Hello everyone:) I was banded on April 6th and had a hard first 2 weeks but now that I'm on my way to recovery I feel like I made the only choice I could.:rolleyes2: I started my mushie stage and that is making me feel even better with something other than liquids in me:tongue:. I am excited to begin this new way of life and never look back for my kids and for me:biggrin: I really have enjoyed this forum because during the tough times it is so nice to come on here and know that u are not the only one going through the same issues, it really has helped me.
