I was also banded on Dec. 19. I did the 10 day liquid diet prior to surgery also. So far, I've lost 23 pounds. I go back to the dr. tomorrow and I'm hoping to be able to move on to pureed foods! Congrats on your loss!

I was also banded on Dec. 19. and am just the opposite. I don't feel hungry at all. I didn't eat anything the day of surgery except ice chips and then Clear Liquids the next day. When I left the hospital the evening of the 20th, I was told I could start full liquids the next day. I'm actually worried that I'm not eating enough. I usually have four ounces of a Protein shake for Breakfast (right now it's Boost high protein), sometimes I have four more ounces at lunch and sometimes I don't, and then I have four ounces of some sort of cream Soup broth (usually potato made with skim milk) for supper. That's it. I don't feel like I can eat anything else. So I'm eating between 8 and 12 oz a day. I don't feel bad. I actually feel pretty good, but my husband is starting to worry that I'm not getting enough nutrients or calories. I'm drinking alot of Water and I guess that has me filled up. I go to the doctor Tuesday, so I guess I'll check with him. I lost 14.8 pounds on the 10 day liquid diet before surgery and I've lost 8 pounds since surgery for a total of 22.8 so far.

I'm five days post op (banded Dec. 19). I'm allergic to codeine (loratab) and came home with instructions to take advil liquid gels for pain. I took two the first night home, but nothing since. I'm still a little tender, but that's it. Mudbug
