only one with the band???

am i the only one who got the lap band in november???? anyone who ha**** me up so we can exchanges war stories and *****ing about the liquid diet lol. thanks nicole

Nicole I got banded the day before you. Meet your November Banding Buddy, Cat! I agree the liquid diet is getting old, but luckily my surgeon allows a clear/full liquid diet the first week and so I'm on full liquids already. I have had issues with creamed soups but no problem with the protein shakes. I feel pretty good and have been walking the last few days. Finally was allowed to drive today and went shopping. My port area is sore mainly when I get up from sitting or lying down. Thank goodness for Liquid Tylenol. Can't wait for mushies! I'm allowed them on Monday. My biggest issue now is I'm so paranoid about eating too much and vomiting I dont think I'm getting enough calories in right now. I just don't want my band to slip. talk to you soon, Cat

Hey Nicole I am soon to be a bandster I am looking forward to the liquid diet just to see if I can do it I am sure I will hate it but I will find Joy in the journey Heather
