I am so loving this thread! I really needed to read this tonight and thank you so much for asking the question! I am 2 weeks post op and I fear that it won't be enough. I continue to lose, but the fear is still there, due to all the past failed attempts.

Hi, Dec 16 Band here. I am feeling ok. I cannot feel the port though. What side is it usually on? NO gas....thank God for that.

Yup, same day. I am feeling pretty good. The soreness has really let up and I never really had bad gas either. Been burping some and hiccups. The burps kind of hurt.

You are so not crazy. I was banded Tuesday and I am starving too. The protein shakes really do help though and I try and think of it as nourishing my body to heal. Good luck, i know it will get better for us!:biggrin:

I guess this makes sense. I hope this does not happen to me, yuk.

December 16th here!:biggrin: Surgery was smooth and was home by 1230 that day. Has any of you started exercising yet? I am on full liquids. Glad to be here!

yes, i had surgery yesterday. :smile2:

Jello? I am on full liguids right now. Broth, popsicles, diluted fruit juice and jello.

What about some ice?

I have read and read. I go in for my band tomorrow morning and I have read many times about certain foods sliming or frothing. Also you speak of foods getting stuck! How does it go down eventually? Have any of you got something stuck and had to go back to your Doc for help with it?

Thanks everyone! I am from the cincinnati area. Kerlakian is doing my surgery. :biggrin:

My surgery date is December 16. I am excited and scared and have enjoyed reading all of the insight from this site. thanks Rebecca
