So many questions. 1. Are there foods you liked before but now cannot eat- do they taste different. 2. Do you watch every calorie you intake? Still? Is this easier to maintain than before? 3. Did you tell people you were having surgery - friends, coworkers? I said I had wisdom teeth pulled. My kids (teens) think I am a failure at will power as I have tried every diet. So far, this bad has not been easy and I don't expect easy.

Not so much painy any longer but the first two days were rough. Were you bloated for a while. Does this go down. I imagine there is swelling also. :thumbup:

Berry, I had the exact same reaction. Was banded 4 days ago. It hurt and I wondered why I paid for this as I was totally healthy, just plump.:thumbup: Let's keep in touch.

Hi I'm Carol in Texas. I would love to share emails so we can keep together with our March Banding. Its been 4 days. I am nervous but excited. How about you? I hear so many success stories. For those of you who just had this. Are you bloated and swollen still?

Cindy. Hi I am Carol. I was banded four days ago. You really had no pain...I did and I'll admit I am a baby when it comes to pain. I had not had surgery before. I went to work today. It was a long day. Are you bloated? I wonder how long this lasts.

Oh my gosh do I have questions. I was banded 5 days ago. Please give me advice on these first few days. I am so bloated. When does this go away. I couldn't believe the pain but I went to work today ...long day.

Hi I was banded last Thuirsday the 18th. I have not had any reaction to sweets...yet. This is so new. However, please help. My post-op paperwork says liquids and then something about 1/2 to 1/4 cup 3 times a day. What are you eating these days?:biggrin2:
