I am SO there with you. I was banded on 12/19, and am now on the puree/mushy part. My appetite has come back, I feel like I eat, and am hungry 30 minutes later. Also - I'm finding that I so hungry, and I'll eat and then feel "stuffed" (I've eaten too much). I've gained 3 pounds. If it weren't for the incision marks, I'd question if I've even had the surgery. I'm hopefully going to have a fill in less than 2 weeks...so (fingers crossed) I'll start losing soon.

It's been exactly ONE week since the surgery, and I am feeling GREAT! I needed pain killer for 2 days (in the evenings I would tend to get sore)...and that was it. I have spent the last couple of days shopping, with family, etc...and I've been just fine. I think I could EASILY go back to work right now. The surgical tape for 2 of the 5 incisions has already fallen off...which is good. I was very "tight" for this week, but I guess as the stomach swelling goes down...I am starting to feel a little hungry. Still on Soups, slimfasts, liquids, etc. Until Tuesday...then a graduate to purees. Feel free to ask away. I was a NUT when I was researching this...and asked a million questions...I'm happy to pay it forward. xo, Jody

Hi everyone, While it's still surreal...I went thru with the surgery this past friday...and I'm very excited at all the possibilities! Just wanted to say "hello". Jody
