Good news to report today. I was able to sleep in the bed some last night, only about two hours at a time,then I would have to get up and walk around to get the gas off my stomach. But this is a huge improvement and I feel much better today. Yesterday evening I begin to belch a lot and begin taking Mylanta. Not sure it is working but it helps, yesterday the belching was painful today not so much. I was also about to go to the bathroom for the first time since the band. So it looks like by body is beginning to adjust and get back into the norm. The best news of all is this morning my scale was below 300lbs for the first time in a long time. My abdomen no longer hurts like it did the first couple of days when I would get up and down out of the chair. Looks like a brand new day to me....

Hi,

I am three days post band also and doing pretty well. Today is my best day. Still on clear liquids and carnation breakfast. No too gassy; passed alot yesterday and other body functions too. LOL So, everything seems to be in working order. I am actually starting to feel a little hunger today, where the last few days I drank something because I knew I had to or get dehydrated. Take care and good luck.
