thank u so much...i feel better now...i am 2 month post surgery...just havent been able to get any time off from work to go get my fill til now....I am excited now
-
so I have completely fallen off the wagon...as in sometimes I feel like I never even got this procedure done...I got to the point where I can eat whatever and how much ever I want...I am going for my first fill next Friday...does anyone have any advice on what I should do to prepare? I heard someone about a pouch test? should I do that? and what exactly is that?..I dont want to go to the Dr to get my fill and I still am able to eat whatever because my pouch is stretched...I have no idea what to do...I am definitley disappointed in myself...but I am going to get back on track..just need some motivation and advice...anyone!?

Yup!!! Omg such pain!! It was horrible! I tried to eat a wheat tortilla and it just sat there...5 hurls and 4runs to the bathroom I still felt like something was stuck but everytime I stuck my finger down my throat nothing but spit came up. Horrid!

I had so so so much pain the 1st 4 days, do not feel bad..this will pass...I was banded on the 18th of June and never thought I would feel this great. I could barely move my body was so sore and full of gas pain the 1st week. Do not worry, Do not give up, and DO NOT lose hope...mark my words...you will be all better in no time

Hey I was just reading this article and thought about you...it was about being light headed, dizzy or cramping when just starting the "5 day pouch diet" which is similar to what we go thru when we get a fill..clear liquids, shakes and mushies. Well it said that you can eat a small piece of melon or orange. You can also take a dosage of Emergen-C. They explain that it is a carbohydrate withdrawal..vs a sugar withdrawal?? I don't know just thought I would pass on the info.
