Hello everyone! Haven't been on here in months!!! I was banded January 25th 2013 and last time I checked ( need new batteries for my scale lol ) I was down 45lbs...am I being stubborn for thinking this is slower process than I thought ? lol :S well that being said... im having a REALLY hard time eating....I am sliming almost all the time... at least once a day... I do have 4 young children and am on the go all the time and so I wonder if its just first bite syndrome every time ? or if I should go get defiled a little.. but I went in for a 2nd fill because I plateaued for like 3 months :S.... hope yall are doing well!!! excited to get back on here and start reading how everyone is doing and look at the pics! God bless !

i started solids today and i definately over did it trial and error i guess ) my husband brought me a small chicken shawarma for lunch and i thought i was taking my time... i didn't eat all of it but afterwards and up until now (3 hours later) and im still hurting like chest area? has this happened to anyone? and i keep belching... like a lot!!!!! (tmi sorry) any tips on how to know when youre full without feeling that full feeling?!!?

hello everyone! i was banded on january 25th and have lost 21lbs so far since the pre-op diet recovery is going well.. gas pain all gone thank goodness and just began the mushies stage..... tonight for some reason i am in great pain on my left side....not where my port is but further back.. when i breathe in its a killer i am getting worked up on googling stuff to see what this could possibly be... so i decided to come on here and ask ya'll for your help before rushing to the emergency(my anxiety takes toll of me so im just trying to calm myself ) .... has anyone ever had this???

curvy i was getting that too and annie is right.. water!!!! drink drink drink! how are ya'll ladies doing ? seems like it's been a bit ? ...

Thank you and no I haven't been given Zantec or Colace? Whats it for exactly?

speaking of pizza.... i am 7 days post op and my husband just ordered pizza..... i had a mushroom soup... its so hard but im very surprised at how well i am handling it... i even served it to them! with dipping sauce and pop.....aaaaahhh so i came to hide in my office to eat lol but thanks for sharing ashchap13 so now we have great ideas!!!

silver5 i feel that way sometimes too but this is just the beginning... stay positive!!!

My stomach started growling yesterday and this morning even worse... I am also so done with this liquid diet! Lol i still have some pain in my left shoulder as well..hope u ladies have a good day!

so im 5 days post-op and the first 5 days i wasn't sure if i was even hungry or if eating was just a habit... i felt like i didnt know what to do with myself... did anyone else feel like this? so i sipped on liquids like 24/7.....now on day 5 post op... my tummy is rumbling.... im still drinking lots but it's really annoying right now... what to do to help???

i got banded 5 days ago and like 2-3 days after i start.... i had massive cramping so that didnt help how i was feeling at all!! im glad to know it passes

Congrats!!! the gas pain in a PAIN but walk walk and heat worked for me!! 5 days post- op here and feeling much better!!
