<p><p>Hang in there Alma! You've made a decision to change your life for the better...you just have to keep remembering that! Why are you not following the food plan as instructed? Have you been able to eat more than you're supposed to? Maybe you need to have your band adjusted again.</p></p>

Hello! I was banded on July 2, 2007...just three weeks ago...and I feel great! I was banded in Louisville, KY by Dr. Shuster. I've noticed that some people are posting that they can't eat solids for 5 weeks post-op. I just started eating small portions of solids and am doing fine with them...my doctor did not have a problem with that. I've lost 13 lbs. since starting the liquid diet one week pre-op. I've visited the site several times since surgery and really enjoy the helpful advice, support, and comments from all!
