Fellow former bander here. I had mine done the end of July and I'm holding on for a wild ride. Word to the wise I entered this journey with a "been there done that", and I was surprised that shortly after surgery I went through all of the "what did I do and why did I do it" moments. I had those moments of missing food and anger. I guess having done the journey doesn't make it a breeze, it just helps you understand that this will pass. I have reached a point that I was at a good fill, I can eat regular food, not much and I'm finally in a good spot in my head except for stalls. They make me unhappy. I guess what I'm saying is to be careful as all the uncertainties will pop up even if you've been down this road.

I really appreciate that advise! I really needed to hear that! Grateful.

You'll do great if you follow your doctor's orders. After 6 weeks when I was able to add food, I took it very slowly. I had a lot of tuna and chicken breast as I knew it was safe. I didn't venture out to other food until almost 3 months out. Always focus on your Proteins. After surgery walk around a lot to get the gas out of your stomach. That is the only discomfort I experienced. At 3 weeks you get hungry, sometime during the first weeks you think you made a mistake, just hang in there. Just realize that this is a journey and not a sprint Just hang in there. Have a great journey.
