Thank you. Made it through my 2nd night after banding. First night slept pretty well - still had some of the anesthesia left in my system. 2nd night wasn't as smooth. Really sore, lot's of gas - generally uncomfortable; oh yes, I'm hungry. I'm still on clear liquids, but am so looking forward to a protein drink or even some milk. Oh well I'll keep sipping, walking, gassing and have periods of diaherra and look forward to passing through this stage. I could really use a mentor :thumbup::w00t:

Hello - Just banded yesterday. Still sore and drinking clear liquids. I can tell this will be some experience and I look forward to meeting many of you and sharing experiences and drawing from your knowledge.

Hello just a day and 1/2 since entering "bandland." Someone mentioned the word committment and it is just dawning on me how much of a committment I've made. Right now I'm on clear liquids and who would have thought how thrilled one could be to anticipate being able to eat full liquids who hoo - a little yogurt or protein drink. I'm doing the best I can, but the stomach growling is definitely there. I also hate sugar free products and this makes it a bit more difficult. Need a mentor to help me through and keep me focused. Oh yea - I'm in Bowie and had surgery at St Agnes with Dr. von Rueden. His team has been excellent and give you all the tools needed to succeed. You just have to follow them.
