agree 100%. mine looks funny, unfortunately.

What solids are you adding in? I was banded the same day but am supposed to stay on liquids for 14 days ... meaning no food (not even mushies) until next Monday! (That thought makes me want to cry). Anyways, I'm healing well and I'm handling all my thick liquids really well so I want to start trying mushies (slowly of course). I still dont have an appetite, so I'd be having just a few bits of soft food, not enough to hurt. Let me know which work for you & congrats for moving on in your diet phase! lol

Side note ... The hangover is on tv right now And I'm going to have to change the channel to avoid the pain haha

Hang in there! I'm 5 days post op and can finally get a semi decent laugh in without doubling over or losing my breath. Last night turned into family fun night -- and with a family as crazy as mine, I felt like my stomach was going to explode. Laughing is almost unavoidable, especially since you usually laugh twice as hard if you're trying not to laugh at all. Pleasure pains!! They'll go away soon. Until then you could hang around some boring people :)

I had my surgery on the ninth and have lost 12 so far. I thought it was weird too. I think it's just Water weight. I know I need to be eating more but havent really had the appetite yet. I'm preparing myself for the numbers to start slowing down when I move onto the mushy foods stage, but I'm enjoying my weigh-ins while it lasts

I literally get nauseous when I think of or smell a Protein shake. I'm 5 days in post-op and have 10 more to go until I can move on the the full liquids phase. Is there a protein pill or something that I can drop in a normal drink or Water? I know it sounds crazy but I'd rather drink water all day and know I'm getting the right nutrients than to drink another Protein Shake -- yuckkkk. Thanks everyone! Loving August rush and all of your help!

I'm back!!! Thanks for your well wishes. The surgery went went. I'm just excited now to drink something besides crushed ice. Definitely going through the soreness and gas pains that you guys are talking about -- how long does it take for those to go away? I'm freaked out because I start classes on Monday and I hope I'm not miserable. What kind of Protein shakes are yall drinking? whey?

Hey Ladies! I'm 22 and getting banded ... tomorrow!! My excitement right now is to mask my semi-anxiousness, haha. Anyways, you all seem like you're doing great since surgery so I wanted to say congratulations and hey. Hopefully I can keep motivated with yall. Any updates? p.s. Just realized that my last food for at least a month was a pretty indecent piece of salmon. Not a perfect last meal but I'll take it ... after all, tomorrow starts an amazing journey

Hey! I'm getting banded tomorrow. Its just a few months before you but I'd love to keep in touch and be of some support. I'm 22 too. Good luck! Itll be so exciting when you get your surgery date

I'm having it next Wednesday, but I'm so scared. Has anyone else gotten the SILS done? Mine will be done through my belly button and its freaking me out.
