Hey girl how are you doing, we got our bands the same day, I was hoping to compare some symptons. I am feeling pretty good most of the day but I have this bloated feeling that does not go away. My incision itch & I am just not hungry. Mentally I want to eat but I am not hungry I do my broth & sip my Water & waiting for the bloating to go away. Let me know how you are doing?

Pug - you can do it! Just be strong! Try to drink lots of Water in between too, that is supposedly supposed to help you stay "full" too! Good luck! I will start my liquid diet on Tuesday - not dr ordered. Hubby and I have a "date" night next Friday! We haven't been out in so long! It will be a nice break from kids and a nice break from the liquid diet. It is getting so close! I can just "feel" it! LOL

hey there, I'm totally feeling your pain, after some long naps though, I'm starting to feel like I'm turning a corner. The nausea is going away and I'm feel like walking around a little more. Keep hanging in there, I've scrolled through the before and after pics a few times today already to remind myself why I went through this! What I can't even begin to think about now is going through surgery again for plastic surgery. ughhh.

Hi was banded yesterday. Everything went well despite weeks and months of worry before hand.

Surgery at 10am and up walking by 6pm. Apart from discomfort from gas (nurses gave me peppermint Water which was great) there is very little pain. Home today. Apart from a little tenderness everything is good. Good luck to all who are waiting
