I'm a real bandster now!

[hopeful1 1]

Hi all,

Got my band on Thursday and I'm feeling pretty good :Bunny :Bunny . Just that port site incision hurts and makes it hard to get in and out of bed. Johnell keeps us on full liquids for 2 weeks, then puree for two weeks. So far it hasn't been bad. I'm sure I'll be wanting something substantial sometime soon though.

Still bloated but no unbearable gas pains. I keep moving around as much as I can. All in all excited to be on my way to weight loss! Yeah!

Thanks Michelle. We'll be cruising down the same road at the same time! We're going to do great.

Happy rebirth to you too!

Congrats, seems like a lot of us were banded last week and this.

It is so exciting and I felt better after one week post op.

Take your time and be good to yourself. Drink a ton of Water and the heavier liquids will be easier as you heal.

Good luck to you.

I can't keep up with the new posts any more! So many new band babies. We're growing like weeds. Soon the procedure will be just like getting braces. Good luck, Denise!

Thanks guys for all the good wishes and good luck to all of us who were banded recently. There are new ones everyday it seems!

I feel better each day. Tummy is tender and I'm sorry but I'm real tired of liquids already! Bad, bad. But I'm sticking to it. Now I know why you guys complained about the nasty Protein drinks. They didn't bother me so much before but they sure are tasting nasty now. Suggestions for something other than Atkins shakes are very welcome. I know you've posted some. I'll have to go looking. It'll be over soon and I'll be at the pureed stage! Who'd have thought I'd look forward to baby food?!

I took off from work until next Monday and am very glad I did. If I'm tired I can take a nap and the best thing of all is sleeping late if I want!

Good idea to take off work to recooperate. Congratulations on your new band. Those Protein shakes do get old, even the good ones. But that's good, because before too long you will be on solids and liquid calories will be out.

I used Isopure liquid, which got old and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder, which I still like. It has to be ordered online, though, and is pricey. (www.unjury.com)

Glad things are getting better each day.

Denise, try GNC pro performance 100% whey protien, vanilla flavor. I drink it for Breakfast every morning, I like the taste and I add different types of fruit, one of my favorite things to add is; 1/2 a banana, and a few table spoons of sugar/fat free banana cream pie pudding mix........ VERY good!

congrats on your band
