Thanks for all the advice...it def. helps. I just hope that they can start to understand what I am going through and what they are doing is NOT helping me just annoying me LoL

I just got banded on May 1st and things have been going good, but Im soooo sick and tired of people watching me like a hawk everytime I eat something and making comments like are you suppose to be eating that? are you suppose to be drinking that? have you lost any weight yet? I mean it is driving me NUTS!! And then I have a friend who I talk too a couple times a week and she's asking me how much weight have you lost? have you lost anymore? how much do they think your going to lose? I mean it's not going to happen overnight give me a freakin break!! I feel like Im under a microscope now and they expect some kind of transformation overnight! I dont know if anyone else has experienced this but I dont know how much more I can take before I snap!! I'm sorry but I just needed to vent! sheewww I feel a little better now LoL

I totally feel what you are going through! I am 2 weeks post op too and have only lost about 6 pounds I really thought that it would more than this too I guess our bodies just have to adjust to what is going on?? Im still on the liquid phase for 2 more weeks I am so tired of jello and popsicles I could scream! lol well I wish you luck I hope it gets better! Hang in there

Thank you everybody for the words of encouragment! They really help...Its def. getting easier! so one week down 3 more to go I know I can make it!

Thanks for the advice! I will be banded a week tomorrow and it has been a week for HELL! The whole liquid phase is killing me but I just have to tell myself that it wont last forever. I havent taken any measurements yet but I think thats a good idea!

Thank you! I guess every DR. is different it seems like everybody has a different post op diet..I can have shakes and some cream soups but 3 more weeks of this and then 2 weeks of pureed foods...we will see how it goes~

I am in the same boat you are...I got banded on 5/1 its been 5 days but I have been struggling with the whole liquid diet...I want real food! But it is good to know that I will be able to eat again soon..I hope!

Well I am new to all of this..I was just banded last Friday 5/1 and I am already struggling with this whole liquid diet!! I find myself being hungry for some REAL food! I dont know if it is normal to feel this way, but I am trying to hang in there..I can only think wow only 3 more weeks of this liquid phase but thats along time..LoL well if anyone has any advice that would be awesome..thanks!
