New bander in town

[DJFA08 16]

Hello all... I had my surgery Feb. 13. I've been researching the lap band for about a year. I have several friends who are enjoying lap band success and they are certainly an inspiration. I've lost some weight already. Looking forward to starting my mushy food phase (I cannot take another day of Optifast). I'm also looking forward to beginning a workout routine.

Did you ever think you would utter those words, "I can't wait to start eating MUSHY food? "

Congrats on gifting yourself with your new tool !!!!

Welcome! I was banded close to you (on the 18th) and I am also looking forward to adding new foods to my diet, even if they are mushies lol. I've found a lot of inspiration online in places like Bariatric Pal and on blogs. It's really motivating, isn't it? Best of luck to you on your journey

Congratulations! I was banded on January 30th. After two weeks of having my really gross Protein Shakes, plain chicken broth never tasted so good. I was ecstatic on week three when I could eat a chopped up egg! Lol!
