I made it!!! Like NurseKelly I got banded yesterday. Felt pretty crummy the whole day, today is much better - not good but better. The worst thing is it is very uncomfortable to sleep & I am soooo thirsty. Luckily my wife is taking care of me. Too good, she wont let me do anything.

I am doing the 4 oz 3 times a day I don't have to do liquids till Monday... This change isn't so bad... Thought I'd be hungrier but no it's actually been good.... How r you tolerating only liquid? ?? I feel better since changing diet I guess it's the excitement :) you will drop before surgery ur body is probably rebelling :)

Have you lost any weigh since surgery? I had surgery on the 8th of February. Eating tje same before surgery. Dr say no fills until I heal.

I'm banded!!! Everything went well but i did have a hiatal hernia so that was fixed. I'm feeling pretty good so far. I'm excited to be an official "bandster".

I am officially banded as of 4pm today as well. I felt a lot of pain right after but am now finding it a bit easier. Lets see how first night of sleep goes, and if I can deal with the gas pains a bit better tomorrow. I'm sure some might be hunger pains as well, but I'm just staying positive for long term success. Happy to be sharing this with all of you!

Hey all! I was banded February 20th! I had gas pains in my left shoulder and with the help of Gas-X strips, a heating pad and walking, the pains have been very manageable. Other than that, I have had minimal incision pain (but some itching) and zero problem getting down liquids and yogurt, etc. How is everyone else's first weeks going? Anyone back at the gym yet?

I hope to be under 300 lbs by the beginning of April!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
