I just had my band put in on November 17th and while I am very excited I'm a little nervous as well. I am doing better on the post op liquid diet than I thought I would, but it sure is tough to stick to especially since it was just Thanksgiving. Having to watch everyone enjoy a big turkey dinner was difficult, but I figured if I can make it through that and not tear the drumstick out of my sons hands, then I can have success with this.
