Couple days out now, got banded on Wednesday. I'm having pain but I can't really tell what's actually going on. I'm very sore, plus having incision pain, PLUS I'm still not sure what the band is supposed to feel like. My surgeon said he "put a bit in", so I know I would be feeling restriction if I was on solids, but I'm still on liquids for the next week.

What the heck is it supposed to feel like in there?

I've only had my band for three weeks now. I just wanted to tell you so you don't feel alone but I don't feel mine either

I'm pretty sure that is normal.

Congrats!! I think it's normal, I'm 12 days post op and my port is definitely my most sore incision...

I've been banded for 17 days now, and I still feel a bit of soreness around my big incision, which is where the port is located. Remember, that's where the doctor did most of the work, is through that incision, so it would be normal that it would be sore the most around that area. It does get better with time! I'm 20 lbs down, so it's all worth it.

Hang in there!

Hello to everyone else! :rolleyes:

Hey December banders!

Was just thinking how hapy I am I decided to get banded.

Sometimes at the end of the year I get bummed because I still struggle with my #1demon-weight!

Who else is happy? If you're happy and yoy know it give me a "like"!

I use the Unjury chicken broth. I found an organic French onion Soup at Walmart that if I just add 1/4 cup of that to the Unjury it tastes so much better. Also mixed it with some miso and wonton Soups from a local restaurant and like it. You might try something like that.

Oh! And I made it with 8oz of Water and then added the other Soups. Didn't use them as the base.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
