it gets better...the first two weeks were the hardest...

We are all here for support...welcome back...we can do this...

Oh no!

I am so worried about that happening to me....I was scheduled for my 2 wk. post op today, but had to miss it because I could not get out of work in time. I was actually a little relieved, so scared to move to "mushies" and beyond (LOL) as I have gotten quite used to the full liquid diet.

How are you doing otherwise with regular food? Are you filling up quickly? Are you craving any "bad" food? I think my fear is, once I get a taste of REAL food again, my appetite will be unsatiable.....

Ive done fine with food until that episode.... I eat the 3 oz of meat and 1/2 cup of green Beans and im full... I have a hard time fitting in all the Protein in that i need.... Im on my fitnesspal says im not meeting my calories each day..My dietitian told me not to worry as much about calorie as protein....

Yeah I have had 2 periods the month of surgery...

My dietcian skipped the mushie stage

Wow..wtg...

well guys I have just experienced productive burping for the first time...Yuck....I ate one bite of chicken...it was hot and I diddnt chew it good enough....way to open your eyes...that was not fun at all.......im almost 3 weeks post-op btw

Congrats that is awesome .....something to look forward 2....

Each doctor is different in what type of diet you are allowed after surgery....I was on Clear Liquids post op day one and clear/ full liquids from post op day 2-14.... I then went back to my dietician....did ur doctor tell you what your allowed?

Depession and tearfulness are common side effects from surgery.....hope u feel better

Are hard

Give it some time...go to the support groups....first two weeks post op are hardly

Hope u find ur answer...I would be intersted in knowing also

Back in March my doctor took me off of my blood pressure med. It had a diuretic in it so she gave me a separate diuretic and told me to take 1/2 to 1 whole tab a day as needed for Fluid retention. Well I've been taking it ever since then. Now I don't think I need it anymore so I stopped taking it Sunday. Since Monday I've been really tight. Is it a coincidence or was the diuretic making my band looser? I'm normally much looser than I have been the past few days.

I have no idea but i really dont see how the diuretic would make you band loose. I just dont see how thats physiologically possible unless your retaining Water in your stomach. The diuretic works on your heart and kidneys not your stomach.
