I was banded on Jan. 15th '09. First day or two went well, but by day three I felt like crap! I was weak and sick to my stomach. Finally fell alseep and slept for almost 24 hours. I was back to work by Tuesday the 20th--Too soon I felt like I had a knot under my sterum and was weak. So I left early and went back to bed. The next day I woke up feeling great and I have ever since. Only thing, Im now hungry!!!! I have been trying to eat soft foods every couple of hours and drink two hours after in between meals. The food is going down fine, no pain, no pressure...nothing at all like I have read--Is it really in there? I can easily eat a cup of soft foods no problem. I see my doctor tomorrow. Any insight? Let me know -- not sure what other's have experienced. Im down 17lbs -- 11lbs pre surgery -- Seems like my weight loss has haulted. Im eating so healthy, I guess I want it all to fall off! Can't wait to get my first fill!

Congratulations!

It's in there but until you get a fill or two you are not really going to begin to use it. What you are experiencing is just part of the process that we have all been through. Be patient.
