I'm persevering!! I'm having some non-band related health challenges, but I refuse to let it derail me! I love my band so far, and am excited to have my first fill this week! Day by day, pound by pound, mile by mile! I love the fitpal and endomondo apps on my phone. It makes it really easy to track my food and exercise! I need to figure out how to add people to the apps so we can encourage each other! Hard to believe it's been a month already!! :DLaura

I'm two weeks postop tomorrow. Everything is going well. I hardly feel any restriction now. I wish they wouldn't make me wait til February 1st for my first fill. I went to mushies after the first week. I'm down 10lbs. Shoulder/neck pain keeps coming back. Happy New year fellow bandsters! It's going to be our year!!

Wow i made it to the one week post surgery mark. Today was a good day. The shoulder/neck pains have finally let up. That was worse than the incision pain by far. My glue is lifting and itchy so i guess I'm healing. It's so hard not to lift stuff. As an independent single girl I'm used to doing it all myself. I hope i didn't overdo it this week. What a great way to start 2013

Good morning fellow December bandsters. I'm thrilled to post that i woke up feeling great this morning. I was banded on 12/19. I've lost 7 lbs so far! 7 more to get to Onederland! Thanks for your posts. The gas and bathroom issues have been easier to deal with knowing it's normal and will be over soon. I'm off for a walk on the beach. Hope you have an awesome day too!

Hi I got my band on 12/19/2012. I'm trying to patiently wait out the gas pains. Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. It's so nice to hear everyone's experiences and know that I'm in good company.
