I know it's early, but wondering if there's any one else getting ready to get banded in September? I have one more Ins required weigh in Aug 19 then my paperwork gets submitted for approval!

I was already told I'm on the schedule for September 27! Fingers crossed!

I am going to start slow with Greek yogurt and thicker soups. Going to make a batch of chicken chili and blend the heck out of it so it's really smooth and pretty thin.

I have been enjoying my stage 2 foods puddings and tonight for dinner I am going to have a cheeseburger soup blended. Can't wait. My tummy is so happy to have some food in it instead of just liquid.

I was just feeling a little nausea after drinking some crystal light lemonade. I felt a little tight and felt like I was going to vomit from over-eating, and so I took my bra off for some comfort, and now my lower stomach is rumbling like a thunder storm. Am I just imagining things or was my bra cutting something off? Impossible, right? since the stomach is in the ribcage?

PS I can't stand this percocet drug. It makes me feel stupid. lol

Have you had your first post op BM? That took care of my thunder storm and the little nausea I was having. Just a thought

Oh yeah, I had some um... TMI ALERT almost surprise diarrhea from the swallow test barium. Since then I've been having some bunny rabbit sized ones. LOL (((Like was mentioned before, only here on LapBandTalk can we be so open, huh?)))

Well congrats on the explosion!!! And yes being open is great. The BM was my only solution. Maybe you just drank too fast or something. Hope your thunder storm has calmed down.

Well I decided to try a cream based soup mixed with a lot of water so that it would be slightly thicker than broth. Now I feel stuffed. The most I had was somewhere between 6-8 oz over 30-45 minutes. I even waited as I ate and ate with a baby spoon...the fullness snuck up on me. I don't feel sick or nauseous or like anything is stuck - just full. Hoping this feeling passes soon. Lesson learned.

Had surgery Monday, when is the gas from my belly going to go down. It is so full, had and uncomfortable. I feel bigger than I did pre surgery.

Also when will I be able to sleep on my side and not on my back in the recliner.

I would recommend trying to walk as much as you can. Also try the gas-x dissolvable strips. You should start to feel less discomfort soon! Hang in there!!

Arch you are bigger than you were pre surgery. You've been pumped full of gas and liquids. After five days I was laying on my non port side. Gas pain went away on day 5 as well. It gets much better and seems to happen quickly.

Finding myself drinking a lot faster and more then 1 oz every 10-15 minutes. I am hoping I haven't messed my pouch up.

Heating pad also helps to release the gas. Congrats on getting banded I was also banded monday.
