Congrats.

You will be able to chew soon enough so don't stress. Although it seems like this stage lasts forever in reality it is only a very short time. Enjoy on Friday

I feel your pain, I was banded on 12/16 and prior to being banded I hardly cooked at home, it was always fast food and take out..Now that I'm banded I can honestly say that I really don't crave them anymore. The only thing that I am wanting really bad is a COKE...OMG I COULD JUST TASTE IT.....

GermaineF...I thought the same thing about some Pepsi as I picked up a 2-liter for my husband. LOL. I decided not to risk eat and drank some tea w/splenda instead. lol.
