  1. Hello everyone! I just had my Surgery 06/13/2013. I am so excited to start my new journey:)
  2. You are all so very helpful:) I love this site!
  3. Thanks so very much for the info! You get so many conflicting information from the diet plan/surgeon/book. I am told to drink nothing but clear liquids, but I was also told to drink protein shakes. I have some and will be starting on those today:) The gas is getting better, and I have been sleeping with a body pillow which helps. Again thanks very much:)
  4. It is so unreal to hear that someone is having the same exact feelings that I am, glad to not be alone:) I too am going to the store today for some light walking around. I also feel the pressure in the back and chest.
  5. Let us know how the doc appointment goes. I just had my band placed on Thursday the 13th, I too have bad gas pains, honestly not able to burp, I wish that I could, I have been using the Gas x strips and getting up as much as possible. I have found that sleeping with a body pillow hugging my belly and laying on one side or the other gives relief and allows me to sleep at night. Good luck:)
  6. I was just banded myself on Thursday:) Good Luck girl! I too am really gassy, yuck! It hurts, but I keep walking, talking gas meds and the pain meds help me sleep at night.

  8. Hello Everyone! I am brand new to the band. I just received my band on 06/13/2013 at 9am. I am having a very rough go at this, not because of the food thing, but boy the gas pains have taken me for a ride. I can't burp no matter what I do, so needless to say it is slowly coming from the other area, which I don't mind, but I would love to just be able to burp, LOL. So I am stopping in to say hello to everyone and ask for advice and what to do here? What I mean is that I really don't know what to expect? I have read the materials like I have watched my favorites movies over and over again, but I just want to make sure that I am doing what I am supposed to do. I go back to my surgeon in July for my first visit, what will happen there? I have been only drinking liquids, I have had very little broth as I just don't want anything yet and a small amount of sugar-free jello, LOTS of water and tea with sweetener versus real sugar. I would really appreciate anyone's and all input
