I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the first couple of weeks I had "restriction" and was comfortable just eating/drinking small amounts. Now I am about 4 weeks post op and I can eat anything. I have had no adverse reactions to any food. Amounts of food as well. HELP! Anyone else having this problem???

I was banded 5/10 and am doing ok. I have lost 20lbs and am pretty happy with that. I am also hungry all the time! I can't have a fill for another 4 weeks. I have been trying to make the right food choices. I find that if I have had to much time lapse in between meals(aka no snack) then i am ravenous and eat whatever i can! I had a Water roll today and it was heaven. I actually ate it rather fast too because i was starving and i had no problems. I can pretty much eat anything and have no problems. So i am counting doewn the days to my first fill!! Loved that feeling of restriction post op due to the swelling!

I am down 20lbs and feeling better!! I have much more energy! I am having a hard time not eating everything I see! I have no restriction and that makes it so hard! I am getting my first fill in 4 weeks...can't wait!

i think with your arms down they look perfect! If it were me, I would def not want to go back under the knife! Too painful!!

It is very hard! Just do the best you can. If you can't get in all your Protein right now then that is fine. At least that is what my nutritionist said. i am glad to hear you're feeling better!!

Thank you for posting everyone!!! I was banded on may10th and i am really starting to struggle with hunger. Right now i am have some cream of wheat. It is yummy! I am suppose to be on full liquids, including yogurt and cottage cheese. Then on monday i am allowed to start incorporating soft foods into my diet. I am way too hungry though and have decided to start them a bit early. So far no problems.I had a teaspoon of Peanut Butter yesterday and a tablespoon of refried Beans today...still no problem....i am worried though that i will stretch my stomach and not even know it.

I was banded on the tenth. It wasn't until the sixth day of my recovery that I really felt better. I has a lot of issues with gas. I still feel pretty bloated. Having a hard time getting all of my Protein. I had Clear Liquids first 24 hours and now for the next two weeks i can incorporate cottage cheese, and yogurt into my diet. Next monday which is day 15, I will be able to move to pureed foods like applesauce and potatoes! I am so excited for that! I work overnights and this is my first shift back. Feelin pretty good! I have lost a total of 20lbs in the past three weeks(two weeks was pre op diet of Optifast). My belly is really swollen still though and very bruised.

How are all my may10-14th bandsters??!!!

Iwas banded on the tenth as well!! Feeling very sore and having a hard time moving around...but this too shall pass!!

I am having my surgery on may 10th....I am on day 8 of my liquids and for the past two days I have felt great on the opitfast shakes and SF jello/popsicles, and chx broth!! The first six days were very hard and I did sneak in a garden salad with chicken once, but seriously, If I can do it, You all can def do it!!!:thumbdown:

I got my surgery day today!! I will be banded 5-10-10!! So excited!!!
