but I am hungry....I can consume 6 ounces of water at one time...I just ate about 4 oz of potatoe soup (blended completly)(and homemade) YUMMY :hungry: I feel good...I feel as if I could eat a sandwich...lol...is this normal...am I normal...I dont feel alot of restriction.....

Last week I was on clear liquids...this week I am on full liquids.......just wanting to make sure I am on track....HELP ME POST OPS...am I on track?????

Sounds like you are doing great! A lot of people don't feel any restriction until they have their first fill, once the swelling from surgery goes down. Glad to know you are doing so well.

I am new to this but here goes. I felt the same way had my sur. feb 10 2006. Worried all the time if eating to much and was i hurting myself.Have had two fills now and the second fill has kicked my butt. I can eat sometimes and then sometimes it just comes back up i think i'm eating to fast don't know yet.

I am also 7 days out and i do feel a restriction. Im sure it is just swelling. My physician wont do a fill until 8 weeks post op to ensure ALL the swelling is gone first. I seem to have alot of problems with gas... both ends.. I dont get pressure in my chest so much as it feels like their is air in my stomach that needs to come out and cant get back up thru the band. I dont like it. I am sick of liquids.. sick of worrying about what im going to eat.. and tired of my port hurting.. and i am starving all the timne!! I just keep thinking about when i am able to eat regular food. By then i should feel better.. and to top it all off I have lost 15 pounds in 7 days so that is exciting.

Hanging in there,

Kathy

hang in there but 15 lbs.wow that is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathy! 15 lbs in a week?!?! I hope I am that lucky.

I am starving. I am being honest and faithful to this. I am on liquids and aside from three baby spoon size bites of mashed potatos, and three baby spoon size bites of SF pudding, I am on only liquids.

I go back to work Monday. And am actually looking froward to it, maybe it will take my mind off all of this for a major portion of the day.

I get pains across the chest, between my breasts, and it is cold and horrible. It is usually followed by my stomach growling. (your stomach growling is your stomach disgesting something that is not there)

I sucked on a SF popcicle a few mins ago. I never finish them when I do have one, usually only 1/3 of it if that much.

I am not looking at pounds. I want to get into my work clothes. 14/16 sizes. I am currently in 22/24.

I am walking what do you have planned for exercise? I am hoping that makes this weight drop faster.
