[ quote name=BamaBrandy' timestamp='1309999058' post='1636260] Thank you both for the well wishes and advice. I've been doing the 2 shakes and 1 small meal a day for quite a while, then 3 weeks ago i started the Clear liquids. I plan on sticking with the clear liquids and living on the treadmill till I shed the next 25, but if you have any better ideas I would sure be glad to listen. Get the atkins shakes drink 3 a day, and thats it...You will feel like you are dying and starving but by day 3 if you stick to it you will crave no more...I love diet coke and have had 0 since june 3rd. It is soooo hard. I even had my daughters first bday party cake, ice cram pizza pop....NOTHING! I was soooo proud of myself..You can do it!

Thanks so much! Wow amazing! I hope I get a pic of mine when I get my first fill on the 27th.

I can't see it and I'm spoon curious can u send it to me??? Staceyrdh2007@yahoo.com. thanks

You can work but don't lift I have a just one yr old probably 20 lbs. And banded June 13 feel great but I will tell u just carrying her to the car when I get in I can feel it..soreness in my belly I asked at fu. Appt they said six weeks before lifting...u don't want a hernia either. Good luck

Probably a little I had some soupy cream of wheat and a few spoonfuls and I was full...it helped just to get a little substance in there

I have 4 incisions the biggest on on the middle right when I psh on it its hard. At my follow up I asked that is the port the band is where my left middle incision is ..well around that area and That's where my soreness is. Keep me updated..

I am four weeks out now on solid foods and for the last 3 days my upper left portion of my stomach hurts ... not if I'm just sitting but if I take steps or lay on my left side. No other symptoms. ??? Anyone help??

Did u just start having pain? Or has it been since surgery?? What did your surgeon say??? I can tell mine is exactly where the band is...Idk if I ate something that irritated it. But how do they check it??? Have u had a fill yet? I have not. Suppose to on July 27th thanks

Going back on June 30th this Thursday. I didn't think it was an emergency so I didn't want to call. Maybe its from a nerve. Hopefully it comes back soon.

Hi I was banded june13th. Since I woke up my right armpit is numb. And reading all of these complications on here is starting to freak me out. I'm only 32 and I'm starting to get scared now afterwards and wondering if I made the right choice.

Well today has been 7 days took a laxative last 2 days and fiber chewable tablets today. Dr. Wants me to call tomorrow if nothing. But hey the gas is better. Lol and losing weight!

Had surgery Monday June 13 . And nothing yet but lots of gas in my chest. But not eating much substance anyway. Wonder if I should take something??
