I'm now officially post op, yay! Surgery went well, just very sore especially the gas pain in my shoulder. Moving around and gas x strips def help! I'm totally looking forward to a mushy diet starting tomorrow, a week of liquids pre op was exhausting but it made me lose ten pounds! I want to do everything exactly right so I lose the maximum weight that I can, I would love any advice anyone can offer?! Thanks!

Hello! I was banded today as well and doing a lot better than I thought I would. Just pain and a headache. Finished pre-op diet and till on liquids with more options than just optifast shakes. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congrats to you both!

i also got banded today. wish u luck.

Congrats to all of you. Drink a little at a time, often! Walk small amounts, as often as you can! Follow your doctor's post op diet! Drink to stay hydrated and walk to keep the gas pain down. Don't worry about weight loss for the first month as your body is healing. It will be slow, but steady if you stay on track. Everyone has a little different program and everyone loses at a different rate so don't compare yourself to others. Listen to your dr and NUT and ask a lot of questions!

enjoy day one of the best part of your life!
