I just wanted to let those who just had surgery that I am three weeks post and feeling really good. It took a while but my stamina, stomach woes, and soreness has improved dramatically. Banded Aug. 13th and eating soft food.:smile2:

Congrats on feeling better. I was banded 8/11 and I'm doing well with the exception of some lingering gas once in awhile.

I too am on a soft diet until Monday. It isn't too bad. I am trying to be more concerned with improving my bad habits than always thinking about food. I have the motto that some others have: I eat to live...not live to eat. I refuse to let food be my controller any longer!
