      I saw my dietician and weight loss center nurse today. One week until surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm super excited though. I've lost 30 pounds since May and can't wait to lose more!!!! G

    Did u have any fill when the pit it in? Mine Ed Putin empty, but I'm not even interested in food. Judy wanna get rid of my soreness & a little gas left:)

    I didn't even ask but I am so curious now! OK, this may be a bit too much info but I have to ask. Now that the gas is finally moving out I thought I could finally have a BM. I sat there in pain for almost an hour straining. I gave up and just mixed some Mirilax in my Protein shake. Now I'm worried that all the straining could have effected my band. I can't find anything on here about that. Anyone else know?? I have been following every rule to a T and just want to make sure I'm not jeopardizing any of my efforts!!

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

    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)

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