Hello i was reading your thread and i know how u feel i went through a horrible divorce last year after having my 1st child and i hade food as my comfort eating night and day everything i could find thinking of food just imagining what i would eat after i finish eating at 233 lbs i looked and felt horrible not leaving the house ever cuz nothing fit me and all i did was watch Netflix in bed and eat ( not so healthy) so i said how long is this gonna go on where will it lead me i got banded 9 days ago and ever since that and the liquid diet (witch was sooooo hard!!!!!) i lost 20 lbs i still have a long way to go but im hanging in there im not gonna lie its hard theres times you wanna give up i did have thoose many many times just wanted to call it off but i didnt im here i did it and im gonna keep doing it i hade a hard time with recovery gas pain was excruciating for me but I did it u can too u just gotta know its gonna be hard and its gonna take time and its not pleasant but in the end well know its worth it good luck to you i hope god gives u the strength to go through this and i hope u have a good and speedy recovery gbu .

After a long week today I'm feeling much better the gas pain was so much i was regretting my surgery because of that excruciating pain not to sound too dramatic but it hurt So a friend of my fathers who has the lap band recommended some pills for gas and they were amazing took 2 pills and right away felt better . I went in for my post up yesterday it was suppose to be today but since i wasn't feeling good went in a day before i am happy to say I'm 20 lbs down they removed liquid from my band hade about a 1/4 cc they said prob thats why i hade discomfort and did a X-ray they seen that I'm still very swollen and that i am still full of gas overall I'm doing better and hade my first meal today since 3 weeks i was very afraid to eat i ate slow and got satisfied fast so i guess I'm doing good thank God.

Not sure forgot to ask i will ask next time i go in

I been experiencing this feeling for the past few hours now about 4/5 hours maybe. i feel very very bloated like my stomic will explode and this pressure its horrible cant sleep don't know what to do i called the doc on call and he said to come in tomorrow I'm not doing good this upset stomic makes me regret this surgery i just wish i felt better :...( Any one know what this is has anyone felt this Before ?

Im not feeling to well thinking omg what have i done im in pain not so much to take pain medication its way too strong i took it the first 2 days i get nocked out when i drink it so im laying off it but i have nausea and just not feeling to well will i ever feel normal its been 3 days since my surgery but im not good with pain People that have been banded for a while do you feel normal ?

Gotta say thanks to everyone for the support really helped its been a real up and down with me these past 4 days right now im doing much better thank God . Switching to liquid Tylenol was the best thing i ever did couldn't take anymore of the narcotics way too strong. I still have gas pain in my stomic and in my chest does anyone els have it there too i see most ppl complain about it in the neck and shoulders and how long does it last when will it go away i know everyone is diferent but just to get an idea ?

What is the heat pad never herd of it ?

Thanks it feels good to know that

Made it through 12 days of the liquid diet 2 more days till surgery im almost there but im proud of myself that i made it this far looking back i thought i wouldn't go another day with those shakes it was hard but i did

Im 2 days out of my surgery and im Supposed to be drinking clear liquids and jello and Popsicles Broth ex... But i cant all im taking is water and tea is that ok i feel fine just not hungry no appetite or cravings at all ?

Its ok dont think about it no more dont punish yourself get right back up u can do this we all fall at some point but its ok we can get right back up wishing u the best good luck

Cook some ecalipto herbs in the house that helps alot

My surgery is on the 19 of march I'm on my pre op diet for 4 days now just protein shakes and soup its so hard for me so much that i wanted to cancel my surgery today ???? (i didn't) its hard I'm a emotional eater and i been through so much this past year food was my comfort and now getting used to not eating is hard i have a 1 year old and feeding him is also hard im hoping ill get used to it reading all theese stories helped alot wish me luck even though i want to give up i wont loosing wight is one of my biggest goals

I am now 10 days in on the liquid diet and its much easier then it used to be im not hungry anymore as i used to be i feel i a little better i still get mental hunger but im getting though it and i need 5 days to surgery so hang in there dont give up its hard but no pian no game !
