Thanks for all the positive feedback!

Hey ya'll I was just banded on 4/18/08 (yeah, one week down!). My starting weight was 200 lbs and I am hoping to lose about 75 lbs and get down to 125. The first week was a little tough, doing just clear liquids but I added some mashed potatoes to my diet today and felt a little more satisfied. I am still having massive pain in my left shoulder from trapped gas, but hopefully it will vanish sooner rather than later :w00t: I am so excited for this journey....
