Hi Everyone! I went shopping today and was able to fit into XL tops and size 14 pants...although I had to bump up a size for jeans to a 16...but the best thing is I did not have to go to the plus size section. It was so awesome and I couldn't believe it was my butt in the pants I tried on...lol...I am 7 weeks post op and I have had one fill. I am still feeling restriction but not as much as before. I have been exercising on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week. I am looking forward to my next fill and maybe instead of buying new clothes I will be heading to the consignment store.

Lol, I feel like I'm being tortured reading some of these posts. I've been banded since Wednesday and I would kill for some "real" food right about now. I'm being good though and sticking to liquids, mostly because I'm scared to death to mess something up or throw up. I went back to work today and I did ok. Pain got a little worse. It almost felt as though my insides were so swollen they were going to burst out of me. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better because I have to grocery shop and throw a wedding shower for 160 people...that will be the real torture. On the bright side I am down 5lbs! Woohoo!!!

Hi there! I just got my band on 03/14/12. I have been having some gas issues as well as incision pain. I haven't looked yet because the nurse said not to remove the bandages for three days. I have been drinking mostly water and a few ounces of protein shake and chicken broth. I have only felt hungry once since the surgery and that was this afternoon. A couple of ounces of chicken broth solved that and then I felt stuffed. I guess I'm still pretty swollen. I'm going to attempt to go back to work tomorrow. I will be checking in to try and keep track of what y'all are going through since you have a few days on me. Congratulations!!
