Introducing Myself

[Mizzoupoodle 0]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I am 9 days out from lap band surgery. I was banded in Tijuana by Dr. Ortiz. I'm still on liquids...start full liquids tomorrow. I have been following my post-op instructions carefully but it's killing me to fix my kids food and not eat, lol. My highest weight was 289 and my surgery weight was 213. I haven't weighed since the surgery but I feel lighter, lol:thumbup:

I find so many of the posts here an inspiration to me!!

Welcome! I know what you mean about the torment that comes with fixing food that you can't eat. I also had to deal with lots of well meaning people offering me food when they forgot I was on liquids. Thankfully today my doctor gave me the go ahead to eat solids, I am 8 days out of surgery so I was suprised but happy! I agree that these posts can be inspirational! It is great to read about what everyone else is going through and how they overcome obstacles!

I am new too. Just got banded 5 days ago. I am still hurting and I am still on liquids. I go back and see my doctor on Monday the 17th. I am still having pain from the gas, can't seem to get rid of it. Anyone have any suggestions?
