It is unfortunately a pain that will subside but will come back from time to time. I have been banded for over two years now and still feel pain in my port area. It's okay to touch if you feel it will help. At this early stage in your progression to weight loss, I would use an ice pack to help with the pain. You will be fine. Don't worry. It is a normal feeling. Good luck.

Donna you go girl u look awesome and I can are in your face ur happy and that's what counts

If u haven't had the fill yet and the swelling went sown from surgery say 1mo passed then soft food u can eat and eat. Because once the swelling goes down the pouch is open till the fill

Ladies hang in there it will get better. NYE is around the corner I am liquiding it whole day tomorrow and Monday. Xmas was a mess and I have a feeling with all the cooking I am bound to slip on NYE. Might as well punish myself ahead if time

8-10am-I was sipping Water
10am-4oz of primier shake
1030-1230-water ice chips

Seems not enough and I am starving or is it gas

Lovely,
First advice remember we are not starving. Just because we forget our food automatically we think we are hungry. Just calm down and think. We all go t through this..... and most important relax.

Most places sell slim fast shakes which is better than nothing. Although nothing works too... I did it once... and drank Water all day. I was fine but I dont advise it.
Are you able to have solids? If so just go easy with a protien snack or bar. If not is there a place to get some Soup?
You will keep extra one in your desk from now I bet.

Most convenient stores sell Protein shakes now.
I know that doesn't help much if you can't leave work.
Also, if you can eat and there is a Chinese delivery in your area, a stir fry with veggies works in a pinch too. Just tell them meat and veggies with no other oils.

Congrats. Hope your doing well besides the liquids. Your band maybe too tight in hear that's one thing. I also tried sport drinks sugar free. We should be on pure liquids now but my menu is so short. Only says far free puding yogurt cream Soups very nasty in cans cream of wheat farina. Skim milk that's about it for the next 10 days. I hope I can survive.

I was a none insulin dependent diabetic but well controlled on Metformin. I left the hospital off of that med and one of my BP meds. I am very stable but am very careful about sugar intake. Read your labels, especially with the Protein Shakes and bars. I exercise 3-4 times daily. My last A1c was 5.6. I am feeling great. This is only with 27lbs off. Hang in there. You will get it under control.

Me too girl I am scared and exited but we deserve this and everything will go smooth. Giving up smoking and food at the same time is double the hit but if I can do this I can do anything.

Getting banded on Monday who's with me
