^{My surgery was 13 days ago and I'm feeling back to normal. I go back to work on Thursday! I get my first fill on Valentines day (funny huh)}

@beckeeboo25 when did you feel back to normal? I was just banded on yesterday.

To those asking I was banded on Jan. 2nd and feel great. I am 3 weeks out tomorrow n felt back to normal on day 7. I had a huge appetite on that day n thank God the doc okayed me for blended food cause the Protein was a big help. He told me on that day to start exercising n to drink lots of Water. I have not got a fill yet n have been eating about 1 cup of food 3-4 Times a day. I feel pretty satisfied for the most part. Just been trying to learn to eat between 20-30 min.

I really started feeling better around day 10. The first week I stayed on the pain meds and slept a lot! Once I got off the meds and moving around, I started feeling like myself again! Hang in there, you will feel yourself in no time

I just got home. Surgery was a success I did have a hernia they had to repair. Dont know how I got that. Ive been walking but im sooo tired from not having anything. I hit my goal of 50 lbs lost before surgery. I know have 65 to go to reach my goal of 154. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm officially a bandster! Surgery was great but too much 'happy juice' so I slept almost all day. Walked to get rid of gas and it worked! Thanks to all for your posts...it really helped to know what to expect.
