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

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

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

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.

I sent a request....Michelle Reid

My name is mlreidrn

My doctor filled this paper work out for....Ive been seeing her over 2 years
