Well I had my surgery on Thursday, still sore but it's improving a little each day. Only thing now is that I am on clear liquids and it is not filling me up at all! So miserable right now.

Im sorry to hear that. Well at least it is only a week right? I have heard that that frist week is different for a lot of prople. Some I have talked with have no desire to eat or drink, others have a hard time getting things down and then some say they are starving as you. I have not been banded yet but you have no restriction at all?

Congratulations being on the banded side!

That phase is one of the hardest things about LBS. Thats when you have to keep reminding yourself, how bad you want this to work.

Right now is "mind over matter".

You can do it

Congrats to u!

I was banded Wednesday

Yeah for being banded. As your doc about your Protein shakes! This will help you get through the liquid stage for sure. They did for me. And your right~ Everyday gets a little bit better then the last.

Cheers to the Bandland. And happy recovery.

No restriction yet. My dr will give me my first fill in 6 weeks.

Welcome to "Bandland"!!!

Hang in there... some people do feel restriction during the liquid stage... I did... you might once you start full fluids or mushies... don't get too stressed. It does get better.
