I LOVE this "list" of what we go through,  because its SO TRUE!!!!!

I had the same feelings....

I actually had regret for a few months....

Then I realized it was the BEST DAMN thing I had ever done!! 

2+ years post op...  still feel the same way.

Hang in there!

Wow, I have never seen this list before!  Do you care if I copy it and give the author and you credit if I post it on OH in the future?  It's so TRUE!  Love it.

And I'm thrilled to say I'm at the bottom of the list.

I love the list Lisa shared.  I have printed it up and have it on my bulletin board near my computer.

Good stuff!

I promise it will get SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.  Believe in this.  Do everything in your power to follow the diet so you heal and your band settles in.  It will be worth it.
After surgery I had the worst awful, burning sore throat, so it made it a challenge to drink.  Just awful, but I have forgotten about it until a post like this comes up.  Life is so good now and you will be amazed at how fast the time goes by. 

Hugs,
Kristi

 This is Bandster-Hell Week.  No worries, it will pass and when you start seeing results you will have forgotten this week.  Stay focus and realize this is a temporary feeling and temporary liquid diet.  You will wish for the liquid diet sometimes when you become overwhelmed with what food to eat sometimes.
