jdmart7 - it does get better. I think I was around day 10 when it was just a reminding nuisance. Now that I am 14 days past, I feel find and am eating solids. I had my first bout of food getting stuck. It was horrible! However, it really taught me to SLOW DOWN. Now I am faced with the way I view food and how I should view food. I can easily see how a person can just eat like nothing has changed. Now that my swelling has gone down, I could easily go back to my normal way of eating emotionally. Right now, all I can think about is getting a half a slab of sweet bbq ribs. I'm going to a bbq later on today but I don't want to lose the little progress that I have made. How is everyone else doing with public enemy number one? I think that at week 6 I will do the south beach diet and hopefully get the ball rolling again. Last time I did south beach I lost 25 pounds in 7 weeks. Maybe with the band, I won't feel like I am missing out on something.

That sounds wonderful! I was just banded on 6/20 and the whole not eating food has me scared. I also went to the movies with my husband and he had nachos and cheese. I was tempted but my nerve in my left shoulder is still killing me that I don't dare eat anything that I am not suppose to. I look forward to going out to eat. That is something that hubby and I do on the weekends. It seems weird that we haven't gone out.

Hello, I am 38 and started at 280. I started the liquid diet on June 13 and had surgery on June 20. Day of surgery, I had lost 10 lbs. So far, I have lost a pound a day. Yesterday (Friday) was the day I could move to creamier liquids. I can't tell you how good cream of chicken soup tasted. I just had my dinner bowl an hour ago and I was like this gets better and better. I have PCOS and have been trying to have a baby for 6 yrs with no success. Depression and heartache of failed infertility treatments I gained 100 lbs. Now I'm too big to get pregnant. Well that's a story for another day.
