pharts

Ill eat and then suddenly i will get that feeling of food stuck, i start burping or hiccuping and pain, some times i can eat heaps then other times its just acouple of mouth fulls, but i still feel hungry. just about every day i have to go and make my self sick to try and get the food out to stop the pain, does anyone else make them selfs sick?

Thanks, I burp heaps and real long ones, i hardly ever used to burp and if i did they were not long drawn out ones like i have now. My stomach always feels funny, like i can feel it floating around inside of me. Im hoping it will go, dont see the docter now for a month or so.

Hi i am a august bandstar and so far i have lost 7kgs, I have had 1 fill already. I have been getting this pain in the top half of my stomach about where the band is this pain is not there all the time but when i get it it hurts, it feels like my liver is rubbing on the band, I told my Doc that i get sore (didnt tell him it felt like my liver rubbing on the band) told him it felt like that feeling of butterflys in your stomach but painful ones He reckons its just gas. This is stopping me doing just about all exercise, Has anyone else had this feeling?, i get it if i do abit more exercise than normal or eat something that does not go down well. Problem is im getting it everyday.

I was banded on the 7th and im soooo sooo hungry for real food, I keep watching the food channel dreaming about all the foods im going to make when i can eat... one more week of liquids the on to mushies, i hope i dont break by then as im struggling to hold food back

I hope i wil feel better soon, sooo hungry my tummy isnt but i am strange feeling. will try and cut out my protien drink see if that helps but i only have one a day.

I was banded on the 7th Aug and i have still got stomach pains, the shoulder pain has gone, but the stomach is very tender and sore, I go back to the surgen next week, i am hoping it has not slipped. I have only been drinking Optifast as the docter ordered, and V8, coffee, water. Alot of the time i am double over and walk as if i have a carrot up my bum :biggrin: I had to take last night off work because of the pain. Is this normal pain for the first week? and when can i start to feel better?

Wow I cant believe that i got it done, noone has told me any rules yet, was only told to drink optifast for the next 2 weeks, but i see on here people only drink clear liquids im abit confused, i need some energy drink that will keep me going, can anyone help me Thanks

Can someone please give me the recipe for this egg drop soup thanks

I am due to be banded on the 7th and i have struggled with my per-op and have cheated acouple of times with a blue berry muffin YUM.... I was told had to go on a 6oocal a day but i think im over that by alot but everything i am eating is very low cal. Morning one protien Soup (dont like the shakes) lunch 1 egg and I peice of toast dinner 1 grilled chicken breast or steak and celery, brocli, carrots cooked in microwave with a bit of lemon juice, and eaten with cottage cheese. snack through out the day when i get hungry are carrots and coffee.

Thats great to hear that im due to go in on this Thursday 7th so more postives i hear like yours the better.

Hi im five days away from my op and would love to have this recipe for the post op diet and any others. thanks

Hi Im booked in to get the lap-band on the 7th aug sooo looking forward to it. I love food and im just wondering after the liquid period and the mushie period and you go on to normal food are you still allowed to eat takeaways, im starting to grieve already for them, Im hoping i can still eat them but not as much as i do now. I was hoping to have them once a week.
