Dear John, knock off what you are doing...stop worrying, please...drink atkins shakes, eat diet Jello, cup a Soup, chicken cream, wont hurt you..let your tummy heal, it will and fast too....just keep drinking Water at intervals, and keep your Protein to a miimun...stop fretting,no need to tell anyone............ you can do it, and you will do it... i as banded on luly 31, on liquids for two weeks, then mush, mashed potatoes, squash, diet jello etc., now regular food, only a little bit...hang in there, do not give up on allof this bandstuff...........calm down. there are many people who understand exactly what you are going through....relax..your tummy is healing now, do not force food it has to heal the band placement has to heal etc...then you will be back to normal..... carole.partridge61gmail.com if ou would liketo email me.

Dear friend, Thankyou so very much.....I will check this out.....I am relieved to read that you were done in june 09....Need to hear some positive comments...when I read about all the throwing up etc., I begin to worry if I am doing the right thing for me...my family is encouraging, but deeply concerned....I have lost over 100 lbs. on my own, ten years ago, but now I am up over 250 now...My normal weight used to be 125...the good life to me means traveling with food etc.....but I am the only one who is wearing it.....please keep in touch, I admire your for your guts and determination in choosing to be happy and well.
