I'm from one day earlier and today is great for me. My hard day was yesterday. My eyes were really dry and I had some portal pain. The whole recovery process has been much easier than when I had my gallbladder removed two years ago. I can't wait to get back to work Tuesday.

Hi guys - I am four days pre-op, and I feel great. Other than being a little sore around the stomach, I can eat just about anything. My biggest complaint is that I'm very swollen, and I'm up about ten pounds. Everyone but me in my surgical group was getting a gastric sleeve, but I'm happy with my decision. I just would've preferred to see results. It's been nice laying around this weekend. It has sort of given us permission to just read, rest, watch TV, whatever. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the monthly challenge. September is here and time to start working on Autumn/Fall activities. The Autumn Challenge is a fun way to keep track of your monthly weight loss while gaining and giving support to other bandsters.

Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Saturday September 1st the come back every Saturday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th and post your updated weight. I will keep track of the weights to get a table listing everyone's results on the following weekend.

Good luck to everyone and remember this isn't a contest it's a challenge and you are a winner no matter how much you lose.

The first three items are required all others are recommended, but the last one is the most fun. If you are new to our monthly challenger please leave a short introduction.

Doing well, Harleymelm. Banded Friday. Only issue has been CO 2 gas. Walking and using heating pad, hoping it subsides soon. Today first day of protein drinks. 30 minutes for 6 ounces, but not there yet. Day after tomorrow can add V-8 and thin soups. Wonder if Spicy Hot V-8 's ok. Love the stuff, warm or cold.

We all did it can't believe August is over

12 days Post op, feeling much better. Even exercising, still residual gas in my back at night and when I'm sitting in one spot all day at work. I can't wait until the gas issue is finally resolved!
