I get so scared when I hear people gaining weight w/this band. I'm day 3 post op and am in pain saying what have I done to myself to get/stay skinny! Then I read this! Argh! Skinny Wine Pinot Grigio is good, started to drink that a few months ago! I'm dying for a glass of wine!

Wow. That's great! Keep the focus

Glad your on the mend Manda. I've not tried bending lol. Just pacing the floors. Sleeping lots today, which is good.

That's awesome news! My husband says if Water weight counts against u, it should work for u lol. Hope he returns home safe to u soon, u 2 will have plenty to celebrate!

Also, I've never baked them, usually put them in the freezer. These are also called, no bake cookies

These are a Xmas fav of mine! I usually make them without the banana, very yummy. Never knew they were so low in calories. I will for sure be making these more often, they are quick and simple

I was banded 2 days Ago. I recommend sleeping in a comfy chair mostly upright, with additional pillow upright on your back. Walk every hour for 15 minutes, I used a pillow on my belly for support, work your way up to 30minutes, slow pace. Take the pain meds! And have faith day 2 is the worst! Heating pad helps with the shoulder gas pain. Oh, and Popsicles! Good Luck, the best lies ahead!

Finally, the pain is passing! My incisions feel better, except port side, but manageable! How are my other Feb bands-ters doing?

Oh man, I hear ya. food, wine, everywhere. Order a Soup..... This pain sucks ! And the tylenol 3's r upsetting my tummy, not much orating on he belly

Ya that night shift stuff is rough Mandy. I do outside sales and have to give a presentation om Monday. They'll be eating pizza:(

Really 2 weeks! Crap.

Good Luck. Get a heating pad, for shoulder pain, and take your pain meds . Speedy recovery!

Oh man, I hope I'm better by Monday! I go back to work, full speed ahead! So. Much for Its a minor surgery, 3-5 days and your better...grrrrr. Shoulder pain is gone, just incision pain....pain meds every 3 hours on the bottom. Speedy recovery ladies

Congrats on your decision, now research clinics, get feedback from this sight, and mentally prepare!

I would suggest call doc. I just got banded, o I don't really know, but from reding this sight I would say ya. Good Luck

OOUCH!
