Hi all Looking for a little support... I was banded on Monday 4/2 and I KNOW I was not suppose to get on the scale when I got home but you guessed it ..I did it! I knew to expect weight gain but I wasn't expecting 10 lbs! But that was what I got. Tried not to be discouraged but here I am 5 days post op and I still am up 3 lbs. I've been on all liquids and will be for the next week as well before going to 3 weeks of mushies. I still have the horrible gas pains too which I know doesn't help. I've been reading and reading and all I find is how much people have lost their first week. l lost 34 lbs before surgery and I'm not expecting to see tons come off in the first few weeks but the gain really hurts. I'm doing what I was told for liquid meals, walking and then walking some more but I just can't get back to pre-surgery weight...I also got a small fill when banded (3cc) Has anyone else had this issue or has everyone lost the first week? Would appreciate any imput

Hello April bandsters Well it's finally here. Tomorrow is my surgery day. Got to be there at 5:30 am..surgery at 7:30 I'm a little nervous..the whole going under thing and all kind of freaks me but I'm ready.. Wish me luck and I will think of all of you as your surgery day comes up. Good luck to everyone this month...we all deserve success! Will check in soon Btw could someone tell me how or where u attach the counter that everyone seems to have...ever done that b4.

Hi I'm new to the site and was really happy to find this group. I'm going to be starting my 2 week pre-surgery diet on Monday and my surgery date is 4/2. I can honestly say I'm excited and a little scared. I'm glad to meet all of you and look forward to taking this journey with you guys
