Good luck with your diet. I think you will lose weight during this diet. I lost 9 pounds in one week doing this. You'll do just fine don't worry. Just stay focused. Food doesn't control you anymore. You control it.

Well, I'm going back to work tomorrow. I'm not to sure I'm ready to get back into the full swing of things, but I really don't have a choice. I was lucky to get the week off. I guess that's just how much they need me. lol. Anyway, I'm going prepared with Tylenol and heatpads for my back. I think I should be alright. Wish me luck.

Yes I am on full liquids. I really can't wait for soft food part of the diet. I have so many things in mind to eat. HA HA HA. My back still hurts, but I hope after the second week it will get better. I see my doctor on Wednesday, so I'll bring up the back pain issue and see what he says. Maybe it will shed some light on it for both of us.

Hey cyber world and banding friends. I'm now 4 days post op and can't wait to completely heal. I have gas that won't quit, but I have been making progress with that slowly. I still have an aggrevating gurgling in my stomach, but I think that will pass when I start making more bowel movements. I know....ewwwww sounds gross, but it's reality. Today I took my bandage off as my doctor had directed. I think the incision looks fantastic. I was really worried about scarring, but Dr. Kazcmarski and Dr. Gabriel did a great job. I'm back to work on Monday so wish me luck. I hope the back pain goes away too. Sleeping on my back is killing me.
