Hi all, I was banded on 3rd June 12, i am now a week into my mushies...poached eggs...fish...mashed potato ect. For the last 2 days I have had a strange feeling when i stand up and walk around, It's asthough I can feel the band inside me and also feel bloated and a bit of pain if I try to pull my stomach in.

I wondered if anyone else has experienced this and if its common???

I'm a little scared that I may have eaten too much, although I use a tea plate for meals. Or is it something that may be 'stuck'.

Any advice would be helpful :) x

I have felt that myself and I am not newly banded. I did notice it seemed to hit more when I stood up vs sitting down.

Double check your Water intake, and you could have some swelling going on.. I notice it more after I get a fill, and it could just be agitated. I have found that it goes away...

then with a fill it can come back for a short time.. follow the diet, get in the fluids but if it is uncomfortable talk to the doctor about it.

I was still on full liquids day 11; stayed on full liquids until day 15. It's possible your personal biology needs more time on liquids. Canned fish was a mushie for me but I did not get that until day 22. Days 15-21 were soft mushies yogurt, low fat/cal cottage or ricotta.

Thank you, i am terrible with drinking my fluids, maybe it.s that.

Honk, the foods differ sooooo much! I wish there was just one plan to follow!

Two things papaJohn focuses on now, are "small bites" and "chew-chew-chew" it keeps everything working just fine. Take your time!

      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.
