Please see post below for the beginning of this post.
After about 3 weeks of fun behind my boyfriends back, he caught me, (for a 2nd time) and of course, caught me off guard so I decided to end the relationship with him by telling him that I fell out of love with him awhile ago, even though it really came down to the excitement of someone else finding me attractive and going behind his back to have sex while still in a committed relationship.

Now that I have finally lost a lot of weight, I've decided to take my newly found self-confidence and cheat on my boyfriend of 11+ years. He was working nights and I was alone and, well you know, not being taken care of sexually. I decided to try an adult web site and wouldn't you know, men are finding me attractive (not unlike my boyfriend, who has been there for me and supported me all these years) and wanting me, again not unlike my boyfriend, but I said ok to meeting someone and once I did, I knew right away that I would be sleeping with this new guy ( and did after having 1 drink at the bar) even before deciding to end my current relationship.

Pain whenever I eat....
genetic_gem replied to genetic_gem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Texas, I had the same thing happen. I just talked with the surgeon yesterday, and she said that this is normal when transitioning into other foods as you have to get used to pushing them down. She said you will definitely know if the band has slipped as you will probably not be able to eat at all and be nauseated constantly. If your not vommitting and you can eat, I wouldn't worry until you can ask them yourself. Hope this help -
I had my band 3 weeks ago and still have pain. It's different for everyone. My doctor told me my body is actually going through another 3 weeks of healing, so don't worry if it takes longer than 2 weeks.

Doc said I shouldn't worry about it. He said as long as I can get food down and am not vomitting then it's just healing pains. Hope he's right. -

Thanks everyone. I actually have my first follow up appointment this afternoon, and I will tell my surgeon whats going on. I'll let ya know. -
Help! I am about 3 weeks post band, I have been eating soft foods mostly, but I admit I have cheated a couple of times. I have not been nauseated at all after anything I have eaten, but for the past few days I am getting sharp pains on the right of my belly button every time I eat. This happens even on the first bite, so I know it's not because I am full. I think my port is right where I am getting these pains. Anyone else have this problem?

Am I the only hungry one 2 days post op?

I don't know if I can give you encouragement, but I am definitely in the same boat! I had my surgery last Wednesday and am still pretty much bed ridden, and STARVING! I have been laying in bed watching movies and TV and every time I see food it drives me crazy. I have no energy from sipping on all these fluids and don't know what to do about it. I don't know how my body can heal with no nutrients. I just keep thinking about 2 more days until I can have a protein shake or yogurt, and that sounds like a treat:tongue2: Hang in there, this is the worst part. You have to prepare yourself for a couple months of these feelings, but from what I've read they will hopefully go away. You have no reason to feel bad about it and you have not failed. It's part of the process. -

Wonderful! I feel better already. Thanks everyone. I am definitely used to using part of my extra calories for vino.:thumbup: -

Thanks for the advice workingmom. I have been dealing with giving it up for a bit, but I was hoping I could work it back into my lifestyle in small amounts. Although it may not be so enjoyable without pairing it with food. Oh well, I'm sure it will all be worth it someday. -
Does anyone like to drink like I do? I enjoy red wine throughoughly and often and I am getting banded next week. How does moderate drinking effect you when banded? Anyone know from experience?

Does anyone PLAN on having the band removed once they reach their goal?

My date is set for May 19th. I still can't believe it's actually hapening. I hope it all goes well; I've never had surgery before or been in the hospital. Congrats to everyone else!
