About ready to have this band cut out of me

[Jamoorse 0]

I just had my banding done 1 week ago; on liquids for 2 weeks, but starving, sick of Soups, isn't there more to life than soups for 2 weeks; i also have a very sore stomach, not where the stitches are but right down the middle of the stomach; is this just swollen stomach or is something wrong? I find it hard to turn while sleeping; whoever thought they could go back to work in 3 to 5 days forget it;

I was banded the same day.I am learning do not eat fast.I cannot eat steak or bread.I have had problems but I still love the fact I have lost almost 35 lbs.I eat a lot of weight watchers type meals and lots of liquids. I am not hungry at all.My fill is at 1cc.I could eat more. I just dont.I fill my tummy with low sugar juice and Water, low fat pudding and pop corn, nuts and raw vegtables and ranch dressing.Salad got old real fast.Good luck. If I do eat to fast or to much I feel like a big hunk of meat is stuck in my throat. I need that so I do not over eat.Given the chance I know I will. I am so glad the band does not give me a chance. I had grilled chicken and Beans last night at a resturant and I though I was going to lose it. SOOOO Painfull.I was wishing for a PB.We will learn in time.I still feel like this is the best choice for me and I hope you will also.It is hard and In feel your pain.
