I'm excited to see August bandsters with low BMIs. My BMI is 30 and I was banded 8/12. So far, I have had a lot of gas pain and haven't been able to eat or drink much. Hopefully, that's normal. I have a starting weight of 185 and hope to lose about 40 pounds. I weighed this morning and had lost 7 pounds. I didn't have a pre-op diet. Any advice on what to expect would be great. I'm very excited!

I feel the exact same way. I have no desire to eat and when I drink something, i feel more gas pain. I have also gained 2 pounds since surgery but I figure it's due to the fluids and swelling from surgery.
