I was banded on the 27th too. I have a lot of gas. Today I drank juice instead of Water and I feel so full I don't know what to do now.

I was banded on the 27th also. most of the surgery pain is now gone, but the gas does flair up every now and then. Gas X dissovable has worked good. good luck to everyone!!!

I woke up today with an upset stomach. I have done well until now. I haven't felt nauseous until now. I haven't got sick yet. My stomach feels really empty. I have been keeping up with my fluids to stay hydrated. I am not drinking any Protein shakes yet. Doc said not a big deal until I am on my full liquid diet (1 week post op).

I was on the Atkins diet pre op and lost 12 pounds. I have only lost 3 pounds since surgery on 8/27. I see some of you have lost more. How much walking is everyone doing?

I too was also banded on the 27th. I am in the same boat as ya'll. The first thing I remember saying in recovery was "This hurst alot more than I thought it would" The port site pain was crazy bad for me. I have been walking the length of my street, sometimes just half to deal with my gas pain. Now don't get me wrong. There are only 4 houses on my street so it's not too far. I am still taking my pain meds about twice a day. And honestly some of my pain comes from starving. Yesterday I was taking a little nap and my stomach growling actually woke me up. :thumbup: My follow up is tomorrow and I am pretty sureI go to mushies then. I can not wait!!!:biggrin:

Hey I was banded on Aug 27th. I've only had Water, juices and clear Soup. My belly is making all kinds of sounds. My post-op visit is Fri Aug 3. My total weight loss since banded is 14 pounds.

I had some pain the first night I did not take the pain medication I was scared my belly was going to get upset. Overall I feel good Monday I went to the store and pick up a few things today I went got my hair done it was a mess.

Anybody in Los Angeles,CA where I'm located.

my bloating seems to be going away a little at a time, but now my port site is still swollen and sore. Everything else is moving right along and I feel pretty good!
