Wondering.... And A Little Paranoid...

I think I posted this awhile ago on another site. Wasn't sure if I was doing it right.

I have just had my surgery a week ago on Wednesday. I came home with little pain, just tired from the anesthesia, but surgery was great. Thursday and Friday I didn't get much down. By Saturday, I hadn't been able to get a full protein shake down, but the little that I did felt stuck. I kept gagging and clear fluid kept comming up but it wasn't like I was throwing up hard. (I know.... kinda gross)... This happened on Sunday also. This happened around 5 times. Everyone has told me to make sure that I don't throw up or my band will slip. Monday, I didn't feel full at all so I am worried that it might have slipped. Others that have had bands said that my stomach was healing and that I wouldn't feel full all the time. I guess I am just paranoid, because I am hungry now and I haven't been before. I have followed the nutritionist's directions as she said, except for the amount of protein I am able to take in.

OK.... making a long story short. Does anyone else feel hungry after just a week and get paranoid that it isn't working. I want that feeling of tightness back. Or is this normal??? :wacko:
