Hello everyone...I was just banded on Monday 11/20 and have had a rough few days...Mainly because of the gas pains...I havent been able to sleep, get comfortable, or get much of anything down...Today is Thanksgiving and my whole family is here we are having like 22 people....Now I didnt think it would bother me that I couldnt eat because I feel like crap anyways and thought that would be the last thing on my mind but its not...I just want a damn stuffed mushroom or a piece of pie...Everyone is at the dinner table pigging out and I am just sitting here feeling lonely and in pain....I guess I j ust hope this is all worth it in the end....And advice to get me through would help thanks...

Wow, you're so lucky ApinkSoporano, look at all the people here who care about you and know what you're going through. The day is almost over and you're gonna make it.

Hugs and congratulations on your band.

(Towards the end of my second week, don't tell anyone, but I use to stand over the sink and chew really soft foods, then spit it out..shhhhhh)

I just wanted to say thanks for eveyrone who posted to my ad....My family has been very very supportive of me and all 22 people here yesterday knew what I was going through BUT you guys were the ones who helped me get through the day and I just want to send out big hugs and kisses to all of you....I finally went to sleep last night and woke up this moring got on the scale and guess what? I WAS DOWN A TOTAL OF 10 LBS.....So it was worth the grief of yesterday....Thanks again everyone....Until Christmas, hahahha
