I'm glad you enjoyed it!

My first fill is a week from today and I'm a little nervous about it. I'm not squeamish about needles, but my port still gets pretty sore from time to time, so I'm not sure how fun it's going to be.

I hope you have a good week, too.

I was so glad to get out of the mushy phase and back to normal eating! I haven't been to a support meeting yet but I have my first fill in the afternoon of the 1st and they are having one that evening so I'm going to try to make it to that one. Have you been to one yet?

Hi Mezzo! It's great to "meet" another Dr. Ray patient! How are you doing in your first month of eating after being banded? Are you in the mushy phase now?

I'm glad you like the taco suggestion. I'm really trying to make my favorite meals band friendly. I feel like I need to find a way to eat things I like in a healthful way so I can sustain this lifestyle change long term. After 20 years of dieting and deprivation, I refuse to make my band another diet. lol

Good luck to you, too.

I'll post pics and my stats if I'm approved. But I'm so proud of you. You look fantastic!
