1. Hi, Im ebonymc. I read one of your threads and was wondering, were you banded on the 4th? so was I. and i have now lost 18.5 lbs. It also sounds as if we both had the same problem with gas. let me hear from you soon. Thanks, Ebonymc
   

hey, how is it going? Im doing better and feeling much stronger now days. I have one more week before moving on to mushies. I know, My doc is having his patients do liquids for 4 weeks post. I am soooo ready to eat because I still have no restriction yet. what about you? we will talk later.

Hi, thanks for checking on me. Im doing ok. I got a little depressed one day but i kept my spirits up and havent looked back on that day. Staying positive. How about you? How are you doing? Im still on liquids hopefuly for only 2 more days untill my doc appt.

thanks for your comment on "the haters" You are right, it is about me and trying to get healthy. Im still hoping I made the right choice. Im still on liquids and having a time with being tired,sleepy and low energy. Im only 12 days out and hoping this gets better. If I told my coworker at this point that I had the surgery, she would only make me feel worse by saying negative things. But as I get over this early stage, and I have confidence in my choice, I will tell her and flaunt it down the hall. THANKS!!

Hi, thanks for the invite. I visited your site and it is nice. I tried to send a response but I clicked the wrong thing and it wouldn't submit. Ill post again later. what I basically said was "YES, I am feeling better. most of the gas is going away and thanks to gasx, v8, and very warm water. today was my 1st day back to work. it was very laid back so I was fine. I hope you continue to do well with your journey. You are motivating me to hurry up and get over these early days of hell...LOL... I am still a little sore too, and still getting bloated after eating (or should I say drinking). But it's getting better everyday. Im just afraid that Im not getting the proper nutrition. keep me posted on what your eating, we're in the same stage.

thanks, I am doing more waqlking now and my gas pains today has been very mild. I think mybe my system is catching up. I havent started to walk in the A.M. I should have been doing that earlier. Thanks!

hey, Im doing good. this gas is just hanging on long than I thought or hoped. how did you get rid of yours? anyway, you seem to be moving faster than I am because I wont get a fill untill after the first week in September. so far not getting hungery and Im slowly regaining my strength. I hope it all comes back soon beacause Im ready to get back my usual activities LOL.

Hi, I read your comment to bikecicny and I'm like you. Im still a little tired and low energy. I did manage to do laundry this morning, and I made myself stay out of the bed today. the gas is kicking my a--. really getting worse instead of better, and I still look pregnant. Hopefuly these will be the things we will remember when we talk about our starting journey. banded on 8-4 also. lets keep in touch!

I know what you mean about the gas. I am still miserable and also bored. the gas pain in my BACK, LEFT SIDE, and the occassional rising in my throat is unreal. I keep telling myself that mybe it'll get better tomorrow. going shopping for a new shirt sounds good. I'll ask my hubby to take me. I am still getting tired out easily, but I must remember, It haven't been a week yet. I meant to tell you about that pic I thought I was sendind, but forgot to add it as an attachment. Ill try again later.

Heng in my girlfriend, We did it! I had no problems and it does seem to get a little better each passing day. but the gas pain and reflux feeling in my throat is causing some discomfort. But not to complain, it will get better with time. How are you? Let me hear from you. my hubby,children and grand children are a big help and Im getting spoiled.

how are you doing? I have been a little sleepy the last couple of days but also up walking around and trying to deal with the liquids. Today I have been up more but im having a pain on my upper left side. I hope it's just gas that will soon move. Let me hear from you!!

Hi Tawanda, I hope to be where you are soon. Im getting banded in a couple of days, August 4th is my banding date. Am I nervous? Shaking in my boots. But I keep reminding myself of the main reason that Im doing this. and that is to better my health. I have type 2 diabetes and high B/P. for at least 12 years I've been on these meds and I feel the need to take control and try to get off of them. But if I start looking good along the way, then it's all good and I wont complain....LOL. I hope you read this message before my date and send me some tips and positive feedback. Thanks, and keep up the hard work.
