You MUST be ready to change how you did everything in the past this is not a miracle band, not a fix all, please please please do yourself a favor and if you have ANY issues that made you over eat, something that happened in your past, PLEASE seek help for it, if you dont deal with your past you are at risk for slipping back into old habits. I wish you the BEST, it really is worth it, i promise! You will have bad days, you will have days that you will say what did i do? Let me tell you, you saved your own life, stick with it, do what your doctor says, you will be SO happy with the decision that you made!

Zil. I'm on my 11th day exact! I just need a little more help on this diet. I'm trying different full liquids..do you have any other advise on foods you've had. I have to be on this full liquid diet for 3 weeks. Seems kind of long and I am already getting bored with the same meals. I've been extremely strict with myself on this diet. I'm proud of myself but need a little more motivation..lol.. I'm so glad I got the surgery done. I'm down 15lbs. good luck!
