I'm in! I was banded on the 24th also and have lost 19 lbs so far! The shakes suck, so I skip them everyother day. Still trying to get all the fluids in I'm suppose too, Anyone have problems with taking the powder multi vitimin stuff other than me?
Good luck! I'm a self-pay also. Got banded June 24, 2011. I'm still adjusting to the Protein drinks etc. Yuck! Haven't been able to drink everything I'm suppose to but everything is suppose to loosen up some eventually.
I was banded Fri., June 24 and I know exactly how you feel. I've peed a lot, but no b.m. Not too worried about it yet. I just wish I didn't feel like I'd been punched in the stomach. Only been drinking liquids, but, man, I walk alot and still no relief.
