I personally can not eat sandwiches, pizza etc. Anything doughy. But some people can. I only eat three meals a day and try no to snack. But do sometimes. I never drink so don't know about alcohol. Good Luck. Joan

Hi Ellen my Doctor is VERY conservative also said that he thought the band was the best for me. I was banded on 02/06/07 and have lost about 110lbs. Good Luck Joan

Dr. Malley did my banding. I think he is the greatest and so is his staff. Joan

February 6th at 0800 am. Dr Malley. Joan

Being I am still on anything that would go though a straw. VD day will not be a problem for me. But I promised DH a nice dinner. Joan

I am feeling pretty good. Decide after a rough weekend to take another week off. Don't help that I hate my job. Tried scrambled eggs yesterday BIG mistake. Otherwise I feel okay. Have my FU with Dr Malley on Friday. Joan

I was banded on Feb. 6th and I had to take another week today. I feeling alright just not great. Still feel weak and I haven' had anything that has not been in the blender first. Joan

Post op. Pack you favorite hard candy to suck on. Joan

I had the most awful pain on the right side under my breast. Not as bad today. I think may I was not drinking enough water. I'm feeling better today. But Thinking about extending my leave a week. Just not sure I am ready psychologically to go back to work. Joan

Feeling pretty good. Had my first full liquid this morning. I had pureed prunes and cream of wheat. Could only eat about half the cream of wheat. But finished the prunes. I have a big gas bubble in the middle of my stomach that doesn't seem to want to move. But all and all I feel good. Joan

Feeling pretty good. Having alot of gas today exspected that. But sometimes it was pretty bad. I'm still not really hungery. I had some jello and broth today and a 1/4 cup of a protein drink. Haven't taken any pain meds today. Might before bed though. Joan

I was banded yesterday. Feel good sometimes a little weak. But all and all good. Joan

I am feeling good. Got home about 11:00 this morning. I wanted to move in at the hospital. It was like a 5 star hotel with a nurse. I had my own private nurse for days and nights. I'm not even hungrey yet. I have had some decaff coffee about a half cup. Cranberry apple juice and a SF jello. The gas has hit today. But nothing so for that I can't live with. I haven't had to take anything for pain all day. I took a nap from 11:30 to 3:30. What did you dr say about stairs? My computer is downstairs. Of course DH's wireless connection would not work on his lap top. So I had to come downstairs to update all. Joan

My surgery is on Tuesday february 6th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow I'm getting a little nervous. Just need to finish up a few things. I want to write my daughter a letter just in case. But I'm sure nothing will happen. Just hope I can take tomorrow. Personally I think that wil be harder then the banding. I could never do the liquid diet for two weeks. Glad my surgeon does not require that. Wish me luck Joan
