I just got my band on monday 6/29/09. Is it normal to feel like you regret it. I feel like I may have done something bad to my body. It is now friday and still really gassy and my stomach will not stop gurgling. I also miss the food more than I thought I would. Does this feeling go away? When do you start to feel like yourself again?

I was also banded on June 29 '09. My tummy has been making crazy gurgling noises too and I am starting to get really bummed about this liquid diet. Everyone today is having BBQs with family and friends and I am staying home alone because I dont want to smell the food or see people eating it! As far as soup, there are only so many kinds and I am running out of new things to try. Ugh. I was afraid I had made a mistake too, but I am sticking it out. Counting down the days 'til I can have some blended food. Yumm. What will I have first? It's good to hear from others going through the same thing.

Yeah I must be crazy because I'm going to a friends house today because I'm going crazy being home. I'll just bring my liquids with me and if I can't take it I'll come home and whine on here some more.
