if you have replaced the gum in your purse with Gas X you might be a bandster!! If Burping is your new favorite thing to do, you might be a bandster!!

Hello everyone.... I am about 4 weeks out of surgery, and i am getting my first fill on may 28th....... ummmm i have no restriction..... i can practically eat as much as i could before..... i do get full quicker but as for the band restricting my food intake isn't really working...... is this normal?? will i get restriction when i get a fill??

my first stuck food was scrambled eggs as well!!! hard boiled was ok... but scrambles was ew awful

i have been started on mushy food.... i had surgery alittle over 2 weeks ago.... and my stomach hurts.... not where the band it but the bigger part of my stomach hurts.... usually when i eat it hurts more!!!! is this normal or????

Thanks everyone that really makes me feel better..... the liquid diet was one of the hardest things i've ever done..... if i see one more glass of apple juice!!!! LOL, but actually today is my 2 week "bandaversary" as i see some of you call it.... so i can officially eat mushie stuff..... i'm so glad!!! thanks so much

i had my gallblader out and it's the best thing i ever did...... the paid is pretty close to child birth..... OMG feels like some one is stabbing you in the back and twisting not to mention it feels like you stomach is slowing exploding,,,,, worst pain i ever felt..... hope you feel better Katie!!

blue cross will cover it if you have the need for it

post op,,,,, and it's not like i ate a chicken i just started eating mushies alitlle early..... very slowly im amd i am sure i am fine but i guess i am nervouse now,,,, 2 weeks is just a long time on liquid

has anyone ever cheated on the liquid part of the diet?

depending on the doctor that did the surgery everyone has differnt pre op and post op diets... some people can go to mushies earlier than 2 weeks even solid pretty early..... some people have to be on liquid diet 2 weeks pre op!!! what's up with that?

Is fish a good food to have during the mushy phase?..... it seems like it would be.... anybody know?

I don't think i would have made it with 2 weeks liquid..... my doctor told me no solid food 1 day before surgery..... that's it...

Lil angel i did this when i was on liquid diet and the swollowing really is the best part and i never noticed it until now!!! weird

can either erosion of slippage like be fatal??? that scares me!!!

since i had surgery 2 weeks ago.... i deffinetly have had cravings and wanted to eat becasue im bored or whatever... but my stomach has not felt hungry at all since surgery... it feels like Full and tight... is this normal?? and as the time goes on will i feel hungry again?

do you only get PB with when you have a fill.. does it happen post opp before a fill??? Alot of people are saying that they can go back to eating like they used to about 4 weeks after surgery becasue they don't have a fill.... is this true?

i just actually did this to some pizza rolls...... it's really gross and i was gagging at the end...... i really wanted the pizza taste though and it helped!!!! i try not to do it alot though.... becasue it does get gross

i just went on mushies yesterday.... any one have any good ideas for me.... i have thought of quite a few myself but the more the merrier!!!! thanks:D

Shackdog.... not only you can eat celery but 5 stalks???? with 10 little carrots????? that seems like alot at once.... although i just started mushies yesterday so what do i know??

i am afraid that when i can start eating again... i won't get enough Protein...is there a protein vatamin out there??? or something that i can do each day to make sure i get the protein i should? That whole hair loss thing freaks me out!!!:help:

LOL......ew pizza soup!!! this liquid diet is the hardest thing i have ever done...... i saw some people are chewing and spitting.... i would die if i didn't do that........ its gross though!.... thanks for all the comments

I am craving steak and cheese sub with onions and mushrooms with xtra mayo..... oh my god that is so bad..:hungry: I have been on liquids for 12 days now so i think that is normal!!! Help me

way to go...... keep up the good work... nice bike!!

Uh i have been on liquids for a week now..... and i have no words to describe how hard it is...... i can't wait to eat mushie stuff.... just to get some taste...... if i see another carnation instant Breakfast i might just flip out...... this is the hardest part of the whole thing, but i have lost 12 lbs so far and that's pretty cool..... but i would love some Pizza!!!! i told my husband today while i was crying.... " i am so used to just eating so much all the time and now i can't eat at all and it sucks!!! not to mention i quit smoking too.... so i can't eat and i can't smoke!!!! what the hell am i supposed to do with my self...... but then i say to my self, that's exactly why i've gotten this done!!!! It's so hard and it's not fair that there are those people out there that can eat what ever, wherever and whenever and they look like fricken super models.....:angry i am dreaming about food...... MY GOD

i am on a liquid diet and im not sure how long i will survive
