Hi everyone! Well, I survived. I had surgery on Friday, 11/16. I ended up having to spend the night in the hospital because they removed my gallbladder at the same time. I came home yesterday, and am doing well. I do not have an appetite at all, I'm sure it's surgery related and not band related. I drank a Protein shake this morning (it took about 2 hours), so I was pretty proud of myself. Since then though, it's been sips of broth and Water. I am on a clear liquid diet minus the shake until Friday, when I'll be moved to full liquids. Aside from the gas pains, though, I've done well! Even went to wal-mart today with the hubby to walk.

Hope everyone is doing well! Talk again soon!

Just started this site today so nice to see people who can relate to this surgery. I have mine booked for December 17 I'm excited and nerves at the same time.

Welcome and congrats! I'm a few weeks ahead of you (10/5). Advise: follow the rules to a T. You are about to have a few weeks of challenges so just hang in there and don't doubt yourself!

Gas pain is absolutely the worse part! Hugs!
