Just know its temporary and trust yourself. I got sick and vomited. This is the time to learn what your body can and can't handle.

I had the same problem. The stomach pain stopped me and I had to wait for it to pass.... I was miserable. I stopped the liquids and Protein Shakes earlier than I was supposed to and started mushy food. Foods such as, cottage cheese, soft cheeses, scrambled eggs, etc and the pain went away. My pain was the gas in my stomach and not feeling satisfied with the shakes. Everyone is different and only you will know what your body can handle. Now I eat anything I want and make sure I chew it up very well. I avoid soda and fatty foods. Anything I can chew good enough I'll have but my portions are very small. You'll do great just trust yourself!! :-)

When you get on real food the hunger goes away. I eat or drink every 2 hours... That's just when I get hungry so it works out well...lol. We are still newly banded... Hopefully the weight just falls off!!!

Yes I have both. It was a hard recovery bc liquids of all kind bothered me...lol. Now I'm on soft to solid food and I'm down 17 lbs.

Alex... Did you do plication with it? I was banded 3weeks ago today. It gets better!!

Thanks

Thanks guys... I'm going to call the doctor today. :-/

Got banded 8/9/12 and today I've been burping a lot. It almost feels like indigestion and is a ill painful. Is this normal??

Thank you so much.... I cant take in that much though. I think I can start the shakes now but I'll never finish an 8 oz drink. Did you have that problem??

Heyyyy.... I was banded 8/9/12 and weighed 324.5 today 8/13/12 I weight 309.7... Down 15 pounds and thrilled. I love my band and hoping to do better when I can get back to the gym. :-D

Finally the day has come..... Just got the call...Tom at 530 I have to be there. So excited and scared:-)

I had mine removed a long time ago and I'm glad.... The attacks knocked me to the ground. Good luck to you guys... The recovery is nothing... Mostly the gas pain.

That's great..... I go in Aug 9th.... I'm just praying nothing goes wrong from now till then.... That's my anxiety right now...lol. Other nerves with kick in tomorrow when I get the final call..... I hope...lol!!!!

Thanks NWgirl... You look amazing!!!!!! Congrats!!!!

I can't view profiles..... I wonder why? :-(

Heyyyy, does anyone have pictures? Before and after and time frames? That always motivates when I see that. I get banded Aug 9 (3 days) and my nerves are shot...lol.

Awesome.... How much did you lose??

You're very lucky.... The apnea test was torture...lol.

Heyyyyy.... I'm on Long Island and will be banded Aug 9,2012. My doctor is Dr. Geiss. My mind hasn't stop racing. I love reading the weight loss success stories!!! Congrats to all of you!! Xoxo.
