i had my surgery on thursday and my first post op visit today. My Dr. filled my band but i didnt know to ask how much, in any case, he's on vacation until May 13 and wanted me to have something there to start seeing results. I am still at the liquid diet stage, but i feel i can eat anything i want... he mostly filled my band because i told him i feel hungry although i have not cheated, i feel hungry!!! Should i stay on this liquid diet or should i try eating more consistent food, like move on to the puree diet stage?

Gas pain on my shoulder is still very much there... any suggestions?

You had your surgery 4 days ago and you just got your first fill? Wow that's crazy. Never heard of such a thing. You should still be on liquids I would think but your doctor should be the best to ask.
