Hey there everyone that is my April bandster friends. Well I was banded on April 2nd by Dr spivak. Well I weighed myself on April 10th and guess what friends? I have lost 10 pounds already. Yea!!!! :clap2: I am so excited. And it has only been less than two weeks. But I took the kids to the fair today and I am learning that I have always used food as a comfort food. Just because while I was there I was not hungry but if I could have eaten I would have. I am learning alot about myself. When I am happy I ate when I was sad I ate. Wow I liked to eat for any reason. But thank god I have friends on here to help me. Well talk to everyone soon. Hugs:girl_hug: to all Stacey

Hello there everyone. Happy Easter to all. Well today has been my best day since I have been banded. Today is day six and this is so much more better. I was able to go to the movies with my husband today. It was so nice to get out. The gas pains are getting sooooo much better. And I am learning that small portions are great. We are all so lucky to be here. The oly problem I am having is that I am still bloated and my incision where the port is is a little itchy. Can any of you tell me what you are doing about protein drinks? I have tried some from GNC and let me just say GROSS. Well who ever is getting banded this month just remember that we are here for you. I was banded on 4-2-07 and let me tell you every day gets better. Trust me we all know that has had it done. Hugs to all my new lb friends. Stacey

Congratulations to Sherri on the surgery date. Iw as banded on April 2nd 2007. You will feel very sore but it is worth it. And be sure to haev your gas X ready. It will become your new best friend. Also have a heating pad for your left shoulder. As the gas pains can hurt. But once you give it a few days you will feel great. And you might be a little nauseated after surgery. Please stay intouch on the board. Stacey

Be sure to get gas X that stuff is a life saver. And a heating pad for your left shoulder. The gas can be crazy.
