Sounds like you are doing great! A lot of people don't feel any restriction until they have their first fill, once the swelling from surgery goes down. Glad to know you are doing so well.

I am also 7 days out and i do feel a restriction. Im sure it is just swelling. My physician wont do a fill until 8 weeks post op to ensure ALL the swelling is gone first. I seem to have alot of problems with gas... both ends.. I dont get pressure in my chest so much as it feels like their is air in my stomach that needs to come out and cant get back up thru the band. I dont like it. I am sick of liquids.. sick of worrying about what im going to eat.. and tired of my port hurting.. and i am starving all the timne!! I just keep thinking about when i am able to eat regular food. By then i should feel better.. and to top it all off I have lost 15 pounds in 7 days so that is exciting.

Hanging in there,

Kathy

Kathy! 15 lbs in a week?!?! I hope I am that lucky.

I am starving. I am being honest and faithful to this. I am on liquids and aside from three baby spoon size bites of mashed potatos, and three baby spoon size bites of SF pudding, I am on only liquids.< /p>

I go back to work Monday. And am actually looking froward to it, maybe it will take my mind off all of this for a major portion of the day.

I get pains across the chest, between my breasts, and it is cold and horrible. It is usually followed by my stomach growling. (your stomach growling is your stomach disgesting something that is not there)

I sucked on a SF popcicle a few mins ago. I never finish them when I do have one, usually only 1/3 of it if that much.

I am not looking at pounds. I want to get into my work clothes. 14/16 sizes. I am currently in 22/24.

I am walking what do you have planned for exercise? I am hoping that makes this weight drop faster.

      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.
