I am amazed that I am feeling so well! I have a headache, but I think that's from not eating. I can' t have any protein drinks until after I have my swallow test. My stomach is growling, but at least this day is almost over with.

Right now a protein drink is sounding GREAT!

just wanted to welcome you to bandster life!!!

I am excited! I am not in any pain at all. I hope the worse of it isn't on it's way. They said th 2nd day is worse butso far, it's not.

Thanks for the welcome. Everyone here is so nice!:):)

thanks again! Denise

Welcome Denise!!

I am going to be banded next week! I get really excited when I hear someone is banded and it goes so well.

Check out the January thread for support or the Lower BMI thread. They have made a huge difference for me with the support they have given!!

Welcome to bandland! :) :girl_hug:

Welcome all you new bandsters. Starting a new year. I am almost at goal but I get so excited when I see all of you just starting your new life.

Good luck to all of you.

My banding should take place in Feb. So it makes me feel real good to hear you are doing so well. kedasmom

It's day 3 now and I am stil feeling great. Just hungry. Those protein drinks don't take the hunger away for very long. I still haven't had any gas pains. I wonder if they are still on their way. Everyone has told me the gas pains are the worse part of the whole thing but I have no gas pains (yet)

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. Bandsters are the most awewome people!

I guess for all the meetings I had to go to, I have no Idea what the band size is or means. Does that have anything to do with the amount of fills you need? How long after you have been banded do they do a fill?

Congratulations on being banded! I'm so glad things are going well for you so far!

Get yourself some Gas-X to ward off the gas pains. I take one with each "meal." So far, no pains at all.

Be sure you are getting enough protein. It'll help you feel full longer. Keep drinking to stay hydrated.

You're doing great--keep it up!
