I will also be banded on March 15th. I was suppost to be banded on the 1st, but I got the flu and had to change it to the 15th, I restarted my liquid diet today. Was on the liquid diet for 11 days and the Dr. told me since I had to change my date to get off it and restart it the 4th.:smile2: I am so ready

I am 3 days post op and feel like a million dollars.

March 9th was my surgery date. Lost 18 lbs to date. Started eating some meat in the last few days. And I have seemed to stall. Walking 3 to 5 days a week. (when not raining) Having problem with head hunger. Gas not as bad now. Hicups when I eat too fast. I don't feel restriction at all. Lost 10 inches too. Looking forward to my first fill to have restriction.:frown:

Hi,

I had my band on March 15th, the first week (lost 7 lbs.) went well other than gas and shoulder pain. I still have some bruising that is a little sore. I have struggled since the first week to lose weight though. I got really hungry at the end of the first week. I lost about 1.5- 2lbs. the second week, which is also when I started adding some soft foods. However, I have gained 2 lbs back and am teetering back and forth with those 2lbs. I can't eat nearly what I used to eat and seems that minimally I should be losing 2-3 lbs. a week with that fact alone. I am walking more, and building the distance up slowly. Please let me know what you found helpful until your first fills. Mine is not until April 26th, that seems so far away.

Hi, just got banded April 2nd and can't seem to lie down to sleep, i feel air restriction is this normal?

Debeli,

Laying down was a little difficult for me, too. The gas in my shoulders was bad for the first week, but it did go away after that. I don't remember having any air restriction though.
