Thoughts & prayers go with you Floridays! Will be waiting for an update on how you're doing.

This sounds exactly how I feel about everyone on this site. Like you, I was on here everyday for 7mths reading,reading and reading. The best on line class I could have had. I like to point that out to any newbies that start posting here. Read, ask questions and learn before being banded. You will start to feel better and better every day that passes. You should be in your bed soon. I was lucky and never had trouble laying on my side in my bed. I just hugged a big pillow. Best wishes for continued success!

I didn't have migraines but did have a terrible headache for a couple days. I figured it was a combination of pain meds and anesthesia .

Just saying if it was me, if I had the money I would stay here. I know a lot of ppl have done well in Mexico, but having my Dr close by would take a little stress off. The is just my opinion, not saying it's right,but how I would handle it.

Glad nothing serious aj! As usual, your experiences will help me in the future. Thanks for sharing this with us.

One more thing off your " to do" list. Glad it went well. You luck out not having all those goofy questions. My hub's still trying to figure out how I passed the psych eval.LOL

Congratulations to you too!

Most likely that is your port. It stay sore for awhile and it feels like a big knot under your skin,

I have 5 incision site too, 3 small ones, 2 larger. Port site the biggest. 9wks out now and they're just now shrinking and fading.

You're absolutely correct. Itching means healing and the port site stays sore for some time.

Hang in there GF! You're only getting started and things will get better and this is not the time for losing, but healing. I promise you'll be happy in a short time.

Banditiff, another thing that seems to help me is when I'm really hungry between meals, I have a hot cup of tea (Chai) or Diet Hot Chocolate with splenda. I don't know, but it seems the warmth of it settles my grumbles in my tummy.

I too weigh my solid Proteins at 3oz and use measuring cup for everything else. If I eyeball something, it turns out I have huge eyeballs .LOL

You're doing very well on your liquids

Congratulations! Take care & keep us posted. We're all here for you!

Congratulations Peaceful! I'm very happy for you. Your future just got a lot lighter, I mean brighter.lol I did (((((hugs))))) Take care sweetheart, we're here for you!

Congratulations! Take care of yourself!

I'm there with you sister! I think the above posters gave you great advice. I use MyFitnessPal and track my solid Protein to 60gr and stay at 1000 cal. You might want to work it out that you eat smaller amounts every couple hrs. You'll be eating all day, but staying within calorie limit & protein requirements. It does take some finessing. Best wishes! My next fill Jan 6

That is fantastic! Keep it up everyone!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing, we all need encouragement. I'm very happy for you.

Thoughts and prayers with you tomorrow! I would worry about you if you weren't worried & nervous.lol Don't think about surgery, think about a new healthier you. Keep us posted

You're doing fantastic sweetheart. Get your rest!

LOL. Merry Christmas to all too!

I was banded in October too. I have been living by the 1cup rule with protein being the first to be eaten. Christmas will be challenging but I want health right now, more than fattening stuff that will make me miserable in the long run. Best Wishes this Holiday!
