I am on liquids also, I was banded May 24th and my belly is still huge. Mylanta chewables have helped ALOT...You might try that to get some of the gas out. Its terribly uncomfortable...I have found all post diets are different. Mine now is thin soups and protien drinks 2 ounces every 2 hours. Compared to what I was eating before my body has no choice but to lose weight. I love this site...Im just figuring out how to use it. It is very confusing. Good luck on your weight loss.

Xeiah, I didnt have any pro op diet either and I gained 7 LBS. I ate every meal like it was my last...Youll be fine...

Hey guys, I was worried about nausia also because I get carsick even whenIm driving...Its bad for me...I told the anesthesiologist and he had the nurse put a patch behind my ear he called it Scope but it has a longer name...Its for when you are traveling like dramamine but dr strength...I wasnt nausias once...Maby that would work for you...

Hey Dr Cribbins did my band last Thur...Hes cute huh...I hated the hospital stay but really like the d4r. and his staff. Good to see someone I can have a band bond with....Take care...:clap2:

Your six days out and you eating mashed potatoes...Im so jealous...For the next five weeks I cant eat anything that doesnt come though a straw...Different Dr.s I guess...Enjoy those potatoes...I got banded on Thur and I already feel better about myself because I know how hot Im going to be when all is said and done....Best of luck to ya...

Well I wasnt on the calander but I got banded on May 4th...So far it has been alot easier than I thought. I have quite a few questions...The only place Im haveing pain is on the side of my port. I coughed this morning and it felt like I was being stabbed. Im sure that goes away but to future bandstrs thats a good FYI...Also I havent poohd since the day before surgery. When do I break doun and take somthing???And if I need to does anyone have a suggestion on a liquid on are somthing small.Its hard to hide the taste of anything in 2 oz. And thats me for the next 5 weeks...I have been able to walk since day one. When I got out of the hospital I went shopping with my mom and to the movies yesterday...I hear that you heal better if you move more...Hope it works...Im hitting the gym in one week and I am ready to get rid of these LBS. :clap2:

Well its done. I had my surgery on the 24th. All is well so far but my port area is bothering me...Is that normal?? All the other incisions I dont even feel which is great but moving with that port is a bitch. Hopefully its normal and it will pass...Hope everyone is doing good. I am looking forward to my newife...

I am newly single and had told my ex about the surgery and he said he loved me the way I was...But its not about how they love us...Its about how we love us...Im getting banded this Thur and I am very excited and happy to be single through this part of my life...When I start dating again I will decide if he is worthy of knowing about the band...And if I tell him and he doesnt like it then he can move along caus Im not getting any younger....

You lost 90 lbs in 6 months???That is so great...I hope Im as successful...Im gettign banded on Thur the 24th of may...Im so excited and getting a little nervous too. Im excited to get to be a new and improved me...congrats on your success.....

Im getting banded on May 24th...I cannot wait...I have been reading about people on a preop diet...My Dr didnt say anything about one. I have my Proop Dr visit on May 16th. Will he tell me then or is it up to the individual. I have been pigging out...That sounds terrible but its true...Any suggestions??

Good luck on your surgery...The suspense is about to kill me. Im getting banded the day after you so we will have to track together...Im 5'3 197...Id like to lose about 75 lbs...Ugh...Any thoughts on how to get passed the FOOD OBESSION....Thank goodness there is a free support group with my surgery...
