I got hungry on Day 4. Then it went away on day 7 when I was allowed to move to mushies. on day 10-11 it came back but now that my doc has said i could move to semi soft like Eggs and moist tuna i find that i dont get hungry at all and have to remind myself to eat. I suspect the hungry monster to return in a few days.

Is it normal to have a heart burn like pain nearly constantly. It usually only lasts 2-3 seconds but it is throughout the day. Usually when I burp or my stomach spasms a bit. It feels like soreness at the band site. It is starting to bother me 9 days post op. and i think perhaps that the pain meds i was taken up until 7 days post op were keeping it minimal and thats why i didnt notice it. Its really really starting to bother me. I am thinking of going and taking some Extra Strenght Tylenol or something cause its hard to function being in pain all day. Just a note its not constant pain and its not excruciating by any means its just a semi dull heartburn like pain at the bottom of my throat. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Banded May 15th. Seems like weeks have gone by and its only been 3 days. Pain is much better and gets better everyday. I am still doing Full liquid Although today I had Some EggDrop Soup and had no problem getting it down. One odd thing i have noticed is that when i eat i dont ever feel hungry but if i Drink Any Water i get hungry FAST. And as long as im drinking water I have hunger pains. Its kinda annoying. Makes it harder to drink water.

Im one day Post op at the moment and the pain is quite managable. I dont Have the Shoulder Pain and its mainly just some Port Pain and a little bit of a Gassy Bloated Feeling I have been Taking my pain meds and i slept great last night in my recliner

Im set for surgery May, 15th!!!

Hello everyone, My name is Chris, I am male 28 years old, currently weigh in over 300lbs and live in Springfield, Mo. I am considering/Planning on getting banded. I go to my first orientation on the 23rd of August. I am very scared and a little bit excited about getting banded. I think the scariest part for me is the change in Diet. I love my comfort foods and diet soda. I am very glad I found this site and plan on asking all sorts of questions as they come. Thank you for having me! -Chris
