Newly banded

[David'smom 0]

I just had my band put in on November 17th and while I am very excited I'm a little nervous as well. I am doing better on the post op liquid diet than I thought I would, but it sure is tough to stick to especially since it was just Thanksgiving. Having to watch everyone enjoy a big turkey dinner was difficult, but I figured if I can make it through that and not tear the drumstick out of my sons hands, then I can have success with this.

I was also banded on the 17th. I almost did not go to our family gathering, but I didn't want to disappoint my kids. It was hard at times the doctor had just allowed mushies, so about 3 tablespoons of mushies put me to over filled. I will admitt there were a few times I was kind of sad that I couldn't eat or pick at stuff while my mom was cooking. Then I had my lovely brother teasing every chance he had with stuff like " want some oh thats right you can't" I know he was not meaning it to be be mean but it was hard. I'm glad it's over!
