Finally back on the forum...Hope all went well with your banding. Mine was no problemo, slept a lot the first week and came to LOVE broth, lol...and Italian ice!

When I went my first appt with the surgeon a week later I had gained 1-1/2 lbs and was devastated. But the aftercare coordinator says I just didn't drink enough fluids...so DRINK UP, folks! I thought I was awash in fluids but I guess my body didn't think so.

Had my first apt with the aftercare coordinator today and was down 10 lbs in the past two weeks. Whew...that makes up for the first 1-1/2 of gain.

Mushies for another week and then slowly into "normal" foods. I have an appt for a fill next week but that's evidently an error, it's not supposed to be until the week after. But I can go anyway they said and see how things stand. Good luck everyone, I hope all your journeys are as (so far!) easy as mine
