I had the band put on, on November 9th and went back today for my 3 week visit, I have lost 18 lbs so far since banding, thank god I was told I can have puree now I am so tired of Protein Shakes it is not even funny...but puree is also kind of nasty.I am still vey happy though that I got banded this thing will be my best thing I have ever done for myself.

Today's day 8 for me and I'm feeling fine. No pain at all, but I've really been careful. Really hungry all the time. I had some egg drop Soup today that was the most wonderful thing I've ever eaten!! Get out there, liquid-phasers, and get you some egg drop!!

Im only 2 days out, havent lost anything except comfort!!! Of course Im on Clear Liquids, and I sat down with a pomagranate and took the time to suck the juice from each little seed.. I thinks its tedious (sp) but I feel like Im eating at a smorgasbord(sp again) I have so much GAS when does that let up? My Jr Hi boys think its great that mama Farts! I usually get all over thier cases when they burp or fluff, Humble pie doesnt taste very good.

Day 14, and I start mushies today.

I had a 4 ounce cottage cheese for Breakfast, and it took me almost an hour to eat it.

Believe it or not, I actually feel full!

I'm looking forward to some mashed potatoes that I froze on Turkey Day. My aunt makes them like a twice-baked potato, without the skins. Yummy.

My port still hurts when I stretch, or try to bend over too much, but overall, I feel great.

I didn't think it was working, because I feel like I've been eating so much. I guess it's doing it's thing.

Hi, I just got banded on the 30th. I am gassy but doing well just trying to keep liquids going in so I do not get dehydrated. Feeling some pain on my left side and of course it is hard sleeping, but so far so good.

OK. I don't know what is going on, I am eating, but it's still dropping off. I'm down another 6 lbs.

42 total (17 before surgery, and 25 since the surgery). I was just banded on the 17th of November, and my pants are falling off.

To quote Keanu Reeves... "whoa"

I am on Day 4 and seem to be doing great. I have not been sick and am not getting hungry with the liquid diet. I haven't weighed yet so I don't know if I am down any weight.

I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to hear from you.

Will someone tell me how to add a ticker?

I was banded on Nov. 29th. I had major nausea for two days, but finally passed. Feeling alot better now, except for the gas. This too shall pass! (Pun intended) :laugh :laugh :laugh
