Good for you. I was banded on the 24th and except for walking around my house and tonights exhausting halloween excursion I haven't tried. I have been so exhausted.

Hi Holly and all of the Tenacious tens! I haven't posted much, but my surgery was on October 24th! Noreen

Hi Banded momx6 - You should try nasal spray. My nasal alergies are really helped by nasal spray. Good luck in your journey!

So excited to talk to all you other tens!! I will be coming back here often!! Today was my first day back at work and I feel like I was beaten up by middle schoolers. Hey Crikkit - How do you feel about Sashimi. I may switch. I am thinking about tring to make a sushi roll without the rice but using extra avacado for binding. I'll let you know. Great meeting all of you.

In Hershey park last year I didn't even bother with some of the thrill rides because there were signs that said. People of extreme hight or weight may not fit in the seats, they suggested I try the seat. I was to embarassed to even try the seat. I didn't want the walk of shame. Going to Dorney parkin June and Disney in July - I may even look at the pictures that they take on the rides!! Weight Loss Tickers

I know that two weeks is not a long time when you look at the scope of things. I think that my problem is that today was my first day back at work and Middle school kids are hard to deal with when you have no caffine. I will hold out though!!

the doctor wants us on Water and Protein shakes only for the first 2 weeks, then the mushy food stage. I may have to cheat and have some coffee, tea is not cutting it in the morning!

I was banded on October 24th and am on the second day of phase 1 -Protein shakes and Water. This phase lasts for 2 weeks. aargh! I will be so done with Protein shakes by the end of the second week. I am dying for a cup of coffee...badly. Is anyone else out there needing some Joe!!! Weight Loss Tickers

I am hungry. I am on protein shakes and water for 2 more weeks. Thanks for all the support!

Hi everyone, Just banded on October 24th. I am on Protein shakes and Water only. I am doing ok, but I miss my Sushi. I started with the Protein Shakes 2 weeks before the surgery and lost 20lbs befoer banding. I have lost 10lbs since banding and am looking forward to continuing to lose. I almost lost hope during the long days after the surgery with the water, but am finally feeling like a human being again. I am so excited to find this site and hopefully make some friends who can share in similar journeys. :bounce::banana

Hi I just got my band on last Wednesday 10/24. Had a rough go with the water over the weekend, but got to have a shake today. I feel so much better today even having a shake and a vitamin. Can't wait to start my soft foods though. I :clap2::clap2:Keep dreaming about Sushi!

I was really expecting to feel better after the surgery, but It has been 4 days and I still feel less than human. I am also having a pain in the middle of my chest. Did anyone else have this, should I be worried?
