Congrats on your surgery. Believe me, I understand about the gas pains. I am finally able to expel gas and it feels soooo good...LOL!!! In a few weeks, you'll be in heaven. You'll be able to chew (which was the one thing I missed). I did alot of mashed potatoes and oatmeal for my mushies. I ordered the cans of food but ugh! Not very good at all but at least it was only for a week. Be patient, the best is yet to come!!!! Congrats again! We're on our way March Bandsters!!!!

Hey guys, I was banded on March 1st. Had mega pains for the first 5 to 6 days because they found a hernia and repaired it while they were attaching the band. I had gas pains for about 2 weeks....killer!!! I was on liquids for a week, then mushies for 1 week, soft foods for 1 week, and now I'm on regular foods. I get my first fill on March 29th and I'm excited. I've lost 10lbs since surgery (gained 3lbs right after surgery, lost those plus 10). I think my weight loss is going slower because I lost about 30lbs while waiting on my surgery to be approved. I did go to Pappadeauxs yesterday and had crab legs and raw oysters () with no problems. Yay!!!! Bring on the restrictions :w00t:. Tammy

I am March 1st too!!! I'm so excited. On liquid diet now. Everything's looking like a cheeseburger but I'm still excited. Going thru pre-op testing now. What about you?
