  1. Don't feel bad. Remember today is a new day. How bad can fish tacos be and if they were the ones all fried up take that as cheat day and tomorrow start anew. Just remember when you eat something and want to chew to make sure you chew your food very very well. I'm about 10 days post op and had 1/2 and egg roll (the day after my family order Chinese) so it was cold. I learned the hard way trust that is not a soft food when not warmed up plus chewing. When you feel like you messed up just remember to calm down, just breathe and today is a new day

    Salty Foods

    I have only been banded for two weeks and have notice the scale isn't moving any more. Actually it went up a pound or two. When I spoke to the surgeon he said Im probably retaining water. When I looked at some of the stuff I was having salt was the issues.
  3. I just went for my first follow up and he too has me waiting 4-6 weeks more until my first fill. It's because the stomach is still swollen. He also told me just be mindful to what I eat and remember to chew. My hardest thing to remember to do is not to drink and eat at the same time
  4. Heat heat and more heat. It does get better in the next few days

    Banded February 9

    Thanks so much. It makes me feel so much better hearing what others have gone threw. Ice pops were great yesterday. Today I'm going to try to have a protein shake. What's funny is my stomach is starting to growl but not hungry but I feel good
  9. I was banded Thursday. I took the gas x but not sure if it helped any. The heating pad really helped my shoulder and chest pains I was having from gas. I am totally not hungry at all and taken sips of water which feels weird going down but I figured I have to get used to havering a band on me. Each day I get a little better. Today I went outside and got a little light headed but all and all it was good. You got this we all got this.

    No restriction

    I had my surgery also the 19 and am having the complete opposite problem not hungry at all. Making my self drink water and protein shakes. I keep getting up and walking around my house. I have very little chest pain stomach is still sore and u realized talking to much hurts haha. I emailed my dr about not being hungry and they said that that's normal because things are still swollen. Good luck. We got this
  11. I was wondering if any after being banded was not hungry at all. I am able to drink some water but don't really want that either. I it does feel a little weird going in my belly now I'm just assuming it's something I have to get used too. Today is a better day. Just a little discomfort
  12. I have been trying to drink my protein drink but I'm so not thirsty or hungry. I'm a teacher and what kind of sucks in this is I was hoping to have the surgery monday so I would have had the week off. I go back Monday but I see how I'm feeling. Maybe a popsicle would be better. My throat is a little sore
  13. Funny that's how I was wednesdAy. And so nervous yesterday. I have never had any surgery before. Good luck you got this
  14. Sorry. The not was supposed to be I am. I did get banded yesterdayv
