I was banded on the 11 and I too can eat anything I do not think I have anything in my band. I go for first full aug 21... I am young and think I heed quick and I also didn't have any hernia repairs. Congrats!!

Face and upper back .. Just bloating is go e I have Edema so my wrists ankles and feet were always puffy now not so much

Yes burping hiccuping and farting is normal... Try activated charcoal at Walgreens helps with gas better than gas x.. I'm 16 days post op and still have some gas

I am going to purchase some protein at Walmart today. I came to my boyfriends and forgot my protein... Also finally slept on both my sides last night and woke up with zero back pain.... I mean after over 2 weeks it was about time my poor back got a rest! Still a little gassy but I'd rather that than a sore back anyway. My sides are a little sore but not that bad.... So far down 16 pounds woot woot!!!

Finally slept on my side for a little bit! My back is slowly feeling less sore! Yay

Yes it was weird it like absorbed the gas yet I didn't burp or fart.... I farted like crazy with the gas x strips. I took like 6 strips at a time. I also would sit with my legs bent it made it easier to fart without having to push cause that hurt my belly. The charcoal was 10 bucks at Walgreens and found it near gas x it's called charco caps. Walgreens was the only place I could find it

Just looked it up activated charcoal can cause black stool

That's what I was wondering everything was going great then gas came back. I also had a bm and it was black. I looked it up and it said blood but since then my stomach and gas have been feeling better. I also have been taking the activated charcoal. Any thoughts? Also me scale hasn't moved and I'm frustrated!!

Congrats... Ya idt I even ate for 3 days so you're fine!!

Bill does it still keep you full never though you're only drinking 2 oz instead of 8... I know the protein is what keeps you full but still just curious. How did it taste and what flavor do you prefer?

14 days post op... Gas has been bad 3 days now anyone else still feeling it? Is my body still settling to the changes? Still have an incision that's a tad sore too

Do the fills hurt? Banded July 11 and haven't gotten one yet.

Ohh okay im 25 so not much difference in age! Good for you!

Congrats bekie!! How old are you? Also what's a stone?
