Looking For A May 10 Band Buddy

[secretgarden38 4]

Hi everyone , well with my diet intake I was able to eat fish and mashed potatoes . My first real meal felt so good.

Also, has anybody had issue with gases I'm taking beano now but my first day back to work I was gassy all day I hope this is not permanent.

I don't feel as of yet restriction when eating, I do feel like my hunger is kicking again however I am thinking that once you have your 1st fill that is when you are going to be more restricted

Also, when eating or sometimes after does anybody get the shoulder pain? And I continue to have hiccups

Doing great here! Moved on to mushies, what are y'all eating?

Also I forget to eat alot ,

I measure my serving to no more than a cup but usually less. And between Breakfast and dinner I usually just don't even think about food at all! It's amazing. I do struggle at night to not snack and not eat out f boredom.

I am still on a liquid diet. Supposed to be on it for 4 weeks. I am supposed to have my follow up visit tomorrow, but my boss has family here and was irritated I think because I just returned to work today, so she has taken the rest of the week off. I cancelled my appt and will have to reschedule it.

I'm feeling pretty good. I wore jeans yesterday and by the end of the day my port site was hurting, My waistband hits exactly where the port is. Other than that, I feel great.

Checking in..... I'm down 16.2 lbs since banding May 10th. I go Monday, June 11 for a fill. I'm excited and nervous. I am learning to chew really well sure don't want any stuck and sliming episodes we..., just saying....

I still have a little lingering port pain. My incisions are itching like crazy!

I have pretty much gotta back to a normal diet, just have to make sure to take small bites, chew, and eat slowly.

At my two week check up the surgeon told me to call and schedule a fill when I feel like I need one, just to be sure that all my port pain is gone because he would have to push on my stomach to find the port.

I still can't take my anti depressant, it makes me sick.... Not good!

Any way I am starting to feel like a normal person again! Yay!

I feel pretty good, more energy. I only have some port stinging at times when my waistband is on my port. I am down 41 pounds since starting the pre-op diet. My weight loss seems to be at a standstill the past week. Up 3, down 3. Not quite sure what to do about it.

I am finally able to go to soft foods, yaay! I have been really hungry. I couldn't make my post- op appt because my co-worker took the rest of the week off as soon as I came back. Called my doctor to reschedule and they said if I felt fine, I could schedule an appt. for a fill. Well, it was June 20th, but now my boss is going to a training in Washington that week so now it is the 27th. My surgeon only sees patients 2 days a week. Has surgeries the other days. I am concerned about eating solid foods with no fill. I feel that I need one very badly. I am hungry a lot and do not feel any kind of restriction or full feeling when I eat. I'm worried I will gain weight back.

Angel I feel you I don't feel the restriction and I'm already on my soft diet, my surgeon is also the same way; patients on Monday's or Tuesday's therefore my first fill will be in 2 weeks, I want it now

How is everyone? I had my first fill of 3cc in my band, I guess I have a 14cc band. No problems with the fill.

I am feeling pretty good, had a weight loss stall for awhile. I have lost 45 pounds now since my pre-op diet.

I was banded may 1. I have my bad days and my good days. I still feel I need to stay focused on a more strict diet
