Hello, I was banded on Feb 4th, 2008. I have not eaten for about a week. Sipping broth, was able to do a little cream soup. Hot tea works best for me. Mostly Hot drinks, Soups ect... I cannot eat even yogurt or oatmeal yet. I tried a scrambled egg this morning, but no go... My surgery went well, but I woke up with that gas pain in my shoulder and a great deal of nausia. I am down about 6 pounds since the surgery, was hoping to make it to the 180 somethings today, but I am stuck at 192.4 it seems... Not sure why, perhaps I am not taking in enough to shed these pounds... My husband and I are going to purchase a treadmill today and I will begin walking as long as I can stand it today. I am not sure if I am expecting too much or what. Going to call the doc today to make the post op appointment, see what I can do to get this moving along... I cannot eat really, and no hunger at all which I am so grateful for. I can make it most of the day without a pain pill now, so I feel pretty good about that. Had to take one last night as the oatmeal I tried hurt me alot and I made it real soupy, but not going down... I am curious does your body go into like shock and won't turn loose of those pounds? Like I feel like I eat nothing for days and should be down at least a couple and it appeared I gained like .4 pound perhaps I am checking too often?
Steadfast & Working hard-
Michelle
