Hi there, I had my op on 2nd Oct, it has been more painful than i expected at wound site, but havent had too much trouble with gas, what are others eating??

I was banded on Oct. 1st, and just started getting hungry yesterday- also feeling sorry for myself, missing the social life of dinners with friends and family etc.- anyway, my doctor said to just eat yogurts, puddings, pureed Soups etc. but today I had cream of wheat Cereal (after seeing it on this site) and it was delicious, and helped with the gurgling and pains- just eat is slowly to make sure you can tolerate it and good luck

Thanks for that, finding it really strange so many food ads on TV, cant bring myself to watch others eat, physically dont feel hungry but the old food feelings still there! (didnt realise how much extra time I've got now not eating much, cooking etc. will need to find a hobby, i have bought a jigsaw puzzle) Just taking it day by day, back to work tomorrow that should help with filling my days, thoughts, roll on 6 weeks...

Hi,

My surgery was Oct 3 as well. I am disappointed because I thought I would be feeling much better by now, too. I do get alot of gurgling noises in my stomach and also the discomfort in my chest. I haven't been walking much but am going to make sure I start today. I am supposed to be following the full liquid diet by now but can't get much down. I am feeling kind of nauseated at times.

Hi All,

I was banded 9/20 and it is odd that I now have the painful burps, discomfort in the chest and I get funny noises that come from my throat. I feel the noises rising from my throat and it is embarassing. I healed well and been eating well, it has just been the last 4-5 days that I began to have these experiences.

Odd?

I was banded on Aug 29th and boy did I ever get some gurgling in my stomach post surgery, It was soooo loud. It went away after a few days and my stomach healed. But to this day when I do get hungry and my stomach growls it is still louder than usual and it sounds like it has an "echo" to it. Like it is in a cavern or something. But the hunger pang doesn't bother me like it used to. I can pretty much ignore it till it is time for me to eat. Good Luck on your journey everyone.
