I dont think you can eat any of that stuff you mentioned above! i know the first week is clear liquids - meaning anything you can see through and the second week is full liquids (creamy soups and thinned milk shakes etc.) and then mushy food, but i dont think beef stew is good until week 2 or maybe 3

I am actually doing very very well - i just got banded on Wednesday and the pain from the surgery is virtually gone and has been since friday, the only pain/discomfort i am having is this damn gas bubble i have in my chest - it feels like i have to burp but it wont come out. I did not have any pre op diet so the only weight i have lost is since the surg. i have lost 5 lbs and i am not hungry at all!! still on liquids but they are so filling right now. The first few days were scary b/c i had never had any type of surgery before but i dont remember anything about it, i was awake then asleep then up again at which felt like 10 minutes later! At first i had a hard time getting up and out of bed i would forget that i just had surgery and would try to get up like normal and i hurt myself a few times. I think being young as definatley helped alot with my recovery and pain tolerance - i would say that i definatley had more pain with some bad bad periods... Oh and i get really tired after like and hour of being up so i take a knao im planning on going back to school on Monday but well see. any questions please feel free to ask! __________________

I Know I Just Had Surgery And Everything Is Still Swallen But I Sip Sip Sip And Get Fo Full - Will This Restriction Lessen Or Is It Possible That I May Not Have To Get A Fill? I Am Not Hungry At All And The Liquids Are Not Bothering Me Since I Am So Full!

Like I Said I Am 4 Days Post - Op And No Matter How Many Times I Brush My Teeth I Have This Horrible Breath And Grittyness To My Teeth - Anyone Else Experiecent This? I Think It May Be From The Gases Still Exiting My Body Throught My Mouth!

I DONT HAVE A BAND THING THAT YOU MENTION BUT YOU WILL BE GREAT! GOOD LUCK

I Did Not Get To Wear Anythin Besides The Socks They Gave Me Everything Else Had To Come Off - I Thought This Would Be A Problem For Me Too But Honestly Thats The Last Thing They Are Worried About!

someone said that causes more gas but i drank through one last night and i did not have a problem

um i just caughed and i thought i ripped out my stiches! can that happen? this friggin bubble is really irritating it goes away and comes back! pther than that i can lift basically anything and i dont actually have any pain in my stomach or anything its my arm! how weird! and that darn bubble!

exactly how i feel so ill just check off normal next the it on my list of things i am b*tching about! thanks

yeah it feels like i have to burps so bad but i cant and it hurts in my chest!

i was just banded on the 7th and i am 21 pm me if u have any questions.

im banded yes! and the pain was bad at fiorst well at least thats what i thought but other than that i am doing well - i was banded on 2/7, i have not and dont plan to weigh myself. i am having a really bad gas bubble pain in my chest like a big burp that want to come out but it just doesnt come out ! any suggestions? have some disconfort in my left shoulder but i heard it was gas - i went shopping today hehe

I had the hiccups and i felt like killing myself! OMG did they hurt! the pain has gotten better and i guess i overreacted the day after surg. I can only sleep layling down no way on my side and i cant really sit up too well. As far as drinking - 2 -3 sips of water or any other fluids make me so full like i just ate a double cheeseburger. i can get up and down now without any pain and my mom says for a surg. im doing so well - i guess since i never had one before i had unrealistic expectations....

i am 2 days out - i cant sleep - i cant cant get comfortable and i cant get this damn bubble out of my chest (feels like a burp) and my shoulder hurts! does anyone know if they could sleep onthier side right after surgery? the pain is ridiculous! ouch! ok ok maybe i am exaggerating but i never had surgery before and i did not knwo what to expect! i am only 21 and i weigh 265 and i wasnt sure if i needed to do this or not but i guess i am glad i did so far! I believe that my expectations were unrealistic because this is surgery but the experience is different for everyone and i wasnt even in pain from the "band" its was the gas, the incisions and that stuff...

I Think I May Be The First To Ask But Its A Must - How Long Did You Have To Wait To Be Intimate With Your Lover After Surgery?

First is me! then is I wanna look hot for my boyfriend - i know he doesnt like chunky girls and i have justed seemed to get bigger and bigger since ive been with him - he totllay does mind because he loves me to death and whne i told him about this he was like "WHY! dont do that!" But i want it for me the most! I know i have an inner skinny person and they want out!
