Yup, I went there! I am proud to say that 5 days post op I pooped! I never felt so much relief in my life!

Last night I was drinking my soup, and I got up and passed out! I'm so pissed at myself! I felt kinda crummy all day, so I spent the day in bed. I didn't drink or eat much yesterday, so that's why.

I am having such a hard time figuring out if I'm full. I know that sounds so weird, but I drink my 4 oz and I can't tell if I'm full or not. Have I stretched out my pouch? What if I did something wrong when I ate that dreaded chicken?

I don't know if what I'm doing is right!!!!!

Hi knrpic,

I am 12 days post-op. I understand your frustration. I was instructed to drink 2 ozs of broth every 15 min. and had 2-3 protein shakes a day. I feel that you are getting weak from the lack of nutrition and if you haven't added the shakes yet, maybe you should. You can purchase EAS-myoplex or Isopure at your local GNC store. Along with the broth, I also drank 2 ounces of the the protein shakes every 15 mins. or so.

As of today, I have lost 10 pounds since banding. I have moved on to a soft diet and become full very fast. You will know when you are full after one bite to many, it is extremely uncomfortable.

LOL Congrats! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I actually called the surgeons office to ask when I should become "concerned". After all the lovely milk of magnesia, stool softeners, etc, etc I think I had my first honest one 7 days post op! LOLOL

I had to join this blog just to tell you how much I enjoy your writing... great sense of humor, you sound like me..... LOL I wish you luck in your journey. I'm still thinking about it, its kinda scary.... Ciao

thank you fantandtired! Appreciate it!
