Kami76065 19 Posted April 19, 2012 Had my iband surgery today. Got @3:00 +/- and I nurse about 1/4 c of Water. About 8:30 tonight had half of an orange Popsicle. I have a little headache, really just groggy after pain meds. Feeling empty and want something but not sure if I should. I don't really feel hungry, just empty.

Shannon28 26 Posted April 19, 2012 I had my surgery Monday and I wasn't too hungry at all until today. I was very bloated so I guess thats why. I know what you mean by the "empty" feeling. I didn't really feel like eating for the first two days but woke up extremely hungry and ready to eat today. Congrats on being banded and I wish you lots of luck!

Kami76065 19 Posted April 19, 2012 So... decided I needed something. Had 1/4 cup of chicken noodle Soup without and noodles, just broth. And was satisfied. Then had my meds, 1 tsp pain med, and 2 tsp of antibiotics. Those three teaspoons put me over the top. Now miserable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now miserable[/quote'] I was banded today too- we are twins!!!- and my doc told me 1-2 oz per hour for the first 24 hours then increase as tolerated to 4-6 ounces per hour. This has helped me I think. Not a speck of nausea yet broth did make me especially burpy tonight tho... I know what you mean about the empty feeling. I'm hoping I just get used to it?
