Thank you and we can do this!

  Good Monday Everyone,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.   Mine was alright.    My middle son is home with Mono so I am taking care of him and hoping he gets well soon.    Other than that my weekend was uneventful. I am grateful that a few people showed up for my monthly support group yesterday even though very many didn't RSVP and let me know that they were coming.   I am grateful for so many things in my life.   Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers along with my WLS, Family, friends, all the different WLS that available for everyone to choose today, grateful for all the things that I can do since WLS that I thought I would never get to do.    SO grateful for all the little things in life we seem to take for granted.....waking up each day......my 5 senses and life itself.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian

Sounds like you are doing great so far. I only did liquids for a few days, wasn't really hungry much due to the pain medicine. I gradrually moved on to soft foods, pudding, jello, which sounds like you are already there with no issues. I was starving by day 10 so I started eating eggs, yogurt, etc and was fine. Just eat when you are hungry and stop once you feel full. You probably won't have much restriction starting out, I didn't at least but everyone is different. And remember to walk as much as you can! I hope this information helps some. Good Luck and Congrats on being banded!

 Hello All,

I just had my surgery couple of days a go and feel real good. Actually no pain. I am taking some Ibuprof but that is all. No craving yet, have been doing the liquid diet. I ate some jello and puddin today (sugar free) and feel good.

Any suggestions for the first couple of weeks post bandning?

THanks, 

  Hello Everyone,

This afternoon in Keller we will be having our first support group meeting of the year.    I know we ALL need this after all the holiday celebrations.    If you live in the area or are within driving distance we would LOVE to have you come and join us.     We have a recipe each month, monthly clothing exchanges, samples to try, and our meetings are topic based.    We meet at Carroll Watkins Driving School.....303 N. Main St.......Keller, Tx. 76248.    It is in the Keller Plaza next door to Dollar General.  Our meeting is only 1 hour long ( from 3:30 - 4:30 ).    We usually meet the first sunday in the month but due to New Years Day being last sunday we pushed it back a week.   Hope to see you there.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
