Just starting....

Hello everyone. Just got banded Friday...went home Saturday...back to work yesterday. Was a surprisingly painless procedure. Havent had to take any pain meds aside from some ibuprofen.

First impressions after the surgery. Im a little surprised at the lack of restriction post op but I guess thats normal. Needs time to heal. I find myself craving more solid foods but Im kind of used to the liquid diet now so its not too much trouble and Ill slowly add some creamed foods/soups in the mix soon.

I was a bit taken aback in the hospital. They actually gave me a Breakfast of cheerios (got soggy quick) and some french toast the next morning. I tolerated it well though I did spend considerable time chewing and such and they sent me home.

At any rate, Im looking forward to losing the weight I have been carrying for far too long and enjoy the rest of my life on this planet.

Did you get sick after eating the solid foods or throw up? Interesting how the hospital would do that.
