Spoke too soon' date=' feeling the gas trapped now...guess the pain meds were masking it. Just got all my scripts so I'll be good as soon as they kick in. Just enjoyed a pop cycle. Yum![/quote']

Congrats... Get some rest praying for a speedy recovery!

Congrats Jackie! The first few days are rough but it gets so much better. Hang in there

Everyone will be sexy and slim. You already are beautiful. Pat yourself on the shoulder for taking this step for your life, I know I did. Good luck for all that are banded already and who are waiting surgery.

So glad to see that almost all of the May bandsters who have had their surgery are doing well!! I cant wait until we are all on the Post op side!!

Hi everyone, My name is Kathy and I'm a newbie to this site but just received word this a.m. (5/15/12) that my surgery is scheduled for May 22. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I'm so ready. My cousin had lapband done a year ago in April so she has been a big help to me but would really appreciate words of encouragement and support through this from some others and will offer the same especially since we all have the same goals for weight loss.

congrats Kathy

The May banders is a great bunch of people and everyone is very sopportive of every one. We also have a group called the May blooming banders if you would like to join jump on in. You may add your surgery date also. If you have any problems just let me know.

8 days post op and now on full liquids. Wondering if I can have broccoli and cheddar soup from panera bread? Anyone know

I don't believe so, Your soups are all suppose to be 98 fat free and I really don't believe that Panera is selling fat free soups.

For all the New May banders, Welcome! Sorry I have not been on a bunch. But been very busy since my surgery (5-2-12). My mother just had surgery today and my mother in law is in the hospital. So Hopefully things are starting to slow down and I'll have more time for all my new best friends "The May Banders". We also have a group called the May Blooming Bandsters. If you would like to join we would love to have you! If you have any problems joining let me know and I will send you an invite. You may also add your surgery to our calendar there or let me know and I will add you to the May bander calandar. As most of you are finding out that the May banders are a group of great people. Please come JOin in all the support and love we give to each other. Let go a journey together!

Mdfinch could you send me a invite to may blooming bandsters. I'm having problems finding it. Thanks

Hi everyone! only 3 more days for me! Friday 18th getting excited but scared. Glad to see so many on line same day! Good drugs or not as bad as I am thinking!

Prayers sent to all the Wednesday banders and welcome to all the newbies!!!!
