This looks really interesting, thanks. I've been in contact with a homeopath and she recommended that I start colosynthis (I'm not really sure what this is) and then I am also going to start something called kali carb. Tomorrow I'm getting a massage to try to speed along the process. This virus has been hanging around for over 6 weeks!

Lyndsey, Thanks for the reply. I was taking Advil, but have now switched to Tylenol. I've been battling a flu-like virus since before my surgery and it just doesn't seem to want to go away.

Hi, I just had my first fill. I had 1cc and the dr. made some reference to my having the larger band, I think. I have been having trouble getting anything down, even aspirin. I've also had a lot of burping. Do you know if this eases, or is this the way it is. I'm trying really hard to eat small bites and go slowly. Today I had water come back up. This is not fun. Any advice?Sandy

Hi, I enjoyed reading these daily intakes. I have a few questions. I noticed that most were under 1,000 calories. Is that typical? I'm not sure I could keep up my energy with so little. I am newly banded and realize I won't be eating real food for awhile but I want to be mentally prepared. Sandy

Hi KT. Thanks for the reply. I'm seeing my dr. tomorrow for the first post-op. I have a feeling he will put me on mushies. I had split pea soup today and it went down really well. I even took my vitamins, which are in capsule form and they went down really well. I'm thinking that my band must be very loose. Sandy

Hi, I was just banded on June 20th. I'm feeling fairly well. The liquid diet is not very satisfying but I'm making it. I am feeling tired and sluggish. Anyone else? Sandy

Today is day six for me. Tomorrow I see the dr. for the post-op appt. I'm hoping he puts me on soft food. I cheated a bit and began eating cottage cheese last night. It went down fine. I am beginning to feel more energetic. A week before my surgery I came down with a viral bug that hit all of a sudden. I "forgot" to tell my dr. because I didnt' want to be canceled. I guess my body is a bit overwhelmed by everything that is going on, hence the exhaustion. Today I am feeling a bit more like myself so I think things are looking up. Sandy

I am so with you on the not feeling energetic. I feel sooooo tired and limp. This is day 5. Did you have any drawbacks from having creamed soups so early? I think my dr. plans for me to start mushies this Wed. It seems a lot earlier than what I've been reading, but I'm not going to complain. Sandy

I think I will be going off liquids this Wednesday. Can I ask why you are on liguids for so long? Sandy
