    Stuck help please

    I was just banded on 3/30/08 and i am suppose to be on clears and soft foods for 4 weeks. Not sure about the meat and potoatos....If it feels stuck, they told us in the class, especially since you are only 2 weeks post op, you should call your md. It is however, a good sign you are not vomiting, right? Nausea? If you experience those things you should call ASAP! Good Luck...these are the things that scare me!! I dont look forward to the day I experince this.... I hope you feel better...

    Just got banded on 3/3/08

    Full liquids for 4 and then the first fill....I was banded in Kentucky.... I see you have lost 9 lbs?? That is great!! I try to stay off the scale, but you know...I work in a medical office as well so it is really hard to not step on it daily. I feel like since i am not eating ANYTHING.....I should be dropping more! I know....I know..... I am glad to hear you are doing well and about in the same place i am. So, have you started the cardio activities yet??? They told me I should be on my treadmill by now :smile: Not sure how i feel about that one...guess i better get on that!!

    Just got banded on 3/3/08

    I think i was disalussioned...i had my gallbladder taken out a few months ago by the same surgeon and he told me basically it would be very similar. I never took one pain pill for that! this was a little bit worse. The gas was pretty bad for the first 3 nights. My dr. kept me in over night. He keeps all his laps in over night for control of pain and n/v. I have had no nausea or vomiting....jsut some belly pain. Feels like i have done a million sit ups (well, like i know what that feels like). I am down 7 lbs and it has been one week yesterday. But again....I am hungry every 3-4 hours and tired of the liquids but...i know it wont be forever!!! Good luck with your surgery!
  6. I just got banded on 3/3 and am doing pretty well. I only took 1 week off work. I am a health care provider, so it is fairly hard to cancel my days. The only difficuly I am relly having is that i am getting bored with the liquids!! I am looking forward to my Journey ahead. I have about 75 lbs to loose but have severe HTN that is uncontroled with meds. I used this as a tool along with a new exercise program to hopefully get my life and BP under control!!
