Hi everyone,

I just got banded on 7/22/04. Never thought I could do the liquid only phase, but I am on day 6 and going strong! Trying to get used to all the burps and gurgling, but I guess thats just HELLO restriction, huh? Would love to hear about where everyone is at with their banding. Hope everyone is in for the long haul, I can really use the support. Happy Banding!

Welcome Iluvsammys,

Congratulations on being banded! I am almost 4 weeks out from being banded and am very happy with the results! Everyone is very helpful, friendly and supportive here. Wishing you the best in bandland!

Darcy

Hi Tina and Iluvsammy,

Best of luck with your new banded life. I love my band and am thrilled I had it done. I am just under 11 weeks post op and doing fine. Down 46 lbs and counting. Keep in touch and come here often. We love having new people to chat with and share information. Teresa:D

Welcome! Glad to hear all is well with you and hoping to hear more about your journey.

I am now 4 days post op. Still on my clear/full liquid diet. I am not feeling as good as I expected, but I guess this will come with time. Today all I could think about is "what have I done" they say better days are coming. Keep us posted on your progress.

Jennifer I think we all thought like that 4 days post op..there defiantely is a grieving process, giving up food after so many years is like losing your best friend. I promise you it does get better when you can start back on solids and especially when you start losing and people are starting to noitce . Don't fret it does get better!

Each day gets easier
