Hi to everyone!! I was banded on 4/20 and was pretty scared for the surgery. My surgery started at 9:30 and I was awake at 11:00!! Home by 3:00!! Every day seems to get a little better. I to have a lot of gas but it only comes out one way (if you know what I mean?) :blink: I would love to burp!! It only comes out like a hiccup. Getting down 64 oz is not fun, I know I don't have that much, but my intake increases every day. Can't wait for Mushies!!! I am craving eggs. Good Luck to All!!:D

I was banded 4/21! And I agree each day gets easier and easier! I too can't wait for mushies! I just want to eat! not craving anything particular, but I was a 2wk liquid diet preoper, and I'm on liquids 3 weeks post op as well! (1 wk clears, 2 wks full).... So I'm ready to progress! Good luck with everything! I've found a lot of good information on this site and ObesityHelp.com... so I'm so happy they're are so many support forums for ANY question you may have!

Haven't had much gas, but I did burp for the first time today and it felt great!!!

Good Luck to everyone on their journey!

walk, WALK, and walk some more, even if it just in the hallway of your home, but really, you should be out if the weather is nice, even if it is to the corner and back. Believe me, walking is the only nice cure for the gas!

It took about year, I had to jump through many hoops, but they finally covered everything.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
