    You will do great! Its nothing, I promise! Talk to the dr about some surgery fears and he will take away and fears you have! And, hey! its sooooooo worth it, in the end!!

  9. I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! I got banded on the 19th and was told that i was hungry because my stomach isnt swollen and after the first fill I should feel more restricted. Hopefully thats what will happen. i am also able to eat more than 3/4c of food....I dont know what to tell you but I thought it might help you to know that someone else was in your shoes!

    Banded on the 17th

    I was banded on the 19th and same thing was happening to me--------the gas pains were there totally....then I realized I was just really getting hungry. So you should be able to eat something and by the end of the day the pains should be gone.
  11. omg you cheated!! lol, bad girl! i didnt cheat at all...so its been exactly 3 weeks since any kind of solid food in my stomach....and i have gotten used to it! weird huh? I had surgery on thursday and it gone okay. I have some horrible bruising....but it will be worth it. Very sore and uncomfortable but not in a lot of pain. btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  12. Can someone tell me what their incisions looked like 2 days post op? i have a lot of red and purple bruising?! is this normal?
  13. Thank you!!!!!!!! I will let you know how it goes!

  14. Hi! can you tell me what website you did this on?? its cool!

  17. I am doing great! A lot of energy. I got on the scales today and have lost 20 lbs in 10 days! yay! I am only drinking water and the shakes (optifast). I think you are allowed to drink black coffee and crystal light. But I have gone this far without it, so might as well keep going with out it!

  18. why is it postponed??? oh no........

  19. Good luck!! I get banded on the 19th. how are you doing on the liquid diet?
