I was banded this morning and back to day surgery room by 10am. Sipping water very slowly. Gas is very minimal and dissapates when I walk/move my arms. Do need the pain meds at times and they really help. No food until noon tomorrow. Probably greek yogurt as pureered eggs just does not sit will with me. Maybe that will change. Still pretty weak. Walked through grocery story with hubby and was a bit too much. First step over.

Glad it went well. Welcome to Bandland!

Congratulations!! You are now on your way. I have not been banded long, but it seems to be getting easier and easier. Good Luck!

Glad i.t went well. Welcome to Bandland!

HI Cathy, I am wondering if you can tell me where I can locate and download the weight ticker. Also, and I know it's been a while now, but how do you eat one tiny bite every 2mins. and get enough food in 45 mins. Thank you for any help. Thank you too for having me as one of your lap buddies!

I have a lot of trouble getting my protein and my Water, so I am probably not the best one to ask . Although, since I have been on mushies this week it has gotten so much easier.

Congrats! So glad your surgery went well. Mine is Tuesday morning Sept. 6 at 7 AM.

Best of luck to you! I think we had the same doctor band us. I am doing well, and I know you will, too. Just follow the rules and enjoy the journey.
