OMG!!!! dont worry!!!! I've heard its nothing! I cant wait to hear details!!!!

Hi everyone, 12 days post op, and I feel I can’t go on.... it has nothing to do with food, or lack thereof. have you heard of side effects from anesthesia being severe depression? I am just wondering where is this all coming from?? I have been separated for almost 2 years and all of a sudden I am madly in love with my ex? that is impossible! is this part of recovery? has anybody experienced depression? seemingly not related to the band itself? I am so confused right now, please help.

thank you everyone, omg is so good to get so much advice from ppl that understand what is happening. It has gotten way better, and I did make an appt to see my primary, so lets see how it goes. again, thank you, it means so much to have help.

Hi Guys !!! I'm super new to this forum even though I read almost every night different topics here. I have a question... Is it normal that I can eat everything? When I say everything I really mean everything!!! Meat, pork, chicken, rice, beans, EVERYTHING!!! I was banded December 16 and everything went perfect, minimal discomfort, I was on liquids 3 days, then on pureed/soft food the rest and today was the first time I ate real food, meaning rice, beans, pork, bread, sweets, EVERYTHING!! I tried researching but no one really talks about eating normal so early in the game so please, please please! I need guidance I see my doctor on Monday, but I am concerned that something can go bad and I don’t want to end up in the ER on Christmas day.

Thank you guys!! you saved my day! Well, I am suppose to be on pureed/soft foods until day 10 which is Monday, but maybe it’s me being a smart ass, but isn’t every food soft when you chew it to death? Of course, I don’t eat an entire serving, I am eating a quarter of what I used to, but still I am so freaked out that I can do this, and to be honest a little discouraged. This happened at almost noon, and its 5 pm and I am still very full (which is very unusual for me). So that is very cool, and I do have a little discomfort, I don’t like to feel this full… Btw, I forgot to ask, why is that you can’t drink before ,during and after eating? I know they say it will “wash” food down, but I am just so thirsty after eating. What happens if I do? I still cant tell if that really washes things down, since everything I am feeling is new.
