First social gathering after being banded.

Well...that was tough! I attended a house warming this evening which included tons of yummies and margaritas. It felt like the people who know I had been banded kept watching to see how much I would eat. I got small plate and made sure to stay out of the area, as for the drinking I stayed away also but still had a great time.

Tell us more…what exactly did they serve? Did you have any issues chewing thoroughly? I worry that I will forget when I go to my first gathering. How long has it been since your surgery?

I'm one month post op and on solids as per my doctor. They had pigs in a blanket, chips, salsa, guacamole cakes, cokes, and mini taco bowls. So basically for me it was all slider food. I decided to get the mini taco fillings minus the bowl. My biggest problem in the past was not being able to stop eating when socializing. It was funny because I went back for more cherry tomatoes and bumped into someone and held a 5 min. convo and then I realized, I'm not hungry and I need to stay out of the kitchen, that was my light bulb moment. The great part was I felt satisfied and there was no need for me to unbutton my pants after eating lol jk.

Wow you did great! The pig without the blanket might have been good too. Love that about the pants ????
