Hello All,

I was banded on May22,2006, so I am only 9 days in. Had my first visit with the doctor today said I lost 5 lbs. My scale showed 9lbs but regardless I feel like since I am only having liquids I should have been losing more than that.

Tonite I had a foul up, I ate chocalte and crackers and now I feel nausea and like alot of pressure in my chest but cannot throw up. It feels aweful. Also instead of chicken or beef broth I changed to french onion Soup without the cheese or bread of course. Anyhow I would love to meet you all and get some advice on all this.

Look foward to chating real soon!!

Welcome to bandland! Please stay on the diet your doctor provided for you, this is for healing. It's very important to follow the directions at the early part of banding. You are taking a chance of losing your band if you start eating all the wrong things when you shouldn't.

Thanks, I am going to try to do better, the temptations are very hard sometimes but I paid for it last nite so I think I learned.

Welcome!!!

Thanks for the welcome!!!
