So I was banded and the 1st couple days I thought... What did I do to myself .... The gas pain was unreal!!!! But it is day 5 and I feel pretty good! So happy that part is over. I had to start just Protein Shakes two weeks before so I'm down 18 lbs and that is pretty exciting! I have a long road ahead of me but I'm excited!!! Hope the rain holds out I would love to go walking again today. How are you doing? When where you able to eat solids again!??

I'm doing good! overeating this week but nothing i cant change and fix.. was in AC so not much overeating just eating out lol ... i think i was able to start soft solids 3 weeks out.. Dont rush! and follow your post op diet as your stomach is healing now... YaY so excited for you
