@@Bandster1019 congrats to you as well. I am 5 days in and am starting to feel better. But like @@Bandista i am still on clear liquids until Wed, then i can move onto more creamy liquids. Then in week 3 i can have scrambled eggs. I never knew i would look forward to eating eggs...

@@Keely Crawford i too had surgery 5 days ago, but my wife is an old pro at this. I think it just takes time and everyone is different. But it will pass. Today is the first day i have felt good. I was finally able to burp most of the excess pressure in my stomach after drinking some coffee this morning. I have felt way better ever since.

I haven't had one but my surgeon said some of his patients are more scared of the fill than they were for the surgery. But my wife has had several, she said they are a piece of cake.

I was banded on 8/20 and was miserable for the past 5 days. But this morning i had a nice hot cup of coffee, and after the first sip, i finally burped. That first burp must have loosened the airway for gas to leave my bloated stomach. I have never been so happy. I feel like a weight was lifted off of my chest.

Thanks @@KDS5000! It is interesting that my profile doesn't show my weight the day of surgery even though its in my profile. I am down about 4.5 pounds since surgery. I will probably update my profile to give a more accurate number.

I was banded on 8/20. Im still recovering/trying to get some of the excess air out of my abdomen.
