  6. Hope your better now
  7. I'm am officially now 6 weeks out an I had alot of the same feelings . I'm a big cooker for all my family an have the in laws over alot to eat so I know how hard this is an you ALL aren't alone in your feelings this is a process we all go through I have trouble not being able to taste the food that in serving that is frustrating to me, but you got to drill it in your head that you did this for a reason an it will be a mind over matter fight everyday because we are all used to our brain thinking one way about food an we are trying to change this. Food is an addiction an like a addict ( I'm guessing never had any addictions) I am learning everyday I can beat the battle, hang in there don't give up yet after day 3 it get better everyday
  8. My nut told me the something about high calories and for a couple weeks this was all I wanted. Also if you have a Taco Bell in your area the pintoes and cheese are good and cheap

  18. I agree !! When I'm able to get on mine it's very much different than the mobile an btw ..... I enjoy reading your replies on different post
  19. I had my first full couple weeks ago an it's didnt hurt at all just alittle poke feeling from the needle I wa very scared but it was a breeze, my doc use an X-ray when you drink the barium to see how much to put in I got 2cc so far I'm feeling pretty satisfied but everyone is very different I've lost 27 lbs since preop march 19th. No worries you will do fine . Hope this helped some
  20. I was banded April 2 so I'm alittle ahead if some of you all an I am just say after reading alot of your post everything is very normal the way y'all are feeling. I at day 3 began dry heaving non stop everyone I lifted my head up or moved it was HORRIBLE an I honestly thought I wa dying nothing at all was coming up never have I experienced this. I called the doc an had to go in he had to remove some of the pre fluid that was in the band I had hernia repair an I guess it was all so swelled inside after this no more issues. I found the chewable gas x was better than the strips (just my opinion ) I am now with my fist fill which was 2cc an so far so good, hang in there things will get better I promise even though rigt now your probly wondering what on earth have I done to myself !!!
  21. Hoping you all feel better real soon. Was banded april 2 an it seems like it has taken forever to get back to normal I'm almost there. Hang in there I promise everyday is better an better
  22. Sounds like your right on track glad things are going ok for you
  23. I am loosing an pretty much staying satisfied was. Banded April 2 so I am kinda wondering the same question if I really need another fill at this point.
