Same with me I had my gall bladder removed 2 years ago and no matter when or what i eat it always comes right back out. I am use to it by now. Ever since getting banded however that has really slowed down but im sure thats just cause there isnt as much food going in as b4... I would love it if it would go away all together but i doubt that will happen. I would def talk with your doctor about it. Good Luck..

Thank you guys!!! I love listening and learning! I am excited about my band just a little nervous but im sure thats expected! I try to take everything i eat nice and slow and only a tiny bit at a time so i think thats working for me. I know i need to find some other protein powder case the cookies and cream kind i have I am already sick of! I also have a vanilla one that i mix into my hot coffee in the AM and that works for me...I will just take one day at a time and try to work as a team with my band! Thank you guys again for talking to me and explaining some things i was unsure of!!!

I was banded on Jan 15th~ Im on mushy foods at this point however anything you put in your mouth and chew 20+ times turns to mush..lol I felt full in the beginning after eating only around 2 ounces but now it seems like i want to eat all day..even though im not doing that but nothing seems to satisfy me...most things don't even taste good! I go for my first fill Feb 25th and Im scared about that. Right now I have no problems with any foods I have tried. I don't even know what "sliming" and " PB" mean. I guess this is all trial and error? I lost over 20 lbs on the liquid stage of the diet but I swear i feel like im gaining all that back even though im only eating little bits at a time!! Im sorry im going on and on but im so confused im my head! O and I have no energy! I try to drink protein shakes during the day but I am so sick of them!! I know they call this part " Banster Hell" but it seems like even after fills people have other problems with even swallowing food so it looks like this is just the beginning of many more problems to come??

I am a smoker as well..I know it was not good prior to surgery or after but i just tried to slow way down b4 and after. I am 5 days post-op and smoking I to feel like i can only concentrate on changing one thing at a time! Glad your feeling well and congrats on your new life change!

I am 5 days post-op and itching like crazy around my incisions..is anyone else having this problem? Im feeling fine other then a little sore and lots of back pain.

Well im officially banded!! Went in this morning at 9 got back to hotel at 3 everything went perfect Doc was even proud of me sticking with the liquid diet for 12 days and said my liver was small and perfect and made his job easier!! :thumbup: Now as for me the pain from the surgery isnt bothering me at all but the air/gas trapped hurts like hell and im coughing a lot which makes it hurt worse....other then that I do feel some very strong hunger pains for some reason, I never really did feel them that bad b4...Im just glad this part is over with and I can start to heal and live my new life with my new best friend!!!!!:w00t:

Just wanting to wish you 13th bandsters Good Luck!! Can't wait to hear back when your all done and feeling better!! The 15 isn't to far away I may be a bit more nervous as the time counts down but also very excited about a new life change!! Once again Good Luck to all!

Thats such a great question!! And one of my fav foods as well..however I can't really answer your question but never thought to ask it either..I get banded this Friday..im sure I still have a million questions but my head is everywhere on top of trying to make it through this liquid diet!! Good luck to you and maybe someone will answer that so well both know the answer!! :thumbup:

My surgery is at 11:00 jan 15th...I am a bit nervous but more focusing on getting through this liquid diet which i have been on for 8 days now..im just taking one thing at a time! Congrats to everyone and good luck!!!

Well today is day 8 on liquids..Saturday was so hard for me for some reason, i was thinking about food all day but thank goodness i didn't cheat im sure I would have felt bad right after! Counting today only 5 more days till surgery, i guess im not really nervous im more just focusing on this liquid diet to get through it and haven't really even thought about being scared of the surgery...Im so ready for this!! Congrats to you all..good luck to the people going in this week for surgery!!!
