REPO-X

Good evening everyone, I was also banded on 11/5/2010. My surgery went off without a hitch and I was at home 6 hours after surgery. I have not really experienced any soreness or pain and I also have not had any of the Gas I have read and heard about. Even sleeping on my stomach has not been a problem. Now for the problems... My Dr. put me on a clear liquid diet for two weeks post op. I am starving all the time. Nothing seems to give me a satisfied feeling. Rather its a pressured feeling on top of the band. I was not prepared for how difficult it would be to even drink Water, but I have to take very very small sips of water. My biggest fear right now is that I am getting enough nutrition in my body as I am only consuming approximately 200-300 calories a day right now. At this point and the way I am feeling I wonder if I will ever be able to eat solid food. I am happy with my decision and am looking forward to the results, just was not prepared for the difficulties with liquid. Tell me it will get better...... I am glad I found this forum to talk about this with others that know what I am talking about. I would also like to find a support group in the Austin, TX. area to attend meetings and meet other banders. :thumbup:
