Thanks!! I'm going to drink something warm tomorrow morning hopefully it'll work!

Omg Help!! I just got my first fill last week plus I had some fluid put in at the time of surgery...so now I have 3 1/2 ccs in my band...why do I feel so tight in the morning at my first meal but than at night I feel like I have no restriction!!??

Thanks to the both of you...really helped me out to know it's all normal!

I'm officially 6 weeks post-op and I have NO RESTRICTION!!..I mean if I eat too fast I get a stuck feeling but other than that everything goes down!...not to mention I shouldn't even be on full solids...but I guess a part of me is taking advantage...and that's what scares me.

I'm definitely going to give it a try.but first I'ma let a few days go by to see if it stops...this too shall pass right.

Phew good to know it happened to someone else but why does it happen? Do u by any.chance know?

No I was moved onto the mushie stage before discharge.

I'm day 3 post op and that happened to me this morning...I drank some water and it continued so I made my self 1 scrambled egg (with PAM no oil) and not even half an egg later the growling stopped...I think it's normal considering last time I ate was 6-7 pm yesterday.

Hey everyone, so I'm day 3 post op, I'm a bit sore which is expected...nothing unbearable...however...is diarrhea normal? Sorry for TMI but I've gotta know if this is happening to anyone else, I'm really trying to avoid antibiotics. HELP!

Tomorrow is my special day as well....it just doesn't seem real!!...Good luck to everyone tomorrow..let's kick some butt! =-)

I took phentermine once before considering lapband and it was horrible...I felt high, went a whole day without feeling hungry, fast heartbeat, cotten mouth....I can see how people would lose weight but its really not healthy...

@joannedt- hmmm you might have a point, I thought about that and if that's the case...WHAT TORTURE!! LOL. But that's good because not only am I preparing physically but mentally as well.

Thanks for your best wishes!! Let's get ready to kick some butt!!

Ending day 10 as faithful as ever...I must admit I'm starving!! But super proud of myself!!

Those Sf popsicles have been lifesavers!!

Thank you guys...you are truly awesome and helpful!!

Getting banded on Monday June 25th!! Excited and scared (read my last post haha) just wondering what kind of things should I have handy after surgery,I don't want to be a burden on my boyfriend and have him running around for me..I already have a pill splitter, thermometer, applesauce....and well that's about it....Help!!!

Omg!! Yess!! Right on point!!

You have no idea how much better you just made me feel!!...It's really hard plus you learn a lot about yourself and the relationship you have led with food and that can be pretty scary...but I'm sure you're right...just gotta stay on track

Day 9 of my pre op diet and its sad to notice how dependant one was to food...its everywhere!!...I must admit I've cheated a couple times and every time I felt worse...it's like I have this out of body experience...please someone tell me this has happened to them!!...plus now I'm even more nervous about surgery day, what if my liver is still too big...my surgery is June 25th and I've followed the pre op diet about 80% of the time...HELP!!!
