  1. Are you on the clear liquids or thicker liquids? Mushies is the third stage before solids.
  2. It is gas. Use the heating pad for relief!
  3. It is definitely trapped gas. I used to use my heating pad on my back too!
  4. Peppermint is good for stomach cramps, diarrhea, and gas! Great herbal remedy!
  5. Banded on 12/14. Lost 39 lbs. get first fill 2/11. Am starting to get hungry now. I just entered "bandster hell". Cannot wait for my fill! Not losing weight but losing inches!
  6. You need to sip liquid even if you don't want to. It gets better tomorrow!
  7. Call your surgeon right away. Can be incisional hernia, cyst, or fluid pocket. I would go to ER!
  8. Are you taking pain meds? Sometimes these make you nauseous. If you aren't ask your Dr, for something for nausea! Vomiting right now is not good. If it continues, go to ER!
  9. I went to Kohl's today and was surprised at the big selection of good shapewear. Expensive shareware upto 60% off! I purchased two camisoles at $18.00 each!
  10. Yes you can see the difference! You look good!
  11. Your day is coming up soon! Good luck and keep me posted! You are highly blessed. It will go fine! I was banded 12/14, have had no fills yet and have lost 38 Lbs! God bless!
  12. You need to ^ the protein, take a vitamin and drink more broth! I had that problem, I even wanted to black out in the shower! Don't worry you'll survive!
  13. I was banded on 12/14 and have lost 38 pounds so far. I do get very hungry in the afternoons but I drink plenty of water and keep busy. I also struggle with deciding how much to eat. I make sure I eat only 1/2 cup of food (although I know I could eat lots more!) 3 times a day. I don't get my first fill until 2/11 and keeping mind over hunger! It is sometimes a struggle but I will not let hunger take over again! I also walk a mile 5 times a week! I don't want to sag, I'm 55!
  14. Banded 12/14 down 38. Will get first fill 2/11. Walking 1 mile a day!
  15. I can blow up a balloon easily (If I tried!). Especially after exercise!
  16. It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra!
  17. Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home!
  18. Me too! Never Heras of it adjusting it self. Look at the procedure on YouTube!
