I've found you guys ... lol ! I noticed others on here that are having the same issues as me. I was banded on 3/25. Im always hungry the last few days. Nothing is keeping me full. So I ate half of a whole grain bagel AND NOTHING happend. I felt no pressure ,tightness. No discomfort at all. anyone with any ideas let me know

So if the Government shuts down my husband will not get paid,our soldiers will not get paid and the men and woman serving overseas will not be paid. Hope they figure this out or a lot of us are screwed.

I cant find the thread on the post op side. Im not very good at this..lol ! It's 12 days post-op and the bubble in my chest is finally gone and I think my swelling is gone bacause my protien drinks,cream soups and jello arent keeping me full and my stomach is actually growling. Havent weighed myself either in a couple of days but everyone at school said they can see it in my face and thigh area( I have to wear scrubs every day). So thats a plus : )

I was looking forward to the weekend till I looked at all my school work..two tests to study for , Muscles,bones and heart. Plus homework....waaaaaaaa : (

OMG I still have that terrible gas that comes up then stops in my chest and goes back down. I called the nurse and she said it should be gone very soon and to keep walking. But this makes me feel like Im having a heart attack and the pressure is awfull. I go for a one week check up Saturday . I hope it's gone by then or I hope they can give me better answers.

So Mason keeps lifting up his shirt and pointing at his belly and calling it a butt....lmao !

I was never told either about sleeping on sides, I too have been using a pillow . But Dr. said I could use a stomach support to help it from hurting when I move around. you can get them at any drug store. I started my thicker shakes today and strained cream Soups and I have to say i feel so much better. The liquid diet was making me light headed and week. And I too love looking at Marcy's meal...lol ! Can't wait to share recipes too : )
-
So sorry you are having so much trouble...glad you went to see your Dr. hopefully things will be looking up for you
-
Back to school tomorrow and have 2 tests...ughhh ! Feeling good, hunger is starting to kick in . Can't wait to drink a Carnations Instant Breakfast tomorrow...lol ! Then in 10 days I can eat soft foods..woo-hoo !
-
Yep sounds like what I have. But I dont have any back pain, but I have read others on here that have back pain too. If I could just get rid of this bubble I'd feel pretty good. But mine has nothing to do with the liquids , Cause I even wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I have to burp but it goes back down.
-
Starting to feel the hunger today. I was banded Friday , I cant wait to add in my protien shakes tomorrow. Who would have thought I'd be craving protien shakes...lol ! Still a little sore where the port is and I still have that DANG air bubble that wont come up.
-
Good Luck and hope you have a speedy recovery !

I've talked to my Dr. and it's just the gas it's going to take time for your body to obsorb it or pass it.

Did anyone else have a hyadle hernia repaired with their lap-band surgery? I still have gas trapped and every time it comes to the top It stops and I get this terrible pressure in my chest and then it goes back down. I cant seem to burp to get it out.
-
It really depends on what your eating. I had some reall bad for a day. It was my protien mix made by Kellog(tea flavor). Once I switched it went away.
-
Thought I was reading a book....lol ! It's very scary when you think this is for the rest of your life, but you have to keep thinking how happy you will be when all the post op stuff is over. I still have bloating to and the walking isn.t helping either. Hopefully by the 3rd day It will be gone.
-
I was told that the liquid diet was just to prepare you for after the surgery. I only had to do it for a week. I would be upset too that they just tell you this when they new this information for a while. Just keep it up and I think they will still do the surgery. Did they say how much you needed to lose?
-
HI Joy JOy , I was the same way. Had my done yesterday the 25th. And to make it worse the surgery center was running behind and it made me even more nervous almost second guessing myself . but my husband was a great supporter. You will do great !
-

-
