It takes time. How long did it take the weight to come on? 4 years to leave may not be so. I know the puking does not sound like fun, trust me I've been. I just look for things I can eat and try not to turn to the fatty cheese and brownies. that's how we all get to where we are. Hopefully there is another doctor in your area that can you help you through this. they should have nutrionist on staff offering you help.

if your saying your stomach hurts and you can't eat then I would think they would understand not drinking. I wouldn't risk it this early.

I ended up taking liquid tylenol and walking for my pain. It will get better. Mine was the worst about 4 days in and then slowly went away. For the large incision your port is in that area so it will take longer to heal. At least that is what i was told.

Congrats. We are all here for you.

you know my first week week i wasn't hungry at all but about the middle of the 2nd week it started creeping in. You are not alone in this. I'm ready for my fill now!!! I think i still have a few though. All diets are different though. I'm eating solids now. I've just been making myself drink more H2O in between meals and that is helping alot. Keep your head up. I think you'll be fine.:redface:

Wow...you've done great. Congrats and keep up the hard work.

the healthy weightloss with the band is 1-2 lbs a weeks. sounds like your right on track. don't get so down on yourself. Your already off to a great start!!!:tongue2:

Congrats!!! I was banded on the 15th...going good so far. Hope all is going well for you too.

We start puree fruit day 3. I'm not tired yet. I've been getting in my 60 minutes. I'm lookin forward to the meat and eggs next week.

Stomach still tender too. I had to do optifast three 1/2 weeks before. I'm ready for real food next week. Let's keep in touch so we can help each other!!!
