Thank you! I am in a bit of Bandster Hell but making it through. Still on liquids until Feb 22nd, then mushies til the first of March when I get my fill. Gonna be crazy!

I don't really call it anything... HE calls it "Thor's Hammer"... wtf?

Welcome :scared2: There's quite a few of us... here's the link to the Feb 2010 thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/hey-february-2010-bandsters-106891/ Come on in and say hi.

I had my surgery a week ago tomorrow and I already feel normal. I still burp a bit but I expect that will pass very soon. My incisions are a little itchy but that's probably because the glue just came off. I've been able to sleep on my sides & stomach, clean my house, get up and down off the floor/couch/whatever, have sex etc.. I am just dying on this liquid diet! lol

I'm following you all.. mine is in my signature also!

My surgery went well. I've posted all about it on my blog if anyone cares to read (and a picture of my war wounds too!).. it's so odd to me that that I didn't have a single bit of shoulder pain. All mine was in the chest/rib cage area but 2 days later that's already gone. I feel like I am healing super fast.. the liquid diet is boring but I've lost 8 pounds since my consult a little over a week ago. Today my stomach is making strange noises... not really growling but I think it's wondering where all the food is? lol. anyway, I hope everyone else who has had their surgery already this month is feeling like a million bucks because I know I do!
