Hello guys, I would love to hear how everyone's first week was?!?!? Mine has been filled with a few bumps in the road, several stomach growlings (not all from hunger) many trips to the bathrom and 7.3 lbs gone!!!! I know it's Water weight and big numbers come in the beginning but, i am still stoked. I'm also very concerned about Good Friday and Easter coming up. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE fried fish and we are going to a huge family dinner on Sunday? Any suggestions? I'll be moving to puree's at the end of the week. So enough about me. How has your 1st banded week gone and let me hear those numbers. Also, feel free to follow me on youtube under mrsa9206. thatgurl

We are tracking the same. Only I have had a case a diahrrea all day. Yuck! My belly is slowly going down, but I have no complaints here. thatgurl

Thanks for your response. That does make sense. I will slathering the desitin on until it clears up, I don't know why I didn't think of that. You're the best. thatgurl

Hi folks, So, I was banded on the 12th of this month and am 5 days post op. Last night I had a fever into this afternoon. The fever has passed but I have had diahrrea all day. Is that common? I'm trying to take in more liquids to make up for the lost liquid. Should I take something for the diahrrea? I wanted to go to the store, but I can only get but so far from the bathroom and also, any recommendations for a sore booty? thatgurl

Hi Laura, i meant to thank you for your kind words about enjoying my posts. If you want you can follow me on youtube under mrsa9206. Let's keep each other updated on our progress. thatgurl!

Wow Laura! I was banded on April 12th! How are you feeling? I look like I could go into labor any day. thatgurl

i was banded on the 12th and i look like i'm 6 months pregnant. that has been my only issue. my pain is manageable without meds. i did take some tylenol this morning but nothing since then. thatgurl

i was banded on the 12th also. my stomach is so swollen. i look like i'm 6 months pregnant. i can't wait for it to go down. i don't have any gas at all (thank the Lord) but my stomach is so bloated. i called the nurse about it and she said it was normal and will be a few days before it goes down. no regrets though and thankful i did this. thatgurl!

I was banded on the 12th as well and am feeling great. I was blessed not to have any gas. I do burp alot though. I've been walking often and am on clears until tomorrow when I move to full liquids. So excited and I have no complaints or regrets!!!! Good luck on your journey! thatgurl
