Hi everyone. I was banded 12-12-12. Was just wondering if this group is still together. I live a little south of DALLAS. Had surg done at true results in Richardson. Go for first fill on the 10 th of jan. I'm so ready for a fill I have no restriction at all. Is anyone else going thru this???

Hey all I got banded on the 21 I'm 7 days post op I need support to like most I'm anxious and scared of failure and complications. I want to be successful so encouragement is welcomed

You will do great. I was scared at first too. I'm 16 days post op and I'm doing good. I'm 56 yrs old and felling back to normal. I follow my dr orders and work it!!! I just started on mushies and dang food taste good!!! Glad u did well and don't be anxious. It's all gonna b ok!!!!

Welcome. I too am a new bander as of 12-12-12. U can't believe every word u read. I found out the hard way. U have to do as your dr tells you and especially what your body tells you. There r a lot of good tips on here but u do what u feel is best for you. There's a lot of seasoned banders on here but it's their bodies not yours. I'm not by any means being mean. And I read all the post but I do what's best for me. WELCOME AND CONGRATS!!! U will do great!!!

It will get better. It's been 10 days since my surg and I still have some shoulder pain a little. But the first few days were BAD. I did all the above and it all helped. Hang in there!!!

Oh I sure don't wanna start on liquids again. These past 10 days have bout killed me. I'm not screwing this up !!!

If you are new to this' date=' stretching your pouch can only be done by eating too fast, too much and not chewing. You will be having a major stuck episode and the pain would be excruciating. Stretching your pouch usually takes weeks and months of disobeying the rules.

If you are new to this, you probably do not have any restriction and your portal is wide open. I could eat anything I wanted the first 3 months. And sometimes I did. But the food passes through the portal into your lower stomach, not stretching your pouch.

No I hope I have not. I'm still on liquids. It just came to my mind and just asked. Oh heaven NO I'm doing exactly what the dr told me too. It was just a silly thing that came to my head!!!

I know this may b a really dumb question. But if you stretch out your new pouch then can u not eat for a day or two and it go back to small again???

Hey I'm a newby' date=' I was banded on the 18th and this liquid diet is killing me...lol, the gas is a pain as well.[/quote']

I know how u feel. Trust me it will soon end. It took me about 7 days to get the gas all out today is day 9 and I'm feeling really good today. Few more days and u will b fine. Hang in there!!

I was banded 12-12-12. I'm starting to feel almost normal again. The gas pains are almost all gone. As far as the bathroom thing... I had to finally take some milk of magnesium and it worked like a charm. I feel 100% better after I got that part moving again. It even released all the gas in my shoulder. Know it may sound crazy but it feels great. Of course I called dr to ask if I could take it and I'm glad I did. From my PRE op diet till today I'm down 20 lbs !!!

i am 3 days post op too,, can only have broths and pudding, ,, no Soups until after week 2,,,, but i figured out if i put a little garlic in my chicken broth, ,i can eat it im already tired of sweet stuff,,, Protein Shakes are sweet ,,, pudding sweet.. popsicle sweet of course all are sf but i want a little sallt.... but am ready for some of nicole Soup, ,, sounds good

I was banded on 12-12-12. My dr said tiny sips with food is fine. But this 3x a day shake is about to kill me. I can barely get n 2. But I'm sipping broths and baby foods. So far so good. Just want the GAS PAINS to stop uhhh

Had my surg yesterday 12/12/12. It went well. Had hernia repair also. But this gas is a @:; it's in my left shoulder. I walk a lot. Use GASX and drink lots of Water. And use heating pad. So glad when this part is over.
