Hello all, i was banded on Sept 13th 2010 and started out pretty well, recently I have discovered that I can eat just about anything the only difference between then (pre op) and now (post op) is that I can't eat as much as I used to which is a blessing in itself, however I feel like I am eating too much and my stomach and especially port site feels "sore" if I eat too much what will it do to the pouch? and the port? will it cause damage? i have not thrown up or ate so much that anything go stuck ... but the soreness persists at most meals. I have about 3 cc's or possibly 4 in my band ..can anyone share their experience with me..as far as eating too much and what it does to the pouch i'm a little worried about what i am doing to myself.. I am not following a diet as I should i kind of got a little crazy when I could eat meals again..help me get back on track please..thanks my fellow bandsters.

I had my lap band put in the same day you had yours coincidentally.:lol: It sounds like your eating to much. Are you doing other things while your eating? When my stomach feels sore its usually because I'm reading or something while eating and I stuff myself to full. I don't usually throw up either, just stretching the pouch which is the last thing you want to do.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
