eight days out of being banded and starting to get hungry especially eating alot of soups but still losing weight never had to to take any pain meds but including the 10 pre op diet and the eight day post op banding i have lost the weight in my opinon way too fast, 41 pounds in 18 days thats not right is it?

My Doctor Dont Know It I Was Just Asking About Eating This Early. I Dont Know That Tuna Salad Is A Solid But I Chewed Up Into Mush Before Swallowing It. And Not Over A Tablespoon Total.

I Have Been Doing Great Went Back To Work Friday And Now Today I Am Starting To Get Hungry For Something Other Than Protein Drinks I Ate A Little Tuna Salad About A Tablespoon Full And That Did The Trick I Fell Ok,now I Am Pushing It To Fast To Try To Eat That Kind Of Stuff To Early. Last Night I Ate Melted Velvetta Cheese With Rotel Tomatoes And Eat About Two Ounces Of That With No Pain And The Hunger Went Away I Need Some Of You Seasoned Banders Comments On This. Thanks In Advanced Its Been 3 Days Since The Band Was Placed.

was prepared for the worst because I can't eat a lot, so I didn't think it was esophageal dilation. But I have a very tempermental band. Say the wrong thing to me at dinner and it closes up like a virgin on prom night. The net results of that happening a lot would be esophageal dilation, of course. YES CARLENE I CAN RELATE TO THAT ABOVE, GOOD COMPARISON THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN BANDED A WHILE AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS YOUR FIRST REAL PROBLEM SINCE BEING BANDED AND WOULD LIKE UPDATES ON YOUR PROGRESS SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE AND I APPRIECIATE YOU SHARING IT WITH US THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!!

Still No Hunger Yet Must Be Still Pretty Swollen Inside Never Went This Long With Out Eating Something. For Me I Lifted Up My Shirt In Fornt Of A Mirror And They Shaved My Chest From My Pectoral Down To My Privates Looks Very Weird. Ugly Matter Of A Fact.
