That is what I feel like! I can eat anything! Nothing gets stuck. Is this normal? I am not eating no where my before habits but still I feel like I am just a disposal. I have to wait 8 weeks for a fill and that is not until October 8th. I am sooo afraid of gaining weight but eggs just dont do it for me anymore...I am just starving! Anyone else experience this?

Well i had to stop the pill 2 months before surgery and I was wondering when can I start it again? I called and left a message for my doctor but as for doctors it could be a couple of days before I hear anything.

Good Morning! Yeah I know I am surprised myself that I have lost that much and I am not restricted at all. My first fill is not until October 8th so I cannot wait. I had my first experience with frothing/sliming last night... It was crazy but I just walked around and the food went down...I have a problem with eating to fast.

Welcome fellow New Englander! I am on the RI/MA line! I was banded in Boston in August and it was the best choice I have ever made! I cannot wait to see the results....Good luck to your whole family on your journey into band land!

My doctor said that it can cause blood clots and it is just for safety....I am dying to get back on it.....

9.12.08 220.8 9.19.08 219.4 I am down 1.4lbs for the week! :thumbup:I am superexcited since my hunger is soooo strong this last two weeks! I still have to wait until October 8th for my fill! 8 weeks they do it at!:thumbup:

I am superexcited that I am going on vacation in 11 days to vegas! I am going to see some of my sorority sisters....I am superexcited but there are going to be sooo many temptations on there!

Oh I can eat a lot....Doctor told me it was normal....

The nurse told me that I have to wait until my 8 week check up to ask the doctor if it is okay....Sh*t!

I completely understand! I cannot drink another protein shake...I am gagging on them! Hopefully after my fill I have to do two days liquid and I can get them down! Good luck everyone!

I kind of wish I experienced this because I can eat anything!

My doctor told me not to worry about calories in the beginning. Just make sure you get your 60-80g of protein a day and stay well hydrated. But everyone's diet plan is different. Good luck in your journey!

I had surgery at 1pm on a monday and I was back at work on thursday for a half day and then full days then on! good luck

I am the same way...I am a month post-op and can consume everything...I am not near my old portions but nothing gives me a problem! My doctor said it was normal and expect that until I have my first fill on October 8th! That Pinching feeling is exactly from eating to fast, not chewing well enough, or eating to much so usually I stop and thats that. Good luck with your journey!

Congrats! That is amazing! What do you typical eat in a day? Are you filled???

9/5/08 220.4 9/12/08 220.8 i gained 0.4lbs but TOM is suppose to be here any day now. I have been walking more at work and just in general everyday! Goal for this week is to start the gym!

I had the longest period ever after surgery, but i dont know if the 4 shots of bloodthinner had anything to do with it.

Congrats on the fill! Makes me less nervous for mine on Oct. 8th!

1. All my pants are too big for me!!! 2. All my shirts are no longer tight on me. 3. Everyone is noticing 4. I am having no problem working over 60hours in a week now! I cannot wait until I am under 200lbs just to see how it feels again!

8.29.08 223.8 9.5.08 220.4 I am down 3.4lbs this week! :tongue2: Still haven't been back to the gym but stilll working 60+ hours at work....I walk around and stand at work as much as possible. Oh I did go to the beach and spent 2 hours swimmming in the ocean. I still have one month to my first fill....right when I get back from Las Vegas.
