Ok, so I am painless for the first time today. Had a bad episode of gas pains yesterday and took extra strength gas X chewables...it was a life saver! Hives and itching decreased when I removed the dermabond. Things are looking up. I am 10 days post op and still not feeling hungry at all. Feel full after drinking a water. Anyone else feeling the same? I am down from 303 to 284! I am not focused on loosing wieght that equals muscle and fluid lost... rather I want to loose fat! Was a little concerned when I getting full so quickly, but able to get in protien now.

It's all about the surgery and the post surgery process. Unless the Dr put some in your band during surgery, all you are experiencing is inflammation from surgery.

Hate to tell you but as you heal,you will return to normal.....that is the way you were before you had the surgery.

Then starts then band adjustment process to get you to that place where real weight loss begins.

Makes sense, as my belly is still pocking out and swoll! lol. One day at a time! Thanks!
