Hey there!

Yes, I was banded 12/22. I feel a lot better this week, still not 100% though. I'm still really sore around my port area when I bend or move the wrong way. And I hate having to sleep on my back. But everyday is getting better! I'm actually going to try to get back on my treadmill for a slow walk and lift my light weights tomorrow morning. And I have my first post-op visit Monday afternoon. My doctor is 3 hours away, so that will be a nice drive...hope it doesn't snow!!

I've lost about 10 lbs since surgery day. I seemed to stop losing when I began eating mushies on Wed. I haven't been eating much, I'm blaming it on being on my period, which came super early and ticked me off, lol. I get to eat soft food next Wed, then on to solid the week after. I can't imagine being on liquids and purees for an additional 4 weeks! So, I bet you are pretty frustrated! I was after the 2 week pre-op and 1 week liquids after! Did you have to do a liquid pre-op too? (cont'd)
