Good Afternoon all, I think I finally figured out to how use the ticker, lol. I really appreciate everyone's honesty, it makes this process a little easier. I am officially 6 days post op and still feel like a balloon. I'm beginning to think something is wrong with me because some of the pains are in the same spot and they really hurt alot. I carry Maalox around with me everywhere, lol but sometimes it doesn't help. I can't wait until my first appt on Tuesday (esophogram) and a check-up.

Hello everyone, this is all new to me. I was just banded on Monday 9/28/2009. Today is Friday and it is the first day food came across my mind, not to eat it but just enjoying the smell of it. It's been so difficult for me to get anything down. Honestly, today was the first day that I could get down 1.5 cups of ensure (high protein). Not all at one time, this was an all day process. My family has been really worried about me because I completely stop "eating"/drinking anything. The pains been terrible for me. The gas hurts so badly, even though I walk everyday. I sip on water and gatorade all day but I have yet to actually finish one bottle of gatorade, lol. 6 to 8 cups, I know I need and want but it's too painful and I don't want to cause any vomiting. My first check-up is on Tuesday and hopefully before then I can get a little more down. Maalox is my new bff, lol.
