Advice for a newbie

[Fairone5 0]

Hello, I was banded on october 7th and was wondering why is it very normal to only be able to hold about 2 to 4 ozs of mushy food at this point? Sometimes its only a few tiny bites that i feel like im full but also feel like im full of air. Excessive belching. Taking Gas-X every day. How about any of you guys? Any advice?

You probably still swollen a little with time im sure you will notice its time for a fill. As for the gas im one year banded and still get gas and use gasx a couple of times a week.

You are lucky because I was banded on 10/4 and I can eat more than 4 oz of food I can't wait to get my fill which I don't know when that will be but hopefully soon...

enjoy this time and the weight loss that comes with it. You're probably still swollen...don't worry, the swelling will go down and you will likely have your hunger return.

be well!
