Hippiemama

Glad your doing well, Dandy!

Yea or nay? I have cream soups on my list for tomorrow..but I am a bit nervous to have them. I am, however craving them, so..any tips? Do I have to strain/dilute them? I know I have to take the chunks out..

I was banded a day after you..still on clear fluids though!

Your my twin! I was banded the same day I'm still on clear fluids though.

How are you feeling? Just wondering how many of us are out there

Thanks Wendy...heres hoping we heal asap!

When were you banded? Weird the things we crave, eh?

Dang you guys, I am so jealous of your burping abilities! Mine just sits there...what I would give to "express" myself..lol.

I'm 3 days post-op and just started starving today. I'd kill for a ritz cracker. Isn't that a weird thing to crave??

Ahhh, light at the end of the tunnel, eh?

I'm doing a bit better, thanks..it's so weird, I feel like everything is such a bigger deal then it is, kwim? I felt terrible last night, like bawling all night. How are you doing? I looked at your pics, btw, your so pretty!!

You look awesome! I love the sign, too cute!

No problem, I really didn't mean to sound upset at all, hey we are both April Avengers, gotta stick together Thanks Pearly!

Thanks again everyone for your responses, I think I am just being a bit of a worry wart today!

Yeah, it sort of feels like a "kicked in the ribs" type of pain.

Oh dear! I wasn't being sarcastic at all! I'm so sorry if it sounded that way! I appreciate all the feedback :wink2:

Really?? It says on my sheet that it's normal for it to hurt, I just wasn't sure for how long. I'll call just to make sure, thanks!

Holy cow Josh! You look FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your success!!!

Welcome! My surgeon's fill schedule for me is at 5 weeks (post-op), 7 weeks, and 9 weeks, and whenever I want after that (as often as 2 weeks apart).

Hi All I am on day three post-op and have been taking lots of deep breaths to clear out the old lungs...I'm wondering when it will stop hurting and being such an effort? I am paranoid I have a collapsed lung or something..lol.

Thank goodness I found this thread...I feel like I am postpartum right now with all these mood swings. Glad I'm not alone.

Welcome! I was banded on April 25th also! Where were you done?

Woohoo, I made it through all 8 pages of this thread! Now I feel like I know you all :huh2: I was banded April 25th at TLBC in Toronto. Today is day 2 post op..I'm doing pretty good. Pretty sore, of course, but not too bad hunger wise. Just sipping and walking! And trying to keep my 4 little ones off of Mommy..lol.

Everything will be ok, hon. Seriously. There is nothing worse then feeling anxious. Do you normally have episodes of panic or anxiety attacks like this? (((huge hug))) When you are feeling anxious, take deeeep breaths, all the way to the bottom of your lungs. It will help to calm you. And stay away from any negative threads in regards to the band. Only read the success stories and postive things for now. Everything is just fine :huh2:

Wow, you look awesome, great post.
