Good luck to everyone getting banded in the next couple of days! I was banded on Wed, and feel pretty good. I'm not running any marathons or anything, but taking everything a little slower so I can heal. Dealing a little bit with some nausea and gas pains, but other than that good!!

Congratulations!!! Im sure you will do fine!!! Im getting banded on Tuesday D

I am back at home now from surgery. It went very smoothly, but I have hernias that have probably been there since I had my twins. My dr said it was no big deal and he would repair them in 4-6 months. The pain really has not been bas at all. I wih all of you luck and hope that your surgery goes as well as mine did.

Good luck, Jennifer! I was banded Tuesday, and other than tired and some gas pain, going great. Keep us posted!

i became a BANDit on 5/9/11

I'm getting banded on Monday and am all ready and sooo excited. Love to hear all this positivity on how everyone is recuperating.

I was banded on Monday - started at 207, have followed the manual to a T and I am at 200.2 as of this morning. Keep drinking that flavored Water. The pain in my left shoulder was not something I expected, and I still feel a little weak - no way I can drive around yet in my car.

Can someone tell me how to get my ticker to work? I used Lilyslim but it isn't showing up

Congrats to you! What kind of flavored water do you drink?

Thank you!! I am very excited and if anyone can believe it or not - I started my journey when I saw the FDA approving the Lap Band for lower BMIs. I read up on it, did my research, and when I hit my all time high ever I contacted the surgeon.

My choice of flavored water is from Target - it is called Archer Farms and is the blackberry and also regular berry flavor. I tried the little "MIO" bottle where you can add the drops to your water and yougurt - that does not taste good in my view. I am also having sugar free popsicles (one a day). Today was my first day eating tuna with a little light mayo mixed in. I am allowed to drink 30 minutes before or after eating and no snacking in between.

Congrats to u readytoroll. I'm extremely happy for u! The weight is just falling off I see!!

So you were banded on Monday! How are you feeling? What favorite things are you eating....or should I say drinking?

Thank you for the reply. I will try the GNC powder. It costs less than the True Results brand.

Hi, Weesie, congrat on your date! I haven't use True Results Protein. How much is it? Do you like it? Is it liquid or powder?

I have used unjury powder, and also GNC powder. I got the Unjury on line for $18-20 each (16.2 oz each), plus $6 shipping for the three. So I guess that averages to about $21 each container. I got the GNC 100% whey Protein Powder (16 oz) at a GNC store in the mall. It was $22, but was buy one, get one half off. So that turned out cheaper than the Unjury...came to about $17 each. All of them taste great when blended with non-fat milk and ice. I also have put it in my coffee and like it. Just got to mix it alot.
