Greetings to Everyone. Although I have lurked around on the site, I have now been banded for 4 days and have some questions. I don't know if all of you know how much your words of wisdom are appreciated, but please know that they are. Like I mentioned, I am 4 days out, and am feeling weird. I had a great surgery done in Mississauga, ON, Canada, and everything went great. Very little discomfort, and little to no gas pain. Very manageable. (Sorry to brag ...):guess I am not able to take much by mouth. I feel sooooooo full, and after taking 2-3 little sips of water, it feels as though my throat is full and nothing is going to go down. I takes about 15 minutes, and I can slowly feel the liquid moving down my throat. Very strange. And, when I do feel hunger, or possibly some gas moving around, I can again only attempt a sip or two. Is this tight feeling normal? Am I so fresh that I need to just ingnore how I feel over the next few weeks? Also, any suggestions on what I could try to eat at this point, other than water or broth? Thanks a bunch, I appreciate all of the help I can get.:kiss2:
