i was banded on 1/08/09 n i got that pain like a week after too. n ppl have told me that it is normal n it is just the port area takes longer to heal. i still get it a lil now n then. best of luck to u! yoco28

i have the same issue.......im 3 weeks post-op n even though i know im full i still, in my head feel like im hungery. it is a crazy feeling. but it seems to be less now. guess im getting used to the changes. best of luck to all! yoco28

i have not started to count my cals. n im 3 weeks post-op.but i know that im only eating half of what i used too. also i only will eat every 4hrs. even if im hungery. but when im hungery i will drink my christal light or water.n i still keep losing so far i have lost 22lbs. so i must be doing something right! best of luck to u! yoco28

chicken n fish where on my soft foods so when i could have a reg. diet i added a carb balance wrap with my usual chicken. n i was full, what a difference a wrap can make!

i heard that it gives u gas pains. n we all know how they feel....ouch

i am 3 weeks post-op n just started my stage 5: regular food trial.:thumbup: i seem to be ok. i only tried the carb balance wrap with some perdue short cuts turkey and onions n cheese with fat free sour cream. i could eat about 3/4 of it. n it filled me up for about 4 hours.:thumbup: but it was so nice to try something different. it is funny how when ur eating like this. how everyone wants to go on a diet too. i mean just cause u started something now everyone must get skinner before u do. ikd? it just bugs me.:blushing: i guess everyone must know someone like this.....lol:wink2: since last week i started to make something that we all can eat. even though i was on soft food. but even my daughter lost 6lbs in 6 days. :laugh:my husband lost 3lbs. so i guess it is good for everyone!:heart: best of luck to everyone!:eek: yoco28

i had the same problem. before i got banded i was fine with milk but as soon as i got banded (1/8/09) i could no longer stand milk n had to switch to lactaid milk. but it worked, n i no longer have any gas pains! best of luck to u! yoco28

hey nuts.........lol just kidding i am the same way. the pic's on the fridge is just something to keep me out of there....lol best of luck to u! yoco28

congrats! getting the band is the best thing i have ever done too! best of luck to u! yoco28

its only a week. its not that bad. and it is better that ur healthy when u get this done. cause when u have it done ur gonna need all the strenth u can get, to get rid of that gas. best of luck to u! yoco28

it takes a lot of time to get through all this. i started out in 2/08 n was banded on 1/08/09. but it was all worth it! best of luck to u! yoco28

i was banded on 1*08*09 n that is a crazy pain, the worse! have u tried using a heating pad? it helps with the gas. when i was at the hospital that is was they told me n it works too! best of luck to u! yoco28

hi, i was banded on 1/08/09 n it is the best thing that i have ever done! i started out by looking on the internet n finding a doc close to me, then i attend his semenar n went from there. best of luck to u! yoco28

Well i got the metamucil n u have to drink it fast .it cant sit out long, so there is no way i can do. i tried puting it in my portien shake but it taste nasty n made it too thick. so i tried it in my water but it takes me all day to drink a 9oz bottle. so it got thick too. n i had to trash it. so i still have not gone in 5 days now. i feel the urge but NOTHING! i guess i will try that miralax. im off to the store again. thanx for ur info! yoco28
