:laser: I start at 333 on July 28th. I get banded. I had no preop diet. When I woke up I felt like I had done 1000 pushups. I was out 8 hours later. I am sore but good. The first week, I need to get used to the new "pains" I have. I have questions but feel isolated with no one to talk to. I think there was an emotional peice that I wasn't prepared for. Week two, my pain is gone. My suters fell off, no prob's. I am still no hungry but I cook so I find myself taking a huge bite of something to satisfy my tASTE BUDS AND SPIT IT OUT. tHEREFORE, MY TUMMY IS GOOD AND MY TONGUE. LOL. 28 lbs. lost and it has been 10 days wow!
