banded 11/02

banded on 11/02  feeling pretty good but not liking the clear liquid diet   -feeling some port discomfort- doc said it was on the right.  Going out for a walk now.  Lost 5 this past week. 

Hi!
Five pounds in a week is awesome!
Congrats!!!

Clear liquids are never fun but I'm sure you'll be able to add in other things pretty soon (I don't know when but I'm guessing your dr has given you an idea of when).

Hang in there....good things are on the way.

Glad to see you're doing so well!  Keep up the great work

There were moments during the liquid phase that drove me nuts.  Probably cause I wasn't chewing things.  I wasnt hungry but I needed more than the liquid.  When it made me really crazy I bought some Sugar Free candy to suck on.  That did help.  You have to make sure you just suck it till it disolves and not chew it.  But it did help keep the mouth busy.  When do you start the next phase?
