Anyone banded on 10/29? How are you doing? Would like to have a pacing partner?

I was also banded on October 29th at 7:50am. I can't believe it has already been a week. Hope you are doing well!

Hi there:
How are you doing 2-week post op? I am loving the fact that I started on some mushies today...tuna fish tested really good, I am going to go for some quiche tomorrow...so far so good so the dr. says...I get my first fill Dec 8th? And you?

Hi

I was also banded on the 29th. I have been blogging my ups and downs.
My first fill isn't until Dec.9th.
Incisions are healing nicely, but still have a bit of port pain if I move too quick.

Me, too - another Oct. 29 bandster here! Just started mushies this week, but don't add tuna until next week. I only have 8 oz of food per day which doesn't sound like a lot (and it isn't) but I'm not really very hungry. My favorite meal right now is a scrambled egg, or egg beaters, with a wedge of laughing cow lite cheese cut up into it, zapped in the microwave for a minute. Very yummy.

Incisions are healed for the most part, though the port area is still tender and I'm careful of it. My first fill is scheduled for 11/23.

Hi,

are any of you starting to see your skin wrinkle a bit more? SIGH!! I am starting to see this mostly in my thighs, but also in my forearm area. I looks like the skin of an 80 year old.

I am hoping this tightens up a bit. I have been rubbing skin firming cream on it constantly.

I also am starting to get vertical lines under my chin.

Am I alone or are you seeing this too...
