Now that April is over and everyone has been banded, how is everyone doing? I'm having a slow recovery - lots of gas pains and discomfort. I was banded on the 29th and am still not back to normal yet. How is everyone else's surgical recovery?

beachcitygirl - Congrats on 14lbs!!! You should be so proud. 4 Days to go and we will be banded! Keep your eye on the goal (and maybe move to a different room when your family is eating delicious foods.) I had to leave my office today at lunchtime because someone was eating Italian food that smelled devine and all I had was a Slimfast shake. When I came back in, the smell was gone and I could focus again. Keep up the good work. The best is yet to come!

I'm on day 8 of the diet and the first 4 days are definitely the worst. I ended up going to be early every night the first week because I was hungry. It seemed to help. Now I'm doing well on the diet and have lost about 6 pounds. My surgery is in 6 days and I can't wait!!!

Hey everyone. I'm new to the board but I'm so excited about starting this journey. I had my first meeting with my surgeon yesterday and since I'm self-pay he was able to schedule my surgery for the end of the month! I begin my liver shrinking diet on Thursday! I can't wait for the change!
