OMG... I;m so glad i found this blog... I have been feeling the same.. I got banded on June 4th. I'm already on mushy food. Mushy Meaning (eggs, mashed potatoes, meat loaf, fish) and I feel no restriction! I do stop myslef from eating, but I feel like they forgot to put the band in. To my understanding, the bad is not even filled yet.. untill your first fill, you may not feel any restriction! I can't wait till my first fill!!

Thanks Kris! I actually did buy the gasX strips.. and the chewables also...Maybe I'm drinking too quickly.. I'm going to slow it down a notch.

I was banded on June 4th, 2009 @ NYU. The first few days the pain was not that bad... My incisions do not even hurt...

But the pain I feel inside is killing me!:wub: I do not know what is going on. I just tried calling the doctor, but of course, NO ANSWER. I feel like it was the worse decision of my life! Although I know it's not. The pain its excruciating... It feels like hunger. but I was told I am not supposed to feel hunger! I'm on my 5th day of my 10 day liquids and I really do not feel well at all.. I feel week, I feel like my stomach is about to fall out of place. It's horrible, I'm at work and i keep crying because of the pain! It's annoying! I had a slim fast this morning and some broth for lunch, And even when I ate my slimfast, I got the pain. Something cannot be right!! RIGHT??!! Please Help!:biggrin:

I'm 24 and 220lbs! This should have not been so hard!!

Congrats on not being hungry! I had my surgery on June 4th... and Today is the firsy day i have felt hunger... it's very uncomfortable... It's not the type of hunger I'm used to though, It's like my mind does not want food But my stomach does.. i don't even know if it's hunger what I feel.. But I can't wait to be normal again.. geez

Thanks.. I feel better... Im not eating anything fatty and will be on clear juice till surgery! I got all the food I like out of my system already!

Hello Everyone!!

This is my first blog, hoping there are many more to come...

I will be banded on thursday June 4th, 2009 by Dr. Kurian @ NYU in nyc...

2 week liquid diet: I tried, really. I have been eating one small meal a day... and feel like a failure. I'm scared they will not band me. I went through sooo much and I can't go back now! Nobody really told me what to eat while on the liquid diet.. I have been eating a bit of bread, and then today I see that the carbs are the ones who make your liver larger! geez! WhAT DO I DO???? WHAT CAN I DO?? does drinking clear liquids all day help?
