Hi, I had my surgery on 4/19/10. I'm only down 7lbs since then. Had a 3cc fill on 5/17, but still feel wide open. I am really getting totally frustrated, as I feel I should be down so much more than 7lbs. I have made an appointnment for 5/24 for another fill and feel like I have to demand at least another 3cc's to get this show on the road.

I was banded on 4/19 and on day 2 I was supposed to start pureed food. There was no way this could happen. I was in such pain and so nauseous, I could only sip water. I then found I could eat a sugar free ice pop. That went down well. I also then searched other people's post-op instructions, on this website, and saw that a lot were instructed to follow clear liquids for 2 wks, full liquids for 2 wks, and THEN pureed foods for 2 wks. Ultimately followed by real food. Needless to say, clear liquids are working for me. The protein shakes are going down okay, too. Good luck to you!

I was banded yesterday. I'm still have horrible nausea. I tried some oatmeal this morning and could barely stomach it. Liquids are not so bad. When could you eat pureed food without discomfort?
