I started soft foods today,yay, at least now I can have tuna fish or eggs. these few weeks were rough, it was easier when you first get the band because you aren't feeling that good, now that I feel good, it was harder for me to stick.

I am going nuts, I want to eat something besides mashed potatos and oatmeal, I have been living on broth and protein shakes, (which I dont really like) at least next week is soft foods.lol.

I have the same thing also. I wanted to mention it when I got my fill, but I forgot. I have an appt with the office in 2 weeks, so I am going to mention it when Iam there. Its not bothering me, and I know not to pull it, and nothing is infected, so I will wait for him. From what I am hearing, its common

I had my first fill yesterday and now I am back on liquids for a week, then mushies for a week and then soft foods again. Hopefully this will start me moving again.

I just got my fill today and my doctor is a little bit stricter, I have to do 3 days clear liquid, then one week all liquids, then one full week soft foods, then regular foods.

I lost 4 lbs since last week. I am not doing the pouch diet because I am still new, I am on regular food though,but tomorrow I go for my fill and then I have 2 weeks of liquids, so hopefully that will help me.

I also had my surgery on 12/16. I have lost 16 lbs. I started regular foods today, finally. The weight will come off, from what I heard this is a healing process, it will just take some time. We are all doing great. Congratulations everyone.

I'm sorry I am just a little confused. I just want to come on Saturday, do I pay the 87.50 or do I have to pay that plus the 30 for not staying?

The second week it started to subside it wasn't as bad, by the third week my hunger was gone. Now I feel totally back to normal and I really havn't been hungry at all and tomorrow starts week four.

I was banded on 12/16. The first week was rough, but now I am not hungry anymore. I made it through, you can too. It gets better. I am going for my first fill on friday.

What happens after something gets stuck. I haven't had the problem yet, I only have had something stuck for a few seconds then it passes, but what happens after something really gets really stuck. I hear people say that it was stuck for 1/2 hour before it passed. Can you go right back to eating, or should you do liquids for a day?

I'm in also. I have also been following this thread thinking about doing it. I will start monday.

Just a quick question about the larger incision above the belly button. I had my surgery on 12/18, that area is still sensitive, does anyone else have that problem. I also had a hiatal hernia fixed at time of surgery, so I didn't know if that could be why its more sensitive. Just asking.

Thank you for the replies. Its when I lean against the counter or the table is when it hurts. Hopefully it will stop sometime soon.

I had my surgery on 12/16/08. My first fill is scheduled for 1/9. That is also 3 weeks. This week I am on soft solids, (fish, eggs)

I also have the Realize band. I was banded on 12/16/08 and lost 15 lbs so far. I go for my first fill on 1/7.

I was banded on 12/16 and I was told the first week was clear fluids and now I am on mushies like oatmeal and mashed potatos. On tuesday, I can have soft foods, like tuna and eggs. Every doctor is different

I also had a hernia repaired at the time of surgery which was 12/16/08. I am still in quite a lot of pain in my stomach area and part of my stomach comes out more than the other right now. We didn't know that I had the hernia so when I was told, I was totally surprised. I hope this pain ends soon.

I was banded on the 16th. I now am very sensitive on my right side, I hope that I didnt hurt anything.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays bandsters. I was banded on the 16th and I started mushies on tuesday, one week after the surgery.
