Hi, this is my first post. I was banded 3 days ago.

Thanks, I'm doing well. I saw the doctor last tuesday and he said I move to stage 3 on the 18th. I am having no trouble swallowing or drinking. Do have a lot of gas though. So far I have lost 30 lbs. I not really sure how to work on this site. People have charts and all... I had surgery on a wednesday and went back to work on Monday even though I was still sore. I am having trouble getting all the Water in though. Where are you in this process?

Sorry, I haven't been on. Yes, the gas can be very painful. I found a cup herbal seems to help.

I am justing starting on the site. I was banded on March 4th. I lost 20lbs pre op and now just can't wait to see how this is all going to work.

I am on clears also, jello, and protien drinks mostly. I am using something pre mixed made by EAS. I lost 20 pre op. Doctor said if I was really hungry, I could move to stage 2 today. Tonight I might have some farina with cinnamon. If you are having soup you can have farina and yogart. all sugar free of course. Last night my husband got me sweet and sour soup (just the thicken broth, nothing in it) from a chineese restaurant. It was good to have something that wasn't sweet.

Debbie_7155, congrats on your 51 lb loss. Is that a long time between surgery and a fill? what is working for you?

I was banded on the 4th also. I am feeling pretty good today. Went out for a mani/pedi.

I was banded the day after yopu, March 4th. I am still sore. I can't imagine starting at the gym Monday. I have a lot of calf pain. Do you? My doctor said I could move to farina and cream soup tomorrow. Can't wait.

Thanks, I was just banded 3/4. This will be a great tool.
