Welp I have been banded for almost two weeks' date=' and have been doing well with my food intake. Luckily my MD is "aggressive" [his words'] with getting me back to solid food, which has been going well! BUT I am so emotional!!! The last few days I have just been down in the dumps, and emotional about the change. Craving foods that I shouldn't eat, which I haven't gave in to. Is this normal? food has always been my friend, my confidant, and go to when I am emotional, and now I am trying to break up with it..... at least this is how I feel. Like our relationship is breaking up.... I know kind of sick huh? I want this so bad, and I will succeed! I may fall sometimes, or trip up but I really do want this to work and am willing to give it my all!

I also am almost 2 weeks out. I have has some of the same feelings, so you are not alone. I also am very weepy. I had a total knee replacement just 5 weeks before my band surgery. I appreciate your sharing. It helped me. Hang in there. We're all in this together.

I had lap band this past Monday, April 1st. I asked my dr about the shoulder pain. She said it is also the gas. It travels mostly to the left shoulder joint. I am experiencing the same thing. Using gas x and trying to move around.
