Hello everyone. I was just recently banded, 4/5/7. My first wt was 301. After that "delicious" 2 week liquid protein diet, I went into surgery with a wt loss of 21 lbs. My first post op dr. appt is tomorrow. I am a single mother, 47, two children, son 24, daughter 19. I am a LPN going to RN school this fall. I believe I started gaining my wt due to depression. I have been divorced for 6 years. My only problem so far is I havent learned yet how to "read" what my ban is telling me. I am really having to learn what "feeling full" is. So far I am still on a full liquid diet, and I think I have had all the fun there is to have concerning this phase of the diets. Really looking forward to the blended diet. I look at this band as a new start for me. Its moms turn at a life. I really want a pair of jeans with no elastic in the waist, and I dont want to have to cover my butt with a long shirt. I truly hope I keep my frame of mind that I possess at this moment until I reach my goal!
