New bandit from Manchester, UK



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow bandsters (we call them bandits in the UK!). I was banded on 15th November 2008 at Healthier Weight Clinic in Manchester, UK, under surgeons Dr Favretti and Dr David Ashton. I have been keeping a daily blog (see address in signature) since 9th November of my experiences during the pre-op diet, surgery and now post-op. I started off weighing about 19 stone 7 pounds and am now 18 stone - a lot of weight loss in just three weeks but I know most of this is 'fluids' and related to a dramatic reduction in calories.

I've only just found this forum and it looks fantastic - I have added it to my blog's list of useful 'web links'. I can't wait to start reading and contributing to some of the threads - at present I'm particularly interested in what sorts of foods I should be starting to eat now I am progressing into the 'puree phase'.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you - good luck out there. :cursing: Theresa.
