Hello chaps hope everyone who has had surgery so far this month is doing wlel. I had my band fitted on Thursday 3rd June and cant believe how easy the process has been. Ive had very little gas (oh you wont believe it just as I typed that my tummy made the most loudest rumble) Only used pain killers the first day, scars have scabbed over and I am sleeping quite well. Now managing to sleep on my side for a little while, and I only feel as if I have done 100 sit ups instead of 1000! Stocked up on Soups and yoghurts, bought myself a decent blender so if I come across any soups or yoghurts with bits Im just blitzing them until they are super smoothe. Finding it difficult to take in 1000 cals per day so am bulking up on Complan which has around 250 cals a serving. Taking and A-Z multi Vitamin daily. Going to post some pictures once I remove the dressing from my port wound. managing to do most chores making beds, cooking etc. Not to good with the hoover yet but improving every day. Went out in the car yesterday no probs with seat belt just a bit of a twinge getting in and out. Can now get up out of chair without any pain at all. Great start for me feeling really positive and upbeat. So hard to keep off the scales but I have promised myself a once a week weigh in

Hi I was banded on the 3rd June and was told not to eat anything but fluids for my first two weeks after surgery. I dont think you should be eating any solids

Oh how I wish it was Friday! Big day 2morro being picked up at 5am for my surgery I AM GETTING A WEE BIT NERVOUS :confused: Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me x

Hi Sue congrats on your band! I live in Scotland and my band is being fitted 2morro! I am getting a bit nervous :confused: Where did you have your surgery? Most important questions, did it hurt?????

Lets make one big photo journal !

Hello fellow June Bandsters IT WONT BE LONG NOW!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone up for listing photos where we all take the same shots? I find it a bit frustrating when photos are put up and you cant really see peoples true shape before surgery. Not that Im asking you to go naked or anything! We are in this together RIGHT? We all need as much support as possible RIGHT? We all need to learn as much as possible to make the journey troublesome free RIGHT? We all need encouragement RIGHT? We all need a shoulder to cry on RIGHT? So I was thinking why not make June 2010 Bandsters unique! We could all document our befores and after photos in a standard format? Anyone up for it?

Congrats Colletta, its just the most amazing thing dont you think?????????? I cant begin to tell you how liberating it feels to know that once the weight has gone its not going to come back! 3rd June for me it cant come quick enough!

Sussie thanks for the pointer! How are you getting on with your band? 11lbs great going :scared2:

Hello fellow Junesters! My band is being fitted on the 3rd June :biggrin: I am so excited KNOWING that I am going to loose weight but more importantly knowing that I am going to KEEP IT OFF FOR GOOD!!!! I feel totally liberated. I thought I'd be having a final blast with food in my lead up to my surgery, however quite the opposite has happened, I'm actually eating much less than usual. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am going on holiday next week so it will be interesting to see how I get on. My last time on a plane praying that I don't have to use an extention belt! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sandi thank you so much for responding to my posting. Your blog is fantastic! I am being banded on the 3rd of June and like you wish I had made the decision years ago! I will be in touch, many thanks Donna

Hello everyone I live in the United Kingdom and am delighted to have found this site. I am going to be banded on the 3rd June 2010 and need a mentor to lean on! Although I am soooo excited I have a million questions racing through my head :thumbup: Please shout if you are willing to take on the burden :thumbup:
