I admire you for setting small goals makes it more realistic. I was also banded on the 12th. Still having some gas pains issues in shoulder and incisions are still sore because i still have staples but over all im feeling alot better. Thanks for sharing how u set ur weight loss goals I think thats how Im gonna approach this as well. Good Luck to u and ur family

mine is alot better today but i am a lil hungry but we will be fine congrats to u as well.

Thanks for the info that helped alot i am starting to feel like myself again

Today so far is a better day pain in shoulder has eased up a great deal i slept with a heating pad on it all night. Have not had to take any pain meds so far not hungry yet did have coffee but dread drinking a protien drink, jello and broth sometime today. I have a doc appt tuesday i have about 10 staples so hopefully the will take these out and i can return to work this week. My breathing is getting better as well but still get a lil short winded but i do feel the progress.:cool:

I started feeling extremely hungry today, But I was told to stay on a clear liquid diet for two weeks and i was just banded on monday the 12th of July and then weeks 3 and 4 to mushy food then week 5 start solids slow but i am very hungry and sick of slimfast and all the other protein drinks and broth and jello. Also I still am suffering from gas pain sometimes is worse than others i have been passing alot of gas and today finally had a bowel movement actually several. I am still feeling a little winded sometime so i use the little breathing machine they have u use in the hospital. I dont regret my decision but Its not as smooth sailing as the advertisements made it seem but i am up for the challenge.:cool:

Feels good to know i have someone that is feeling my pain. sometimes the shoulder is really bad but sometimes its bearable but i am passing alot of gas so hopefully in a few days we both will be good.:sad:
