Banded on 9/17 (dad's bday) UP: lost 22 pounds since banded.:crying: DOWN: Hungry :thumbup: UP: Can fit my old "fat" clothes :smile2: DOWN: Hate the idea that I spent money buying fatter than fat clothes :crying: UP: People notice - attention :thumbup: DOWN: People notice - too much attention!! (I'm shy) UP: Family wedding in 2 weeks - I can wear one of my nicer outfits :smile: DOWN: Still won't be allowed to have solid foods. I get to have soft mushies at the end of next week. Boo. :mad2:

I'm itchy - post anesthesia I think. Hungry... after 2 week liquid diet and clear liquids for the last several days. And wanting to know what other stuff I can have besides water, boullion, sugar free jello, sugar free non carbonated drinks, and clear protein drinks?

No more itching. It was the anesthesia. And the itchy scabs was the adhesive. Once the adhesive was off my skin... I had instant relief!

I had an endometrial ablation to take care of the excessive bleeding... BUT I'm older and not planning on having kids.

I already have Benadryl to sleep...not for allergies. So yes, I am taking something. I think my itching is related to the anesthesia and the scabs under the adhesive sutures. Once those scabs come off, I think it will be better. But it's crazy, my head itches, my face itches, my back etc.. I don't think I have ever scratched my body so many times. I haven't scratched so hard that I damage skin, but it's kind of crazy.

Hi Annmarie, I'm in CV. I'm new now. Just got banded 9/17. Sore, excited, and hungry. Rene :thumbup:
