I came on the site today looking for someone else going through this. I had my 3rd fill a month ago and all of a sudden I can not get any food down. It becomes very painfull and I even threw up today after only 2 bites of food. I know it is time for my cycle and I had read somewhere on this site before that can make you tighter, but this is the first time I am feeling it. I think I want to call the docs office, because I am also having a problem with BM's now I was wondering if it is related. Glad to hear it is not just me. I would hate to have to have an unfill because I was feeling good restriction, but if it keeps up, I am going to have to consider it.

Count me in.......

Great Thread! I was banded on the 8th and go back to work on the 27th. I hadn't even thought about eating at work. You all gave some great ideas. I am lucky that I have a fridge as well so I think it will be stocked with SF Jello for the days that the company decides to buy Krispy Kreme:cursing:. I found a salmon pouch today(like the tuna) which gives a little variation to the tuna. Just added a little olive oil mayo. Great Protein and Omega-3.

:thumbup:Good luck NFaith, it sounds like you have a good foundation.

Hang in there!!! I was banded on 10/08 and the port pain has been the hardest part of healing. It does get better over time though. I truly agree that getting up and down from sitting or lying positions is the worst. Having help, though does take some of the pressure off your muscles. My husband has become a great pull bar.:thumbup::thumbup: Just remember the end results!!!!:smile2:

I am two days post op as well. I noticed that the gas and burbing seems to be getting worse. In the hospital they said that both were good. Something about getting extra air out of your lungs and your belly. I am up and moving around today. The worst pain I have is at the port site. It is still a little swelled up and I can feel that muscle pulling when I sit or stand. I do feel a little panicked about getting down 64 oz of Fluid though, because I can only sip a little before it starts to get uncomfortable. So hang in there I am sure in a couple of days the worste will be behind us.

I read a thread like this a while back too and think it is awesome. There is so much that I won't miss.

A few things on my list are:

*Not being able to tie my shoes without a struggle

*Not wearing cute shoes due to a lack of wide width

*Hiding from cameras (I swear they add 20lbs)

*Not riding roller coasters with my kids and hubby (fear of restraints not holding)

Just to name a few :tt2:

I am being banded on 9/25 originally 9/11 :tt1: but Doc had to go out of town). I was curious about time off as well, but my job approved me for time off with pay for 2 weeks. So I figure I will take it and use the time to get used to my new eating habits. Good look to all September Samurai's and I look forward to sharing success on the other side of my journey as an official BANDSTAR!

Surgery Date 9/11/2008

I am so excited to have a date, I can't sleep!!!

Good Luck September Samurai's....
