So weird. All I ate last night was a 5 ounce can of white meat chicken . I got it in tiny pieces with my fork.

Talked to the nurse..She just said to go back to liquids for a few days, said its probably my swollen.

Thank you Lisa..will keep u updated.

Sipping a protein shake now. Hope it stays down.

No..I haven't had a fill yet...Thursday will be 5 weeks since my surgery.

I feel like what people describe as being stuck but I haven't eaten anything! All I can manage is liquids today. The pain isn't real bad but I wonder what happened?

Thanks y'all! I live I the south! Lol...they make everything fatty here! They can take vegetables and give them the calories of cake!

Well said Jack!!! I'm new in my journey. I thought I'd really miss soda. I loved diet Dr Pepper but I Dont miss it at all! I came off of sugar before surgery..The way I feel without it makes me realize how bad it was for my body..I gladly trade sweets for more energy . I feel so much better!

Congratulations on your big day! Sending prayers your way!

So excited for you!!!!

Hope you are doing well after your surgery. Take care of yourself.

Oh wow! That long. Thank you for responding.

I was very hungry in the first 2 weeks but as Colleen said when you start getting some real food it makes a difference. Late night eating was always a big problem of mine.. I drink a little almond milk before bed.. Gets rid of that sweet craving.

When I say enough catfish, I'm getting about 750 a day. I use my fitness pal. Most of the calories are from protein shakes. I eat a little but get full so fast.

Thanks everyone! Unless something changes I won't get a fill. I appreciate everyone's answers.. Since I'm so new into this I know things can change quickly.

Amazing when I think about how I used to eat! Lol

Wonderpoo2u, my port is on the right side of my chest. Close to my armpit. I haven't met anyone else on here that has their port there.

Yay!!! Welcome!

I'm suppose to get my first fill soon. I drink very well and I eat very little. In fact I struggle with getting enough calories. Is it possible that the band is working with nothing in it? If I tell them I Dont want a fill and a week later it changes will they let me then?

I went to the waffle house with my fiance, his 11 year old daughter, and my 14 year old son. I had a piece of sausage and 1 scrambled egg. I looked around on our table and said man, y'all eat a lot!!! Then I remembered I used to eat like that! Thank you, thank you to my band buddy!

Congratulations!! It is super exciting isn't it.. Everyone is different. I'm having to keep telling myself that as well..I've lost 13 lbs since June 26th.

Keep pushing forward!!! Best of luck!

Hope all goes well!!!

The thing is b52 is that I'm one of the few that doesn't have much hunger. I struggle with getting enough calories already.

Thank you very much..I wouldn't have made it this far without my faith in God. It is a blessing to know where he is going. I've heard great things about hospice. I will be calling them. Hopefully he has a while longer before we need their help. He so wants to be here for another Christmas but his pain is getting worse and his condition is too. My prayer is that doesn't suffer too much.
