Soul Eating 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Hello all, My name is Claudia and I have been recently banded! ^^ After 2 rejections from my insurance I finally got my approval for surgery and had my Realize band implanted on 8/3 at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills by Dr. Kai Gregg Nishi. I am currently on week 2 of a 3 week liquid diet. Week 4 will be mashed/pureed foods and after that will be solids. So far I am down 11.5 pounds which I am sure is Water weight. I have a few questions that I will post to the appropriate forum ^^ I do have a blog/vlog that is separate from the blogs here at LBT, however I will see about doing some cross posting if possible. You can visit me at Soul Eating I am eagerly looking forward to learning more and talking with all of you! Claudia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Eating 0 Posted August 13, 2009 My god I hope so! :drool: I have very little restriction right now so everything liquid is going down very easily and unfortunately I've been having a few higher calorie Soups to keep me from going NUTS. I've evened out at 11.5 but as I always say "hey, weight, is weight. It could be gold or Water, it doesn't matter" I'm just trying to be patient with myself and heal until I get my first fill and really get down to business This looks to be a FANTASTIC site. I've already gotten answers and support to my questions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
