Your post is so cute and you have a wonderful sense of humour...DON'T LOSE THAT! I was banded yesterday, but lost 12 pounds in 11 days on the protein shakes preop. You are doing great. A little sore today, but not so bad after the gas left within 24 hours. When is your banding date?

Good luck and keep posting if you can. We can learn from eachother as we go along.

Thanks for the compliment, but I didn't post a picture yet. When did you have your banding?

Are you sore in the upper part of your chest at all? My starting weight at preop ws 241 and lost 12 pounds on protein shakes. My BMI was 40 so I would like to loose 80 pounds. We got a long haul ahead of us and lots of learning too. Do you have good support behind you?

You must be my solar twin but I'm twice your age. I was banded yesterday MAY 1ST too. The pain in the shoulder is almost gone. A little uncomfortable but not a lot of pain. I had a hernia repaired as well so a little tight in the chest which I was warned. Are you drinking a lot of liquids? That's real important so that we don't get dehydrated. Good Luck
