Drinking while you're eating kind of has the same effect as turning on the sink with a garbage disposal. It flushes the food down faster so you are able to eat more without feeling full. This has been the BIGGEST challenge for me after surgery. I was used to drinking at last 2 bottled waters per meal. But, it does get easier. Best of luck!!

Hi!! I am a fellow bandster (9/17/08) and a nurse. I too had some sharp pains shortly after my surgery which I am sure is gas. To be sure, Gas-x or Mylicon is safe to take to see if the pain is relieved. If you start having pain accompanied by vomiting, then definitely go to the ER. Best of luck to you!!!

Hi! My name is Kim. I was banded on 9/17 and am doing fairly well although I must admit that I am still hungry at times. I have lost 9 lbs so far and am thrilled. My big problem is that I have 2 small boys, ages 5 and 2, that I have to cook for and who beg foe McDonald's on a daily basis. I am finding hard to stick to my "full liquid Diet" while trying to cook a "regular" dinner for my husband and children. Any suggestions?:girl_hug:
