Hi Newbies! I've been banded 21 months. Let me know if you have any questions.
RealtorCarol replied to juliegeraci's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So many questions. 1. Are there foods you liked before but now cannot eat- do they taste different. 2. Do you watch every calorie you intake? Still? Is this easier to maintain than before? 3. Did you tell people you were having surgery - friends, coworkers? I said I had wisdom teeth pulled. My kids (teens) think I am a failure at will power as I have tried every diet. So far, this bad has not been easy and I don't expect easy. -

Not so much painy any longer but the first two days were rough. Were you bloated for a while. Does this go down. I imagine there is swelling also. :thumbup: -
Berry, I had the exact same reaction. Was banded 4 days ago. It hurt and I wondered why I paid for this as I was totally healthy, just plump.:thumbup: Let's keep in touch.

Hi I'm Carol in Texas. I would love to share emails so we can keep together with our March Banding. Its been 4 days. I am nervous but excited. How about you? I hear so many success stories. For those of you who just had this. Are you bloated and swollen still? -
Cindy. Hi I am Carol. I was banded four days ago. You really had no pain...I did and I'll admit I am a baby when it comes to pain. I had not had surgery before. I went to work today. It was a long day. Are you bloated? I wonder how long this lasts.

Oh my gosh do I have questions. I was banded 5 days ago. Please give me advice on these first few days. I am so bloated. When does this go away. I couldn't believe the pain but I went to work today ...long day. -
Hi I was banded last Thuirsday the 18th. I have not had any reaction to sweets...yet. This is so new. However, please help. My post-op paperwork says liquids and then something about 1/2 to 1/4 cup 3 times a day. What are you eating these days?:biggrin2:
