I was banded on 12/23/08- so I am 3 days post op. I am glad that I found this forum because it has answered so many questions that I had. Thanks to all for sharing their experiences.

I have not had too much pain, just some soreness which seems to get better with each passing day. I am glad that I can rest for the next week before I have to go back to work.

Started to feel a little bit hungry today. I am nervous that it will get worse before I can progress to the next stage of mushy food. Right now I am just on liquids, sf Jello and carnation instant Breakfast with skim milk. 3 more days to go.

I went from eating whatever I wanted to nothing- It's like going through withdrawl. It is so hard because I love food. But I don't like what the food has done to me. So it is time for a new start, new habits - I just hope I can do it
