Know there are April banders out there, why is our month so empty? I was banded April 3, 2014 three days later I feel fine, just tired off and on, I am tired of these gas pains and falling asleep randomly. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Tomika

It'll move pretty fast. Congratulations. The 1st week is the hardest.

I was banded April 1st and doing good now. First couple days were yucky and gas lasted through yesterday (day 5). I still have some pain when I move certain ways but other then that I am good. I go back to work tomorrow, which scares me a little. I am able to drink my protein better at this point and getting in what my doctor recommends.

Today is day for me, I feel better, I have gas pains when I walk up my stairs to my apartment, it's horrible. However last night was the first time I was able to sleep in my bed, which was awesome because I've been sleeping on my couch.

Hi! I was banded on April 3rd. I am glad the first week is over and I do not have any more pain. My diet can include puréed soups this week, but the hunger still isn't there.

I am hungry...until I actually go to eat... It's crazy. Tonight I puréed the chicken and soup part of chicken dumplings and couldn't eat it, I became nauseous

My band date was also April 3rd, 2014. Im feeling great post-op. Discomfort is almost gone. Im on my mushies and going great!

I don't go to mushy food until Thursday - I'm kinda nervous.

Prettyandbrwn - are you still getting nauseous?

Not so much... I am doing a lot better now. Mushy wasn't that bad, it was weird to blend my chicken, and it did change the taste of the food.
