I'm one week since surgery and man do I have a dry mouth! I'm always drinking thinking it will help and nothing! I feel your pain. I feel great. Back to my old self, except the dry mouth!

I got banded by Dr. Atkinson here in Vegas. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Especially for a self pay like myself. I would refer him anytime.

Oh wow. I know exactly what you are going through!! I was also banded on the 24th. For the first time lately I've been feeling hungry. However, when I start to eat soup or something. I don't want it. I've noticed that when you drink a lot of Water and Protein shakes, it tends to get better. You aren't as hungry. Although trust me, like you I've never been more excited to eat mashed potatoes soon. LOL Keep up the good work though! As much as you want food now, with the weight loss and how we will all be in the future it will be all worth the starving for two weeks =)

Hi everyone. I had my band done on the 24th. For the first couple of days I felt pretty nauseous, even a bit this morning. However, this evening I'm starting to feel like my old self again. I'm excited for the journey ahead! Good Luck to you all!
