Banded June 17 2010 Yesterday was a little painful getting all the gas out. Woke up this morning feeling great lots of energy and looks like the swelling is starting to go down. Had a half bowl of cream of wheat and feel full. Suprised at the amount of energy I have. I actually want to get outside and do stuff. :thumbup:

I am scheduled for surgery this Thursday 17th June 2010. Have been on liquid diet for 5 days now. Really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Have lost 15 pounds since starting liquid diet and have not cheated (not that I didnt want to).
