I will try the slim fast. That just fills me up sooo fast. 800 calories seems impossible right now to me.

This is a great site with lots of information. I am doing o.k. and trying to go back to work tomorrow. There are still lots of concerns that I have. I am scared to take in too much too fast and am not getting very many fluids. Then, of course, I am concerned over dehydrating. Gas pain seems to be the worst for me in my upper abdomen. I will get a lot more walking in at work tomorrow. Don't think I will make the whole day, but going to make a shot at it!

How much liquid are you taking in Brenda? Are you back at work.

I was banded 30th... Can you tell me how much liquid you are taking in? I am trying to go back to work tomorrow. The biggest problem seems to be the gas in my upper abdomen. I feel full and am afraid to keep taking in fluids. I'm not taking in very much at all. Any advice!:help:

I am trying to go back to work tomorrow, but the gas really is killing me. Everything I intake gives me gas. Coffee did not go well at all. And I love my coffee. I will get some gas-x, right now I am taking mylanta. I intend to try using extra strength tylenol today, but don't have any liquid. I hope capsules will go down o.k.

I was banded on the same date at about the same time, but my dr. requires to stay overnight. That was o.k. though. Gave me a little more time to work out the soreness. I would love to have someone to compare stories with. Are you having gas issues? I

I am two days out. Surgery was on 11/30/07. I am still real sore and trying to make sure that I am OK. I'm not even sure which incision is the port site. Is that the largest incision?
