My doctor told me "fluids only for the first two days after a fill and the sliders on the third day". Your doc should have told you this also. I hope you feel better soon.

Surgery November 19th, I went back to work, daycare, 8 days later and felt fine, until a baby kicked my at my port. Hurt like hell but I was fine. It took me three Weeks to feel normal though. I do, however, still have excessive burping and gas and I hurt if I don't eat. Hold luck to you in your journey. xxx

I must add...I also have HYPOTHYROIDISM (for several years). This may slow my weight loss too IDK. It doesn't change the fact that I'm bummed for not losing.

Thank you so much for your help everyone. Despite what anyone may think...I'm doing as I'm suppose to. I didn't struggle thru Thanksgiving and I won't thru Christmas...I have the willpower because this is so important to me in my life. I didn't have a major eating problem before I had this done, but felt it would aid me in "eating" altogether...which I don't like to eat or take the time. That was my issue and it's as bad as overeating. I'm only hurting myself if I don't do right or lie about it. Noone else will suffer... Thanks again

I have been doing my Protein shakes still because I'm not much of a meat eater. I have chicken and fish but not so much lately. I eat slowly and get full fast, only to be starving a couple of hours later. My hunger pangs hurt even before I realize I'm starving to death. I will admit I've not been doing much extra exercise because my incisions weren't healing properly. I was afraid. After reading others posts, I'm a little upset with myself...

Had my surgery on November 19th and have only lost about 3lbs. I have a10cc band and no fill at time of surgery. I lust more weight before surgery, 7lbs in two Weeks. I don't eat anymore now than I did the two Weeks before surgery. I'm at a loss. I feel like I'm starving 2 hours after I've eaten. I'm not discouraged. I'm just unsure of what to expect and why I'm not losing weight.
