Hello everyone. I was banded 10-15-08. All seems to be going well. Today at work we are celebrating belated Boss's Day and we all brought goodies. Our office is small only 5 people. I have not told anyone at work about by lapband so my excuse is that I just don't feel well today. This is killing me because you should see the spread of food that is here today. Needless to say I am still and the semi-liquid diet. Ugh!!!. Still having some shoulder pain but Gas-X is helping. I have lost a total of 15 pounds including pre-op diet. I am so excited to be joining this journey with everyone. Later from a very rainy Nebraska.:biggrin:
