Banded 8/20/08

Hello All!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the August All Star Team! =)

I was banded last Wednesday (1 week ago today!) I have started to get a bit hungry and irritable just on fluids and soft liquids, but hanging in there!

Good luck to all and let's do this together!

OH...and how do you all get that cute ticker thing on your post? I made one, but can't figure out how to paste it!

Going for my first pre op appointment today... wish me luck..

So being a week out now Kimberly... how you feeling? Hope your doing well.

I am doing great. Actually surprised how fast things seemed to feel better.

I did not have to be on liquid diet after the surgery... went straight to mushy.. even was not released from the hospital until they knew i could tolerate it.

The 64oz of fluids a day is a reall pain... sometimes feel like I am drowning... but I get it done... And it is also sometimes hard to get the Protein in... I was told 45-60 grams a day.

Wish you all the best-

Jo Ann:smile2:

Welcome to LBT! Glad everything went well for you.

Josie you are so lucky to be able to get to go straight to mushy foods. I am on liquids for a few weeks.
