I'm middle eastern and I've been struggling with eating canned Soups and such post my banding 8 days ago. I begged my mom to help me create some Middle East dishes that I'm accustomed to but yet can eat in line with band. Homemade blended Lentil Soup minus tahini and oil. Yum!!!!

I need one too I'm in Portland, OR

Yea. I am kinda struggling with all this canned soup. Not used to it. Any soup ideas?

Wow thats inspiring

When do I get to uncover my incision? Is my port under there?

I know seriously I'm ready for soft foods

No the 26th

Yes I swear by it

Please someone tell me why in the heck are my hiccups so strong? Normal?

November 6. Hello all

Hanging in there banded 11-6 was not eating much for 4 days. On 5th day now pretty hungry. It's 615am and I don't wanna eat. Drinking some milk. Besides that pain a little on incisions but I am feeling good. U guys?

OMG YES! I've never been pregnant but my smells are heightened. I was sitting at Starbucks and a group of women brought some fried chicken into the Starbucks sat next to be started eating I almost threw up. I noticed it too. I had surgery on 11-6

Hmmm how r u guys losing 16lbs. I've barely budged on the scale 4 days after surgery. My first appt is the 26th what can I do to jump start my weight loss. I have no appetite I'm lucky if I get to 500 cal a day

I told certain people but no I think everyone knows lol envious is what they tell me. Seriously it's kinda cool to have and who cares what they think. Ur doing it for your health.

You will be fine. Stay in communication with ur dr.

Hey. I got banded on 11-6 I had no appetite either. Most likely it's gas try to eat a little more. Water helps a lot. I also make tea lattes just heat up in microwave 12 oz or 8oz soy or skim milk and put a tea bag in it. Helps keep you feeling full especially if you have no appetite. I'm on my 4th day and still no real appetite to eat. You do need to eat so small bites will help u.

I had surgery on 11-6 been doing good just soar really and trying to keep my migraine which cause nausea in check. This morning I woke up feeling beyond crummy I got my period and its heavy which is unusual for me because I usually get light ones, a severe migraine and nausea.Any Idea how help with this annoying problem? I also noticed I'm waking up every morning feeling crummy. Why?

Thanks mis73 I'm actually trying to follow diet but i just have no appetite.

Hey I was banded on 11-6 I'm having heartburn which I never had before. Normal? I'm trying to deal but its kinda painful given I'm still healing.

I got a heartburn med it sorta helps. I thought the band isn't tightened after surgery?

I'm dealing with painful chest pains too. Yes normal breathe through it. Cold water helps me and warm milk.

Hey Karen. Yes I'm on same full liquids I just have no appetite to eat. I think the shaking happens because I'm so tired. Similar to restless leg syndrome. Just pain when I burp really and incision pain.

Hey your doing Zumba how often?

Hey guys. I got banded on the 6th of November. It's been easy so far except for the morphine which I have a high tolerance to so I was out on Dilladed for a while. Anyways I suffered a severe migraine which made me vomit (nothing really) and was put on caffeine later to help. Anyways I'm home now. I am a belly sleeper but sleeping on side is easy to do. Question. First, I notice as I'm falling asleep my body tenses like jolts almost kinda like I'm contacting my abs I wake up and release. Anyone having that too? Also, I didn't eat the 2 days I' was at the hospital. What can I eat? How do I know If I'm eating too much. I feel like I'm going to over eat.
