KawasakiChick, I was banded on the 9th and about 5 days after surgery i began to feel hungry. Or at least my stomach made some sounds. I know its hard but i really tried to get water and the protein shakes down! GOOD LUCK!!! Eb

Hi Aquilla I was banded on the 9th and I had thge same problem!!! the thing that really worked for me was a heating pad! I put it on my chest and felt much better in like 15 mins! The key is to NOT lay on your back try to sit up and although it was painful walking is good! Hope this helps! EB:closedeyes:

hello all i just got banded on friday jan 9th. The surgery went well, i just didn't expect to be in so much pain!:redface: i was suppose to be released on saturday but due to some complications i had to stay until sunday. Thanks to this site i was prepared, i knew about the gas but WOW it just seemed to sit right on my chest. And when ur hurting you don't feel like getting up and walking although you know you should!:thumbdown: I can already tell the difference in my eatig already. i am still on a liquid diet and i have to take it slow and i am only able to have a few sips. Looking at food now even feels different to me. I'm still in the process of taking it all in. I guess thats all for now! :cursing:

hello all, although I am not new to this site I am new to this group. I am 26 year old nursing student who will be banded on jan 9th 2009. I am excited and nervous and am making improvements on my diet already. Would love some support. thanks all :confused_smile:

Hey i know the feeling i have a couple of family members and even friends that feel that same way. And I am also nervous. BUT if we continue down the path that we are heading they are going to be more concerned later on! this is a chance to be healther before it gets to late. my advice to you would be to tell him that you understand how he's feeling but now you want him to understand how your feeling. good luck!
