I burp all the time, and at both ends too....but better than the discomfort of gas pain. HaHa! I haven't noticed a bad taste in my mouth though. Great progress you are having! Good luck!

Does anyone know of any Lap Band support groups in Fresno CA?

I did the same thing! lol...I made dinner for a few nights in a row for the family. But, it was rather strange...I wasnt hungry at all...just had a craving for that yummy food. I'm having to learn the difference between being hungry and a craving. The worst was the gourmet bbq bacon sirloin burgers the family had the other night. The smell was intoxicating, but I know eating those is how I got to this weight. So, I am finding it is a mental thing as well. I know others with the band but havent been able to get in touch with them and I was hoping to find an actual support group to attend here in my town. But, this site is great! I know it will be a place i visit often to talk with those who are going through similar things and get support and encouragement. Good luck to everyone and keep at it!

Hi there, I just had my Lap Band done on July 29th. I am going through some discomfort too....gas and soreness, back pain from sleeping on my back so much. I get bursts of energy and then wow.... just totally tired. I am planning on returning to work on Monday (today is Thursday), but if I don't improve I may push that date back a little. lol. I am excited to be eating mush vs drinking liquid only. I have no problems keeping anything down, but I did have an episode of dumping syndrome when I had some restaurant tomatoe soup...must have had too much sugar in it. But, lesson learned. Anyways, I will have my 1st fill Sept. 16 and I wish it wasn't so far away. I wonder when I can excercise? How is everyone else doing?
