I am responding to your statement. I was on clear liquids for 3 days and full for ten days. My pain I was having was hunger but the gas pain was over powering the hunger so I couldn't tell the difference. Therefore I had to start thinking like a nurse. I decided to try some yogurt to see if my pain would stop. The got much improvement after I ate the yogurt. I was just hungry. I still have liquids but I also have a 4oz serving of food in baby food consistency. I feel great and I'm still losing weight. -

Hi there today I feel much better. yesterday my stomache was crmping gassy and grouling. I was so the gas pain was over powering the hunger pain the I realize I was actually hungry. I had to really sit down and think about it. I had to look at myself as if I was a pt. That is when I realized I wasn't feeding my body I wasn't eating enough food or drinking. all because of the cramping. So last night I went to the store and bought some yogurt and pudding. My stomache felt much better. This morning I don't have that feeling anymore.

hi I feel much better today. I was miserable yesterday with the bloating and gas. I sucked the juice from the grspefruit yesterday and it helped get rid of my gas. I still have some gas but not like yesterday. I feel wonderful today.

Hey Ebony I'm doing much better than yesterday I was so miserable with gas and bored. So my husband drove me around and took me shopping. I bought 2 shirts. I sucked the juice from the grapefruit that usually helped. and it did. I feel wonderful today. I just need to eat. I don't really have an appetite. I was too bloated and miserable.

Hi there I was banded on the 4th also and yesterday I was also feeling miserable, bored, depressed and very bloated. Yesterday was my worse day also. I wanted to just cry i was so miserable. My husband road me around in the car. took me shopping, he tried everything he could. We ended up playing dominoes and my son wanted me to do his hair. So I became involved in other things to keep me focused on something else. I decided to suck the juice from a grapefruit' that usually helped and it did. This morning I feel much better. I'm not as bloated; I can function better. Just stay focus. -

Good replies Hi Ebony I was looking for an email to see how everything went. I'm glad everyone is doing ok. We are going to need each other. I started my blog its: myra-smith.blogspot.com I'm going to write my progress there and post photos here and there. Come along. Today I had Rotisserie Chicken broth, and 2 cups of itallian ice. My Doctor said I can have a gasX chewable. I don't get hungry at all. I eat because I know I have to. -

you look awesome -
Hi I have not been banded yet My date is 8/4. I too haven't vomiting in about 30yrs and don't aloud myself to. I can't speak to you about vomiting after surgery, because I haven't experienced it. But, I'm here to talk to you about negativity. I will suggest to you if you are not 100% about the surgery and you need more time you need to take it. Please look at the positive and successful stories those would be your inspirations. This web site have good support groups. The lapband band is a tool to assist you have to change your eating habit and start eating heathy. and don't over eat you shouldn't have a problem.

I here a lot of people talk about answering questioneer I didn't have to do that. I set with the Psychiatris and he asked me several questions. I had to tell him about myself and my family, My health, we talk about my children and my husband his career and his support. He was impress the fact that I took my time and researched I new alot about the lapband and my reasons for sellecting the lapband verses other weight loss surgeries. I got my approval letter in 2 days he gave it to me.:tongue_smilie:. My surgery date is 8/4. Good look with yall journey.
