New to this

Hi Everyone just wanted to introuduce myself...not sure how all this works...I'm Kristine from Kansas City, MO.  I had my lap-band surgery on July 27th.  Had a bad experience w/the surgery, the surgeon cut my stomach, and I had some infections which lead me to be in ICU for a week...but i'm home now and doing better :)  Just I guess going through the "mourning" period they talked about.  All i have had for 2 weeks is protien shakes, plain soup, and jello YUK! So just wanted some advice on how to get more positive and hang in their until I see my surgeon next weds and get to eat "real" food again.

so sorry you had such a bad experience. but wanted to welcome you to the board and hope you will keep coming back and let us share in your wls journey.  I dont know any thing about the lap band surgery so cant advise you on any of the diet. but know that it will get better. Jan

Kristen, I live in Lees Summit and I am having surgery on Wednesday.  I have a cousin who went through surgery 6 years ago and her advise to  me.. is Hang In There... you can do it... I am right behind you... Karen

thanks everyone :) I'm hanging in there..every day is a new challange for me. Good luck on your surgery!!!!
