Hi, I was also banded on 4-12-11. I have lost 16 lbs so far from starting my pre-op diet. Don't worry, you sound like you are doing it correctly. I have been having yogurt and pudding and it is working. I was in the hospital for 3 days due to low potassuim, so I was loaded with liquid. I have been having a yogurt everyday and have been losing. I have make up my own sort of yogurt conconction that is working great. Here is is in case you want to try it: Half of a dannon light and fit pinapple/coconut yogurt (3 ounces) about 2-3 ounces of 1% milk or skim scoop of vanilla Protein powder few ice cubes Blend it up and it tastes like a virgin pina colada and loaded with the protein! Takes a little time to finish it all, but you should only sip it. I have also added Protein Powder to any instant sugar free pudding (usually a half a scoop)

Hi I was banded on 4-12-11, and I have the same thing going on in my chest. The Dr. and nurses all said that you may start to feel full in the chest area as well as have some gas. I find that when I eat I am getting full in my chest area first which helps me to stop. Hope this helps.
