:thumbup::blushing: CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work!!

First Congrats on your band!! I was banded on the 27th and by day three I finally felt "normal" again! I think you have to keep drinking and it helps! I also agree with eating sf popsicles! They help! I hope you are feeling good today!

I was also banded on the 27th and finally feel good today. I drove yesterday and did a lot of stuff and by 9 last night I was worn out! I have 4 kids also and they do where you out! It is like the laundry never stops! I think i have lost 7 lbs but like you said all the scales are diffrent! I am doing ok on liquids and still feel full. I will have to go look at that website and see what they have! Hope your recorvery and loss keep going good!!

Congrats on your band!!

I got the hicups 1 day post op and OMG did they kill me! I have not had them anymore.

I can drink from a straw. I think it does add more air when you drink.

Congrats to you both! It sounds like it all went well and you have some good help!

WTG it sounds like it went great! That is a great NSV! I wish I liked seafood so it could be part of my diet!

That is a great NSV!!! Congrats!!

I have lost 1lb since surgery. I am hopping next week will be a much bigger number! WTG on everyones weight loss!

I am also on 14days of liquid diet. I am doing ok so far, but I am sure come the weekends it is going to be hard. I went and got sf ice cream and skim milk and I am going to make some milk shakes for the times I am feeling like I need a treat.

Wow Congrats!!! That is a huge milestone! KUTGW! You only have 14 more pounds to get to onederland!!

Wow you sound like you are doing great! It is good to hear since I am on day 2 and feeling pretty sore!

Congrats! It sounds like you are doing good!

I got there at the hospital at 5:45am and got into the OR at 7:30am and was gone by noon! The worse part was the IV I am not a very good stick so it took them 3 tries I feel very sore, but really nothing awful! I am not hungry at all and ice chips make me full :cursing: I am so excited to start my new life and bandster!!! I hope all you 27th guys and gals are doing good :huh2:

Sounds like you did great! Congrats!

Thanks! I am ready, but still worried about how I will feel afterwards. I went shopping for all my liquid foods and food for my family. I am now going to clean the rest of the day and try not to think about food!

In my book I got from my Dr. they say "avoid chewing gum" Why is that? Are they afraid you are going to swallow it? I like chewing gum LOL

Ok, thanks! I would hate to get it stuck! I better stick to the rules then!

I thought about that, but heck I chew SF and it only has 10cal.

My surgery is also Wednesday and I am getting more and more excited and nervous!

I think you will bet me in getting it done LOL So is your dad really excited? I am sure it is great having someone to do it with, I tried so hard to get my brother to get it done with me.

I am down 2lbs this week I have walked 7 miles this week and have done my wii fit every day for 30min. I really need to measure because I feel like I have lost inches. WTG on everyones losses and NSV!

That is great!! I am with you I can't wait for Wednesday! I did not even think about doing pumpkin soup, I will have to mix some up! I don't know about you but I am so excited that this will be my last weekend with no band LOL What time is your surgery? Mine is suppose to be at 9am and they will let me know the day before what time to get there.

Welcome and Congrats! I am so glad to hear you are doing good 4 days post op! It is nice to hear how people are doing so I know what to expect!
