Yay!...My First Challenge...Count me in...I'm not yet on solids and i still have 3 more weeks of mushies then soft solids so i'm aiming high...put me in for 25lbs....no pain no game :confused:

Chinese food??!??...what are you able to eat from them? lolz i'm just so curious because i thought that would be something i would have to give up forever and ur abe to eat it so soon lol...great to know...thnx:smile2:

Thanks! i've lost 17 pounds in a week and a half, but i think im starting to level off and slow down...i started my mushies this morning with a scrambled egg and it went down well and kept me full so hopefully now things will get better!

Hey, I missed this challenge, i was just banded last week...is there going to be a Father's day or 4th of July challenge because I'm in!:bored:

I have had 2 C-sections (2205 and 2007) and compared to those LB pain is non existent!...i was so surprised because i expected the pain to be as bad as the c-sections, but needless to say my surgery was virtually painless...i mean your stomach feels soar, but no major pain...the only pain i had was gas pains and drinking too much liquids pains....Good Luck with everything, but if my surgery is like most Lb surgery's then dont worry about the pain because it is far less painful!

I am right along with the both of you. I am 9 days post op and i feel very hungry at times...i dont know about you guys but im supposed to be on liquids only for another 5 days!!! Thank God i got the ok from my doc yesterday to start puree's...hopefully this will help! You are not alone! i also try and make my own smoothies with fruit and sherbert it helps some of the time.

I can 100% relate! I was banded on Monday 4/26 and I am so tired of the same jello, pudding, protein shake routine lolz...i found out i am allowed sugar free sherbert so i made my own smoothie with sherbert and protein mix...tastes great :thumbup: ...i am now also starting to look and try and make band friendly mixes to satisfy my hunger at times...

My surgery was on Monday 4/26 and i was only on clear liquids 1 day. Once i went home doc told me i could do full liquids so sugar free sherbert is great to have and yogurt!...i also am doing the sugar free jello and ice pops and i use the whey protein and make my own protein shake with the protein and sherbert..it tastes great :thumbup:

Hello fellow April Bandsters! I was banded on monday 4/26! I have a lot of gas pains and can barely get a protein shake and some yogurt down...hopefully that's a good things...anyways good luck to all...our jounery beginss....

She did my surgery on Monday...saw her before we went in Operating Room and never again...Dr. Choy did come and visit me to make sure i was ok because i was having chest pains so i guess he came in place of her, but it would of been nice for my actual surgeon to come and check up on me!..

i am being banded on the 26th and start my liquid diet on monday!

Hello All, i am scheduled to get banded on April 26th!...I couldn't be more excited!
