Hi everyone, I'm new to the board, was banded on Feb 16 although it still seems rather surreal. Until I start to drink something and the gas pains double me over! I am hoping to get a handle on my eating habits. I have yo-yoed all my life. After losing over 75 lbs 2 years ago, I started stress eating again, and gained back 30 lbs. I hope this is the answer, not only to lose the 40 lbs till my goal, but to MAINTAIN it in a healthy way. _______________ banded Feb 16 '07 Dr Yau, Toronto, Ont

Hi Everyone, Three days post-op, pain is getting much better, but serious gas pain after eating. Feeling very hungry! I see so many different times for different foods. Are creamed soups ok this first week? Went for a 30 min walk the day after surgery, but find that inconceivable today! Ouch. Anyone else started their exercise regime yet? I find the port site to be the most tender, with actual protrusion, rather scary, but when I checked with the Dr office, they said to give it a month, as post-op swelling is most likely responsible.
