I don't know any other way to say it, so I'm going to say like it is...has anyone experienced constipation after surgery? It's been 8 weeks, and I have not been regular once. Can we take something, or can it hurt us? Any feedback would be appreciated. :biggrin:

I got my first fill on 12/4; I thought I would be filling full right away, but it's not the case. I am now at 3.4cc in a 10cc band. Is it ok for me to go back for another fill? Or, is it too soon?

I am wondering if anyone has experienced that problem. I was banded 2 weeks ago, and I lost some weight before the surgery. Since last week, I have not lost anything at all - I am on the liquid diet until tomorrow. My worry is that I will start gaining weight since I will be eating real food. Has anyone had that happened?:mad2:

Six days post op and you are already eating??? I love your doctor! I am starting tomorrow - 2 week mark. I can't wait to get some real food - I am kinda tired of soup by now.

I had my surgery 10 days ago, and I went back to work after 4 days. It was very difficult to move around, but I did it...slowly but surely. You should not be afraid of sharing your experience with your co-worker; I did! People are curious are they are going to ask questions, so why not tell them? My co-workers are very supportive; they help me get around, carry heavy stuff for me, and they check on me throughout the day to make sure I am ok. Allowing them to be part of my surgery has helped me tremendously....maybe you should give it a shot.

I am new to the forum, but I have been so many blogs that I finally decided to join. It's been 10 days since my surgery, and I have lost 13.5lbs....and plenty more to go :wub: I was wondering if anyone had some breakfast ideas for the mushy stage. I can't seem to find anything, and I am kind of lost as far as what I can eat. I found some wonderful recipes for lunch and dinner, and I can't wait to try them.:mad2:
