Today is the 1week mark....had surgery last thursday and the gas has finally let up a little bit ,gas x didnt Work for me.at all but phazine worked great and is really good going down ....STILL not allowed to eat.real food yet but the protien shakes are a real help .....just got off the scale and ive already lost 24 lbs .....man i.hope it keeps comming off ....all tis has.been possible.because.of the people on here and watching their do's and dont's....thanks everyone

As far as he pain ...its just bending down to pick something up or sudden moves other than that not much pain anymore .......as far as the gas ,most of the surgical gas is gone i believe but,,with all the protien shakes the other gas is actually very relieving at times ..but another few weeks of shakes and soon mushy foods then onto regular foods .....and MORE WIEGHT LOSS......and EXERSIZE.....cant wait to be able to firm up as well as loss weight

Its really funny what we are.looking forwards to....a month ago i would have laughed at mushy food but now i say .....pretty please no more shakes.....lol

Does this salsa add any more gas.....lol

5 days post op and bending down to.tie my shoes is OUT for a few more days ....it does hurt to bend down...everyone ive talked to sais that will go away soon .......and its also because there is alot of gas in our stomachs still

I am banded as well as my wife as a support thing for both of us ....when one of us are feeling down the other one is there to support .......there are many support groups that have alot of people just begging for someone to share their day and friendship with .....maybe you can get to a support group and find a real good friend their as a start ...........i am a 44 year old man that always ate what i wanted for all the goofy reasons ....but now i am banded and only missing a few foods ......i have my lap bandbuddy ....get one for you too.....goodluck and keep your chin held HIGH........

Banded on the 22nd of march .......5 days into this post op..and i can watch the gas bubble moving around in my stomach ...took gasex and that kinda worked but need advice on what would be stronger and of course band safe
