We're officially bandsters! Hi Terri, glad you're doing good! I'm good, have been up walking, only slight pain in left shoulder. They've given me morphine for pain but boy does it knock me out, have slept on and off most of the day. I was surprised that I had a hiatal hernia he repaired. But doing good, glad its over!

Great job ladies! Glad your surgeries went well!

Steph how are you doing?

I had surgery on March 20, and am on full liquids now. I don't have any fill yet but I feel pretty restricted--from swelling I guess. So excited to see how much of this weight I can get rid of.

Start weight: 255

Goal weight: 150

Okay........time for me jump in here. I have viewed posts off and on but remained in the background. My surgery was March 23rd. Pretty sore, but excited to move forward on this journey.

Steph how are you doing?

I am doing well as of day three post op, I went from slight pain to just soreness. Still having gas pains, even though I've been moving a lot. I have been using a heating pad and taking gas chewables, but not sure if they've actually helped.

am able to get a protein shake, soups, and sf pudding down. Still struggling to hit 64+oz water.
