  3. I guess my problem is I would rather eat during the day when I'm active verses late at night when I'm resting.
  4. I'm not bloated and the swelling is minimal at night. I feel like I can eat a whole cup of soup.
  5. So here's my issue....during the day I have a hard time drinking or eating. I feel really bloated or just full. I'm 11 days post op and I'm on thick liquids. I usually start my day with a Muscle milk protein shake 8.25oz 100 calories. I never finish it in one setting. I sip a bottle of water for hours. My next meal would be some type of soup. I measure it in 1/4cup containers. I usually have some left over and feel extremely stuffed afterwards. After about an hour I start sipping that same bottle of water. I may try more soup 4 hours later same story can't get it down. On e I go to bed around 9pm I alsaays wake up extremely hungry. My stomach is t bloated the swelling feels monimumal at this time I can finish a whole bottle of water in the matter of minutes. What causes this or do anyone else have this problem
  6. I tried Gas X but it didn't do much I recommend Plum Smart its 100% juice I like to drink it warm and then my husband and I be in competition on who can pass the most gas lol (what a way to bond) my doctor prescribe liquid pain meds so no pill crusher needed
  7. Thanks ladies! Sometimes I feel hungry so I sip a cup a water then I realize I'm actually hungry not just thirsty. So I wasn't for sure if I should just wait or go ahead and try eating
  8. Ok so I understand I shouldn't eat and drink I also know no drinking for 30-60 minutes after eating. So what about drinking before eating?

  16. I was banded Thursday and the only thing getting to me is the gas. I've tried everything I was told but still nothing helps. What makes it do painful is when I get a gas bubble that wants to come up as a burp it moves to the left side of my neck and it hurts like hell. It almost make me want to stick a tube in my neck to let the air come out! Hang in there we can do it! There are many before us and many to come.

  23. I just had my procedure done Thursday yay! But now that my tummy is swelling I'm observing a little leakage from some of my incision. Is this normal and how long with this last
  24. I was banded Thursday and I have a post opt diet to follow no solids for three weeks. Thin liquids first week, thick liquids second week, mushers third week. I drink Muscle Milk protein shakes they're delicious especially the cookies and cream.
  25. Congrats! I was banded yesterday. All went well but my tummy is swelling today. Lets keep in touch
