I was just banded two days ago and boy is it strange not to have a little taste of the food i'm making for my daughter! Even making pasta and normally I'll taste a piece to see if its al dente... i took it up to my mouth and went "what are you doing!" So, yeah, big adjustment, but one of the reasons i'm on line at 3:30am is because I can't stop thinking about how great i'm going to look getting back into my bikini!!! :wub:

I'm a very new bandster - just two days - but I haven't needed any pain medication and haven't had any pain in the shoulders as I was told could happen.

I was just banded March 20th, and yes, I'm up two pounds also... but I have the ketone strips that show whether you are in ketosis or not and I peed on one this morning and I was REALLY burning fat, so i was happy with that. plus, i have a scale that also shows your body fat percentage, and that number has been going down. If you are like me that likes to weigh myself every morning, then get yourself a scale that measures your body fat percentage - that number is way more important that your weight in general.
