I just got my band done on Thursday I am really excited to see the difference it will make. I lost 9 pounds by the day of surgery in in the 3 days since I am down another 3. I am having a hard time with this liquid diet, I have been doing soups mostly, protein drink, and jello but I just need something different. I am holding out though because the thought of hurting my healing is too scary to me. I look forward to hearing from all you new friends out there to help me along the way
