What kind of diet does your doctor have you on? I am on liquids but I think I need to find some protein!!! I feel great and am doing good so far! Kim (NJ) Banded August 13th

Thanks for the advice. I did take a pain pill before going to bed and although I still didn't sleep the night I am glad I took it. So far still so good though...Just tired today, still not pain :thumbup: After 3 c-sections nothing can compare to that pain!!!

Don't be afraid! Do your research and don't make a decision until you are absolutely ready to do it. I first went to seminars in November 2008, but was just banded today! I chickened out at first and decided to try one last time to do it on my own, but failed and gained more weight. I went into today not nervous at all, infact I couldn't wait for it to happen! Surgery was quite easy - the toughest part for me was the IV being placed because I have small veins. I am 11 hours post surgery in no pain just some discomfort. I haven't needed any pain meds at all. I am doing good with the liquids - but am starting to really feel the hunger pains right now, but I'll make it through! GOOD LUCK and if you have any questions just ask! Kim from NJ Banded today August 13th Starting weight 301 pounds Goal weight - don't have any long term goals other than being comfortable and being able to run and play with my 3 beautiful children!
