All right, so now I am on the soft food stage. Which is fish, beans, bananas, soft veggies, etc. And that is freaking great. I love it. I feel like a normal person again. Add to that the fact that I am healing quickly and barely feel sore at all anymore! It adds up to feeling really great lately! Like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have had quite a journey since 2006 to get here. In January 2006 I was diagnosed with LUPUS & RA just as I started my student teaching. I had spent a grueling 8 years trying to get a doctor to just sit still and LISTEN to me! When I finally got a diagnoses; I thought, ok, now I will get some help getting back to a normal life.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Danny and i was banded yesterday at St.Francis Hospital. Like some of you I am very troubled by all of the question that remane and the journey I am undertaking. Right now I am in mild paing from the surgery, I have good support from family and doctors. I am looking foward to this.

I got my first fill and for the first time since EVER I forget to eat! I have to force myself to remember that I have to eat protein and make sure I take my vitamins. I hate taking my liquid vitamins!

I figured out what people mean when they say they slimed! Yuck, but better than the pain. I try and eat slower but sometimes I forget and go too fast. I'm still losing weight but still eat more at each meal than they predicted. Maybe with one more fill. It's hard to stay energized....
