    Thank you Mandilou- I'm sure you're right! After awhile of having the band, I can re-evaluate. I'm doing everything else to a T, so why risk that slippery slope.And yes, it WILL work if you work it.

Thanks Alli!

Welcome to BANDLAND ! ! !

:party:

Welcome! I am two weeks out and have felt great so far! Great recovery and I went to my two week appointment yesterday and have lost 23 lbs. I started out at 219.0 and am now at 196.0 Now mind you, I didn't have to go on a liquid diet until 1 day before surgery, but I made a llife style change about a month before surgery. I have lost 13 lbs since surgery. I haven't had energy for some reason since surgery. My port is still pretty sore. I guess this is normal. Since my liquid diet has been over, I want to eat and eat, but I am staying on a good path. I think its just because I there is no more swelling and I haven't had a fill yet. I refuse to gain that weight back! good luck!

Congrats!!! I was done on Tuesday so I am 3 days out. Little less sore each day!!! Can't wait till the swelling goes down so I don't feel so pregnant.

I totally understand that! I was so bloated yesterday from the gas, but I made myself up and walk the hallways at the hospital to move it through. Today, I think it's mostly gone because of it.

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you. I was banded a little over 2 weeks ago. I'm in the honeymoon phase still for sure. Hope all continues to go well for you :)

I got banded yesterday and went home same day. Feels like someone hit me in stomach. Can't seem to swallow much. So take things easy and sip small.
