Hey Jeri,

well it been almost 2 weeks and I dropped from 232 to 211 now for the past 5 days I have stayed the same, yes I am able to take in a little more food but not near half of what I used to consume. all pretty soft stuff but I did try hard boiled eggs grated, a chicken tortilla soup not blended and it went down fine a few crackers and oatmeal. I have learned that MILK is not my friend GAS!!!!! I guess once O get my first fill I will be back to not being able to eat anything right? hope your doing well and thanks again for your support I so want to be where you are now. Congrats on all your hard work and effort and success. Patti

Hey Jeri,

Well I survived!, banded on 2/18, I was sore and had a hard time waking up post op and getting up to walk. once drugs wore off I was better, I woke up with a fat lip don't know what happened in surgery but it will go down, now 5 days post op I am up and about, it hurts when I have a burp or cough, want to take in soft foods but don't dare, afraid of getting stuck, what type of food did you eat, have any good ideas?

Thanks Jeri., Well its been a busy week with pre ops.cardiac clearance, and lab work, I had nutrition with Julie yesterday and today is prep day. everything all in order and I report at 6:00am almost there.

Hey Jeri,

Thanks for talking with me at the meeting. I have my date "2/18", I have been on my pre op diet and starting all my pre op dr. visits, reality now setting in, its finally going to happen. I've been waiting and jumping thorugh hoops for almonst 9 months.

Hello everyone, I'am new to Band around Burbank, just got approval and a cardio consult. then I can make an appointment, Kinda scared, nervous..... don't really have anyone who understands what I have been feeling or have felt over the past years. Looking forward to the next meeting.
