It has been one week exactly that I was banded and I am honestly feeling great. Most of the pain from the surgery is gone and yesterday I started adding some "moist and mushy" food into the mix of Clear Liquids. Just a little and it has been OK. I am not really hungry so much, but do have head hunger and am trying to get over that. Today is my first day back to work and so far, so good. I have a post-op nutrition class and my post-op examination this afternoon. Am looking forward to getting more information on how to adjust to this new lifestyle. I am trying to be really positive about this and as a result, just more positive in my life in general.

I was banded yesterday at 11 a.m. at the surgi center and the staff was great! Felt a little queezy after but that dissipated once I got home. I was home by 3:15 and yesterday and today I have had some minor abdominal pain. It is hard to take the liquids because I just don't feel thirsty at all but I know we are supposed to. Been taking the percosets for pain (have to crush up and drink with my liquid - so gross) and trying to move around as much as possible. I do feel hungry though. I think this will be hard for a week of clear liquids. Hopefully it gets easier!

So two weeks in and all is going great. I had minimal pain & discomfort, was even being dragged around the mall 2 days later. One week of liquid only was NBD, same with mushies. They keep telling me my appetite will come back but it has not, in fact, I have very little desire to eat. I am still drinking two of my meals every day and what I do eat I do not finish. Probably only averaging 6-800 calories a day, with 80-90g of Protein. Not sure about actual weight loss as I will not be a scale watcher. I had a doc visit one week post-op and I was down 7 pounds from pre-surgery weigh in. My next appointment is on the 20th, that will be the next time I get on a scale. I am suppose to get my first fill then but not sure if I need it. That being said I do know this, my clothes are definitely starting to fit differently. My pants are probably 2 sizes too big and shirts are fitting more comfortably.
In other words, things are going great and wanted to share.

My date is March 6th and while I am quite excited and hopeful, I am also a bit nervous. I guess that is natural. Just not sure what to expect relative to pain and I have two young children.
