Hello Everyone!

I was just banded 3 days ago. Other than a little soreness I feel totally normally. I am hoping share my success with others who understand. Welcome all!

I was also banded on July 19. I feel the same. Sore but that's about all. I keep drinking my Protein Drinks and having broth. Can't wait to move to the next stage!!

I know I am ready to move on to the next stage but I definitely don't want to rush it. Are you feeling super hungry?

[Doodledo73 7]

I haven't really felt hungry until today. So I added another Protein Drink in. I'm really wanting some saltiness. Everything in the liquids has been sweet. Well except for the broth but it's low sodium.

Congrats to you both! Best of luck on your journey!

I was banded on the 11th. I'd be more than willing to share my experiences with you!!

I was banded on the 31st. Had a lot of pain the first few days now its a waiting game. I find that I am hungry but I'm good and only drink my Protein shakes ect. I typically will not break 600 calories a day however I have noticed that I am snacking more ( sugar-free hello and popcicles)...I think its almost mindless (which is bad) but then I tell myself that it is ok because I don't eat many calories, I get large amounts of Protein with low carb and low sugar. I don't want to be OCD about food but should I try and stop the Snacks? I fear that if I do then I will fall completly off the wagon...what to do?

And by the way I've lost weight since surgery. Day of surgery 228 today 214.4

I snack a lot too! I don't eat a lot of calories, but I'm like you.... If I quit my Snacks then I'm scared of eating too much

Hello everyone i was banded July 06 I am new here... I was in pain for the first week and felt uncomfortable in the second. I was under the impression all would be okay and i would be ready for work in 1 week. It wasn't like that at all....did anyone feel like depression and anxiety the first days it was really awful for me not sure if it is just me or someone out there also felt this way.
