I was banded may 4th so I am about 9 days post opp. Doing pretty good I think, still sore in the am but overall the piano is pretty much gone. Tomorrow I can start on mushy food! Yay! Can't really think of what to eat and I can't find my paper work from the nutritionist ... Any ideas besides mashed potatoes and thicker Soups?

My incisions look kind of funny... I really hope they heal well, one is like an inch long does everyone else have that?

I had plication too and I don't feel

Hungry at all! I do get light headed though as if I was hungry... I guess it's my body adjusting?

I need to walk more and drink more Water, I'm finally starting to feel like myself again do looking forward to getting on a routine this week.

My stomach growls and gurgles a lot! All day! Not sure what that's about lol

Good luck to the rest of the May bandsters! Glad we have each other!

Well, I'm up this mooring and getting ready to go to the hospital. I'm not nervous right now, I'm so tired I'm ready to go back to sleep. I have benn a ball of nerves though up until now, ready as I'm going to be. So long waiting for this and it is about to be over in a flash, but then I'll be just beginning. So excited for the change I've been looking for.

@bbbanded Congrats!

All of you getting banded today, wish you all the best! Come on here as soon as you feel up to it and let us know how you're doing. xo

I have a question about my incisions for those of you who have been banded... I have 5 (I thought there would be 4) and each one is a different size' date=' one is about an inch long, the others a half inch or smaller, is that normal? I never thought I would have one that big?? I was told I wouldn't have any scaring but I'm pretty sure that big one will leave a scar... Just want to make sure I'm not the only one??[/quote']

My largest incision is a lot bigger than I expected too! I think this is normal though. It fits in nicely with my stretch marks. Lol!

I am doing well on my liquid diet so far. I have lost about 16 lbs since the 3rd. I'm feeling like I need more to eat but for the most part I'm not hungry n I'm eating all I'm allowed to have. I really hate the Protein drinks, waiting on new ones to arrive. Getting nervous tho. Bloodwork Wednesday, weighing Thursday, n Friday is the big day! Wish me luck....

Not eating all I'm allowed. Sometimes I can't type. Lol oh and I've not cheated once.

It's really nice to hear someone tell you if anyone can do it you can. My husband has a lot of faith in me n I'm so blessed to have him.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
