I am 8 days post op and my stomach growls constantly. I am not talking a nice purring but an all out across the room growl. I had a client who's hair I was doing last night and about an hour into the appointment she said "Oh sweetie You can take a break and eat, I don't mind." It was really embarrassing. I have been told this is normal but I hate it. This too will pass. Everything else is great. I am healing quickly. I have been back at work for 3 days and I feel fine. I occasionally have some pain when I inhale deeply. My doctor said that it is inflamation around the band causing extra air to go down with my liquid and that it is normal. I want solid foods so bad. I know I am not hungry, just cravings I guess. The other day I actually snuck a chip out of someone's bag that they left in the break room. I chewed it up and spit it out. Pathetic! I'm hanging in there. I want to make good food choices and I plan to when I am aloud solids. I can't help to wonder if on occasion I will ever be able to enjoy or even taste the foods I used to love. I don't mean in excess. I just mean on occassion.
