Can you feel anything in the area of your band when you're straining?

No, I don't think so. It's all down lower but I still worry.

I used milk of Mac & I did finally go just remember you don't have much solid in you so b patient when you strain it should not affect your stomach or band its to high up in the digestive track my Dr said it was safe to try but not till I'm in pain it cancause other issues(hemorrhoids...ugh)

That sets my mind at ease ;) Thanks!!

So excited! Getting banded tomorrow morning!!! The only thing I'm nervous about is complications. Other than that I'm feeling pretty excited and I hope the healing phase is pretty quick!

Good to hear from you!!! I'm doing pretty good. I LOVE my band and am so happy I did this! I have zero appetite and feel super stuffed. I know I need to get the proteing in though so I am trying! ;)

Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!

I have 3 more days until my surgery. Im scheduled to check in at 5:45am and its starting to set in. Im actually nervous n scared...all my hard work is about to pay off but Im freaking out a little that random thoughts go through my head. I just need some reassurance everything will be ok. Im glad I can come in her for support.

      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! 😞
