My doc has me on soft foods for a month. Cream of wheat, yogurt, soup, tuna salad, cottage cheese, etc.Congrats Julie!I'm also day 6 and back at work. let me tell you i am TIRED. I miss my afternoon diet coke before surgery to be honest (oh well). I also miss taking naps at home for the last week LOL. My pain isnt bad. just some port/ab muscle soreness and some soreness at my belly button (i had SILS). oevrall i am not eating much, but i am just enjoying the fact that Im not hungry because i know it will change. i have a follow up on Thursday with my doc.Could u be dehydrated? Have u been getting all ur fluids in?See if your doc can place a low profile port. Then it will be even less visible after you lose weight. Also, I got SILS (single incision surgery) which means 1 scar in my belly button, so no one will be able to see it! I had lapband with plication May 29.It does sound like gas, but if you're nervous, maybe call your doc first thing in the morning?Lol me too!I'm an post op day 5 and today is the first day I can drink more easily. Eating is still hard and I got full after 3 oz of cottage cheese.Good luck bama. It sounds like you're fine now. Totally true about old habits!It's rough. For me, I went to the movies to pass time. You can do it!Will the pouch shrink now that you've had the unfill and had to start over?I'm still not hungry (banded 5/29 too) but I think it's normal. I'm just trying to get all my liquids in. It's only been 4 days since surgery so I'm not worried. Did you eat when you got hungry? I'm sure you can only eat a small amount.I was banded May 29. I also have a mini goal of losing 20+ lbs by Aug 1. I'm following doc's instructions and keeping my fingers crossed!I was supposed to be outpatient, but then 2 weeks before surgery, my doc changed me to be overnight at the hospital. I am SO glad I stayed overnight. The meds were better and I felt better prepared to go home.It shouldn't hurt. I used a heating pad, but then I was sweating so I stopped loli cant wait to sleep on my stomach...but i'm not rushing anythingWhy can't we take a laxative pill? Everyone suggests MoM or benefiber or other things, but not a regular laxative in pill form. I was just banded Tuesday, so I'm still new!Are you sure it's not gas? I was banded on Tuesday. I've been having a range of feelings. Sometimes I don't know if it's hunger or not.
