Newly Banded!

I was banded March 2nd in Monterrey, Mexico by Dr Rumbaut (who is just wonderful) Now home and ready to start my new life! Am on the liquid phase,my Dr. wants me on that for a month, and finding it rough, I'm hungry and definatley mourning the loss of my good friend food! I know the light is there at the end of the tunnel, and I will get through this phase,but it does get better, doesn't it? Any ideas for how to curb the hunger? I'm on protein shakes and water mostly, some jello and boullion. Thanks to everyone on this board, I have gotten invaluable info from you all!

Congrats Mary. I hope all is going well. I hope to have your same "problems" in the future Keep pounding the water and just focus on the soon to be lighter you. my thoughts are with you. vicki

Hang in there Mary!!...I am pre-op, and am trying to live as if I have already been banded.....trying to fool my mind now, so I won't feel bad about food afterward.....just hope it works... Bettye G pre-op
