Do you only feel like this with a fill? I'm a few weeks out no fill yet not until April 9th, I'm actually still on soft foods and I don't feel like this at all. I could prob eat everything but I'm watching until I get a fill, do theses 1/2 cup meals happen with a fill or when you hit your sweet spot?? Please tell me I should not be feeling like this is with no fill?? lol I can say I prob do eat less then I use to but I can eat way more then 1/2 cup ( this is with no fill yet) April 9th 1st fill!

I wish I saw this earlier I will buy steri-strips at CVS tomorrow. Thanks so much everyone for your input always!! I love this board. And I'm sorry for my post I read it back and I could hardly read it. lol Its hard for me to type on my phone... Anyway , thanks all!

My strips were almost off on there own and when I pulled one off after my shower I noticed that only one was not closed and open its small and I don't think I need to call the Dr or anything ( I see him Monday) almost like a cut its pink and watery SORRY FOR TMI My kids get bigger cuts then this.. I just put a band-aide on it . It was not the big incision but one of the smaller ones. Maybe he will put a stitch in it or just use a butterfly band aid. anyone have this happen?? I'm only two weeks post op on Tuesday.

I would like to know this also. The cream soups really add up on calories.. What is the correct amount??

Thank you for posting this. I'm 8 days out and I have seen more positive post then negative but the negative ones I do question. Some of them only have a few post never a pic etc.. I'm 8 days out last week it took me two days to finish a bottle of water and a jello, well today no problem there I'm so glad I have this board and wonderful people to guide and help me on my journey!

Shakey88, I noticed your page and you have never had a fill?? That's wonderful!! and you lost over 110 pounds truly amazing!!... I just got banded 8 days ago. Also I'm from NJ ,Ocean County I see you have NJ bandsters group?? Can I join? I love the egg whites idea!! Can you stop at one?? Anyone?? Can you eat just one a day?? lol..

go look at the before and after pic of everyone on that thread. When I want to cheat or find it very hard I look at them and they give me the strength!

I noticed with me as well that a lot of it is my old ways me thinking i'm hungry because I'm bored, happy, sad favorite show on tv, no kids home . hang in there try the cream soups they do fill you up. I have only been able to eat half a can

today i'm a week out and hungry... the small things like broth, jello are just not cutting it for me anymore.. I will do my best to stay strong as I see the scale moving. Just hang in there drink water, eat jello, I'm allowed on have cream soup now that helps a bit. Good luck!

yum.. I'm only a week out but counting the days......!

to be honest most of us have family's to feed each and every night . I'm not sure what your story is but most of us have to feed kids and our husbands ( i know my husband could care less about recipes) but if I can make something I can eat with my family that would be awesome especially if its low cal/low fat.. I usually eat something different at different times!

when I went to ww years ago we did this and if it wanted to eat something we should not we would snap it.. lol

amazing story.. I kinda wish I knew that little girl and could also help but we all make mistakes,etc and its who we are today.. Congrats on such an amazing loss. Keep it up!!!

I just had a baby spoon taste as I'm on full liquids now but heaven!!

THANK YOU GOD!!!!

I'm not on mushies yet but I'm on full liquids. low fat cream soups, sugar free pudding, yogurt, etc....

I'm only banded a week but my dr said anything you can cut with fork.. HTH

What are slider foods? Is there a list on here to help me?? I just got banded on the 6th and so new to all this.. I'm still on broth and jello-o

tomorrow I will be one week post-op I can't believe how fast it went and to be honest I'm loving my band already. I feel a lot of resection with no fill ( each day I can add a bit more), I know its mostly due to swelling but I will take it! I can move on to creams, SF pudding, tofu , etc... What are you guys eating anything fun, ?? I can't wait to get some sweet and sour Soup and eat the tofu!

did you lose 72lbs in one month??? If you did or not congrats!! amazing... I'm glad you asked this question also it makes me want to stay away from pasta and rice. I just made pasta and meat sauce for the family and I can't stop going over and smelling it...

Thanks everyone!! I love this board and you guys!! SO helpful!!

so is this feeling normal?? My stomach is hungry but I dont' want to try to get anything in because of the discomfort and tightness above. I kinda feel like my top half is not hungry and the bottom of my stomach is ??? I know odd, sorry... lol

btw, if my jersey friends don't mind I wrote a post on General Discussion that I would love an answer too. Thanks!

I'm in Jackson, NJ Ocean County. I got banded on March 9th. Newbie..
