I guess my problem is I would rather eat during the day when I'm active verses late at night when I'm resting.

I'm not bloated and the swelling is minimal at night. I feel like I can eat a whole cup of soup.

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

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

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

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?

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.

ok thanks

So there shouldn't be any? It's not draining but I do see a little under the little strips

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

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.

Congrats! I was banded yesterday. All went well but my tummy is swelling today. Lets keep in touch

Thanks I been up for hours just thinking about today. My surgery is at 8:30 this morning. Super excited!

Who's your doctor?

Thanks my surgery is tomorrow. Dr. Reilly is my doctor also ???„ I'm super excited. Do he always use a 10cc band?

Thanks Minimi! Did you go through True Results in Houston

Do you get a fill the day of surgery or start with just the band? Also do you schedule your first fill the day of surgery? If so how many weeks later.

I'm a December bandit! Dec 6th I'm so excited

Thanks! Today I woke up extremely nervous. I can't believe how fast time flys. I'm super hungry and the Protein shakes with on meal is not cutting it. How can I make my shakes more filling?

Hi! I'm new to the site and my surgery date is Dec 6th. I'm super excited and looking for new friends to help me along my journey
