Well im on the other side too now felt silly at the hospitial being al ow BMIer and the nurses were bigger than me and seemend to be judging me !!! , I have had a few problems with frothing up, which from what I have now read is from the band intially being too tight and finding it hard for even Water to go down the salivia mounts up trying to lubricate then you can vomit, I found this happened when I drank a little too much or drank then lay sown afterward if I stay upright for a while Im ok .

Today It has only happened once thankfully as its not pleasant, the doc said that when the swelling goes down a little it should pass and if it didnt then I would have to have some fill out.

Im down 3kgs since surgergy, and blending my Soups well & still having shakes I made macoroni for the family the other day and made some extra cheese sauce for me YUM.

My port hole is a little sore still but ok having trouble swallowing pills so ahve avoided them

I havent really felt hungry and when I did a little a sip of tea and it dissapears, a 1/2 can of Soup a day and berocca at this stage is what my body is getting.

Ish have you had your first fill? did you get hungry yet?

Hope you are well

Welcome Pene hope all goes well for you soon on the 24th where are you going ?

I went to DR Chan in

Hi again hope all is well with you did you have to stay on Clear Liquids at all for a few days? Are you sore or were you ? I cant belive I only have a week to go!!

as you swelling gone down and have you started to feel hungry again when is your first fill

How are you goimg with small mouthfuls chewing slowly etc

Well I hope you are enjoying the soft foods by now

Hey Ish any news how was the surgergy, what liquids are you taking

Good luck for Thursday,im not having to do the Optifast thing as I am a Low BMi Bander

BMI 33,I have 3 co-morbids though

But have lost alot recently to prepare I hate Optifast and all simular things I find it really hard and I had a long stint with them a while back

I am heading to Dr Chan for surgery on 15th of November I live Outer East melb where are you?

6kgs fantastic start what are your stats?

I am also worried about my mind hunger worried it wont recognise the satiety feeling ??? I am worried I will only recognise full

i think I will struggle but do as they say and stick to the advised food portions even if I dont feel the satiety so I can tell them how much I need to be filled , I just hope they give enough fill asap so im not waiting too long in between!!

I have read on here some people can take upto the 3rd fill before its right and they feel satiety:eek:

Anyway hope all goes well and looking forward to hearing all about it when you are up to it

cheers

My date is 15 November how are you going???getting more nervous...Im wondering if Im doing the right thing
