Hello Illinois Friends!!!

hello Illinois!  I just thought I would check in and see how you all are doing?  I am doing well.

I was banded on October 16th, I am doing pretty good as far as my pain and intake of liquids.  I can't wait to get to the "mushie" stage which I should get to advance to this Thursday.  Yay!!!

Do you have any good ideas for the mushie stage?  what did you eat at this stage?

  Oh- and I want to thank you all who gave me advice and helped me to get BCBSIL to finally approve me for surgery!!!   I appreciate it so much.  I truly believe this surgery will change my life for the good!

Blessings!  Jeni

Hello Jeni and congrats on your surgery, I ate alot of refried beans and egg beaters when I was on the mushie  stage, You can also check out Egg face's page she has alot of recipes for all stages, Take care,

Hello Jeni. My re-surgry was 10/17/08! Good luck on your journey. I noticed you have gotten alot of good advice from everyone. I messed up my band the first time around and I am grateful for the second chance.

Hi Treeda,

thank you.  And congratulations on your "Re-band"  I am sorry you had to go through that though.

How did you mess up the first time around?

in any event I am so glad that you got a second chance and I wish you the BEST in your weight loss journey!!!

Jeni
