I was banded on the 24th of May and I'm 5 days post op and I'm having a hardtime.... My appetite is nonexististing, I been sipping on water, v8, I tried to get down a protein shake but I wasn't able to get much down. My sense of smell is going crazy I feel sick at the stomach if I smell foods, perfume, etc. my whole system seems out of whack. I haven't had a bm yet, I still find myself vomiting which I know is bad. I don't know if my abdominal pains are gas are is it from not getting enough food down. I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones who were back at work in a few days. Im still trying to have a positive outlook on my decision to get banded, but with every passing hour of discomfort, dout is slowly creeping in... Not to mention I'm afraid of slippage because of the vomiting... I just guess I need for someone to tell me this is part of the healing process.

Thanks, I guess I wasn't prepared for this much pain.

I'm scheduled for surgery on the 24th of May and I was curious about a program called medifast that have meal plans and products tailored for bariatric patients. Have anyone tried this program and if so how do the food taste?

Thanx for the information. My daily schedule is so hectic I'm use it having most of my meals on the go. I guess I'm just not use to preparing meals ahead of time and the medifast program was gonna help me where time is concerned. Its going to take some hard work on my part to slow down and pay more attention to what I'm eating. I guess I'll sample a few of their products.

I can't wait to start on my journey to better health......
