I agree. 31 lbs is great. Plus 5 lbs in 2 weeks is also good. 2-3 lbs a week is healthy. You are doing great.

That sounds delish.... I had a pot pie without the crust.

It is, haven't been there in almost 4 years. I know it is sad, we drove through Biloxi last time I was in Mobile and it looked like it was hit by an atomic bomb. It broke my heart.

Welcome! Don't forget to add your names and dates of surgery on our list ( look back in the thread and you will find it, Copy and paste). Take care!:biggrin:

I'm really not sure. I was real gassy and I think that made me nauseated.

I miss Gulf Shores and Orange Beach as well, from Mobile, Alabama, lived there for 19 years.

Goodmorning everyone. I am feeling better today. Yesterday I was really nauseated for the first time, so I stuck to liquids yesterday and feel better today, will start again today with soft foods and see how it goes. How is everyone that was banded the first week doing? How is everyone else?

It's a lot better. I still get bloated in the evenings sometimes but the swelling is gone. I think it took a little over a week to go all the way down.

I was up and about the same day. You just have to take it easy but you need to walk, walk, walk, for two reasons: you don't want a DVT and it helps the gas pains.

That's great. Good luck!

Plus I miss Mardi Gras, Mobile or New Orleans.

Hey I grew up in Mobile, Alabama and also love New Orleans. Would live there if I could get hubby to live there. New Orleans is my favorite city.

Yeah I know! I have seen her videos. She is truly an inspiration.

Good morning all! Hello to all the new bandsters and goodluck to the ones going in today!

Thanks alot! I like my glasses as well!

Good luck Michelle!

Congrats! It will get easier!

Good luck today!

Congrats! Happy that you are home and doing well.

Good luck today!

I just wanted to say goodluck to everyone tomorrow!

Congratulations!

Posted some new pics for my two weeks post-op. New glasses and new hair style.
