So I have had the band for 6 days now.. I am just now getting terrible heartburn! Does it end? Can anyone relate?

Way to go (: I'm 5 days post op I have 4 days until I'm allowed mushy. And I can't wait lol I'm so ready

Yeah I'm still swollen also. I haven't weighed myself yet lol. Don't want to get upset if its not a smaller number so I keep myself off the scale. But I will probably weigh once a week

Did anyone get bloated after the band? And how long does it last?

I get a little hungry feeling about every 3 1/2 hours. But it's just a little hungar it's not a starving type. But in not used to it. I'm usually hungry right after eat a meal.

Because I too am having trouble liking the shakes post op

Yeah makes sence. So its ok to add fruit into the shakes?

Im not starving lol I'm doing fine with that just ready to test my band out and see what it'll let me have and not have!

What would happen if someone ate food before their soc said?

I kinda want food. But ik I have 6 more days until I'm on mushy foods.

I'm only 3 days post op. I am still on liquids at the moment. And I cant wait to finally eat regular food! How did everyone else handle not having food?

And drink up today!

I just took loose fitted clothing and lip balm and thats prerty much it. Unless u want a heating pad or extra blanket.

Lol. Friday friday friday!!!!!

Ty. I'm feeling much better now than at first lol

That's great (: mine is the 9th!!!!!

I'm on day 11 of this pre op diet. It's harder than I ever thought but I'm making it through

I agree (:

That is great progression! Dont get down about it. Remember, you didnt gain that weight over night and you wont lose it over night (:

As you know I just finished day 11. Lol thank the lord I'm close! I honestly am so happy I met you on here and we can relate!!! It makes it easier. Cuz I can count. On your words of encouragement (:

That's great! My dietician gave me like a menu. Mainly has yogurt and cottage cheese applesauce things like that n but I was also told I could chop up things like in a blender and eat it that way like softer foods
