Hello Edavis,
I just got my band on July 11, 2006. I do not go to my follow up visit until the 26th of july. I live in Spring, Texas (Houston really). I am so glad to hear that there is a silver lining ahead. I am sick of this liquid diet. It makes me feel really good knowing, that although I won't be able to eat much, that i will Be able to eat in the near future. I was so glad to read your message. I am 26 years old and a wife and mother of 3. I hate to pat myself on the back but I can really cook. And I have put my family on a diet but I still am cooking solid foods such as ground turkey loaf, grilled chicken breasts, baked chicken, broccoli, green Beans, etc. It is hard to give them a meal and then eat my measly bowl of cream of mushroom Soup. I am really hungry. I know that I have to follow directions because I don't want to get sick. How long was it before you actually ate your first meal??????????????????????????????????
