Hi y'all. I am thrilled I found this site. I tried to join a few days ago but it kept telling me that lapbandtalk.com did not exist. Well here it is. Anyway, I'm not sure I'm doing well! LOL. I've yet to fill full, and often I do feel hungry. I'm having shakes and a few other things that i blend with soy Protein. I am still swollen from the IV fluids. I've been getting up and walking around. I did a 12 minute walk after Breakfast, a 20 minute walk after lunch, and I guess now I'm going to 10 more minutes before laying down. My nose is very stuffy too... has made it very hard to sleep last night. I'm hoping tonight will be better. I think I'm also having nightmares from the pain meds, but I am still too sore to drop those. Any advice from you pros? Looking forward to getting to know y'all.

Hi, I was banded yesterday. I can't believe I finally found this board. I met two ladies, Diane and Donna at a support group meeting and now I'm wondering how they are doing. Signgirl and Donnajade... Hope to catch up with you. I'm feeling a little sore... very gassy, and kind of hungry at times. But So far so good. If I hadn't been shown the band on the ultra sound during the swallow test, I wouldn't believe I'd even had surgery. Looking forward to getting to know y'all!
