March 25 banded

[vachik89 4]

Hi I was banded on March 25, 2013. I had my first follow up post op visit April 4. Pre liver shrinking diet weight was 232, current weight is 213. I started the "moonshies" on Friday. Never been so happy to eat a scrambled egg in my life. I also had a hiatal hernia repair, and get to go back to work Monday, April 8. I have found that I M not hungry, yet, on this current phase. I can no longer drink Decaf coffee, weird, since I was able to do that during the liquids only phase. My energy level has increased, and I have dropped an entire pant size. I voiced concern about gaining weight during this phase, and my nutritionist told me to expect some, but to keep my focus. I can't have any breads or Pasta or red meat yet, so my meals have consisted of a Protein Shake, injury, for Breakfast , cottage cheese and canned chicken for lunch, and salmon for dinner.

I look forward to a lot of success on the band!
