Hi Brenda! I'm feeling pretty good, about the same as you! I also hate broth and I'm getting sick and tired of the sweetener aftertaste. I'm also having a heck of a time falling to sleep at night. *sigh* I hope that one goes away soon!

hi everyone i live in europe (holland)

i am the mother of 5 age 19 16 12 7 11month.i was banded last friday and feel great so far,the only thing that am having problem with is this idea of fluids for the frist two weeks,can any of u give me some idea on what to eat

ps i am new at this

I was banded on the 28th and just got home from Tijuana, Mexico. The pain is bothering me and I am not complaining. I just hope it doesn't last for more than a week or two.

I'm on my first week of clear fluids. I've been mostly eating jello, chicken broth and cranberry juice. Next week will be my home made juices with a Norwalk Juicer. Can hardly wait to graduate to fish

hi Daqui26 how long have u been banded? what did u eat after 10 days..

hello i got banded june 3rd .Having a hard time mentally not be able to put anything in mouth is very hard to overcome.please tell me its going to get easier

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say I am enjoying hearing everyone's experience! I am @ 9 days banded and starving*** Had my (1 week)follow-up Dr. Ganta and said I would be hungry but this is crazy. Are of you guys having the same? What portion sizes are you having? How often are you eating? I am having almost no pain at all now except for 1 stitch that is sticking out , hope it goes away soon. Please reply I am curious to know how everyone is feeling.

Brenda

Congrats! I am glad that you have a good support person there with you in your husband's absence. He will certainly be thrilled the next time he sees you! This was definitely a good place to post your introduction. I have received so many good pieces of advice and was able to find the answers to most of my questions here. Good luck to you, and I hope you are successful in your journey!

I am very inspired by your results. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday. My biggest fear is that this will be like all my other attempts to lose weight that ended in failure. Thanks for sharing your journey!
