Day 7 Post Op- Trapped Wind Anyone??

I'm doing well but I know I need to start exercising every day as I'm beginning to feel fine at this stage. What I have realised is that my discomfort is mainly due to trapped wind. It wont go anywhere- I feel bloated with air.. It's the strangest thing because I have never had this problem before. Gas is very slow to pass either end (I'm sorry to have to talk about this it I just have to know if its something others may have advice on ) and every time I have juice, soup, smoothie, yogurt, even

Band Pre Op Liquid Day 4

Hi, I have decided to make an effort to blog some of my journey to keep me grounded. I have a track record of giving up and I feel so determined today to change. I'm having my gastric band operation on Monday 23rd April. I feel so emotional about everything. I'm a bit of a wreck to be honest. I have allowed my weight to hold me back for so long it's like I'm mourning my lost years. I'm 28 and I have already waited too long to get the band. It's like I kept telling myself that I could do it alo
