Good Luck Michelle, You won't need it though

I purchsed my first pair of size 18 jeans from the normal section on thw weekend. i used to squeeze into a size 24. That made everything that I have gone through well worth it.

Good luck to those being banded tomorrow. I am going well now and have started the blended food, glad the liquids are gone. I don't miss them at all. I can't wait for normal food. I am not rushing though, I am not hungry at all I seem to have just the right amount at the moment. I have my first fill on the 11th Sept, and a dietian appoint 26th August. I willkeep you all up to date and I hope you will do the same. Again good luck but it will be worth it I know.

I GOT MY BAND YESTERDAY :biggrin2:I am on my 2 weeks of free fluids now. There's not alot I can eat...well....drink, but I'm not that hungry yet anyway. Its still a little sore but its not that bad really. I went into theatre at 10am and at about 4pm on the ward I was bursting to go to the toilet so I just got up and went. It was less painfull being up and walking about than it was lying in the bed. I am home now and doing fine. Lifting my baby, making his feeds, tidying around the house.

So here goes, day one of being banded, I already weighed myself this morning aand was a kilo heavier than yesterday and all i had yesterday was a few sips of Water. I think its all the gas and stuff as my tummy is still bloated from the op.

Hi mumof2,

Yes you would be full of gas I hope you have went out and bought degas. John my husband was so full of gas it was unbelieveable and he was in such a lot of pain from it, so I went out and purchased degas and that cured him.

I have a supply for myself for when I go in taking no chances.
