I'm with ya! I had surgery on 2-6-12 and I lost about 20 pounds on the liquid diet. I got my first "fill" on 2-20-12 and I don't feel any restriction either! My doctor told me he was just giving me a little bit of saline but now I've gained 4 pounds since I started eating the mushy foods! It's pretty discouraging . . . I just feel SO hungry all the time now - I don't get it

I was banded on Monday 2/6/12 and I have been STARVING!! For some reason I feel like I'm more hungry AFTER the surgery then before when I was on the 2 week liquid diet with my normal stomach! I don't get it. I do seem to get filled faster, but then it's like I'm starving only 2-3 hours later. I'm guessing that, yes, we get that "full feeling" quicker, but we need to eat/drink more frequently because our stomach is now so small? I have no idea. I can't wait for my follow up appointment so I can get these questions answered - because I have NO IDEA what's going on down there!!!

I had nausea 2 days after my surgery. I called my doctor RIGHT AWAY to get a prescription called in. He couldn't give me anything oral, for the fear that I wouldn't keep it down. but he did give me a suppository (yikes!) to insert for the nausea. I never used a suppository before and was freaking out. But, it was actually very easy to use and worked right away! Good luck!

Thank you LBT!! I will take your advice!!

Hey Guys- I am FREAKING OUT right now! I just had my band put on yesterday, Feb. 6th, 2012. So . . . I did really well on my pre-op liquid diet. When I went in for surgery yesterday, I was down 14 pounds and soooo happy! So, I get home today and I decide to get on the scale since I was just eating ice chips for the past 2 days. And the scale showed that I GAINED 10 pounds! What the HECK is that? Is that Fluid? Please somebody talk to me and tell me that it's normal so I don't give up on this whole process! How discouraging!! Thanks, Cakes

I'm getting banded on Feb. 6th so I'm right with ya, Yolie!

Hello! My surgery is scheduled Feb. 6th, 2012, so I am right behind you!! I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet, so things are getting a little better since I've lost some of my appetite! I kinda feel like I might puke if I have to eat more jello or eat another shake! I'm trying to come up with some creative ideas for this liquid diet, but no success so far! I just joined this website tonight and it's great to see what other people have to say about this! Keep me posted on how you're doing!!
