First Off I am completly jealous of you :D , my date is May 12th. As for advice just breath your going to be ok try to sleep well and did you have to go on the liquid diet. Congratualtions on your "new life"

Good luck with everything. You're going to do great. Just keep your chin up, positive thoughts and follow your doctor's instructions. Also make sure you get up and walk because it does help with the gas.

Awe ty ty, Yes I did two weeks of liquid. I had to drink 4-5 Atkins shakes. My all time favs were the carmel coffee and the dark chocolate yum yum lol

Ty for the advice. How long before surgery did u start walking?

You're going to be fine! After the surgery, walk around as much as you can. Follow your doctor's orders to the letter and follow the post op meal plan carefully. Concentrate more on healing in the first few weeks and don't worry so much about weight loss. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I DID IT! I DID IT! Omg I'm banded......i feel......wow lol I'll write more ltr I feel like I'm going bk to sleep. Sry for short hand but I'm on my cell n I feel sleepy again lol

Hey there! I see we both got banded today(or yesterday, technically). Thanks for adding me as your friend! When you're feeling up to it, let me know how you're doing!

I've been having a pretty good amount of pain, mostly just from the gas and around my port I think. I have medication for it though, so it's manageable and getting up and walking really helps. I'm also having a little trouble sleeping, but that's nothing new for me! Lol. I fell asleep at around 7:30 PM and woke up around 11:30 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few more Z's.

Like I said, let me know how you're doing when you feel up to it! I hope everything is going well for you! :]

Ty for the advice. How long before surgery did u start walking?

I was up within 2 hours! Hope everything went well.

How is it going ???? I get banded on the 9th and am curious to know how the few days after will play out ?????

congrats !!!

Well so far so good. I burp, omg do I burp lol and it (my chest) hurts like a booger until I burp lol. I went to the movies yesterday and I think all the sitting on that chair hurt my port site it's been a bit tender but I'm ok. I try to drink a lot of water and walking helps. When I get hungry I drank my shake and sugar-free popsicles. NOW when I get hungry I'll drink juice. I'm ready to eat tho lol I want my mushies!
