I was banded the 26th. My stomach always feels empty. It feels like nothing is even there?? Im so confused. Is my band empty??

I guess all surgeons are different, because mine started me with 2.5cc from surgery, and right now i'm on the puree food, but I can not eat much....2-3 spoons, I feel full and will be full for the nxt 3-4hrs.....I have not weigh myself yet since surgery, but I am visitjng my mom (she has no clue about the band, just the hernia repair) and she's complaining my face looks long, i'm losing too much weight, she can see my clavical bones, and everything she made me i'm only getting small bites, and how soon I will be suferring from malnutrition...lol...my mom loves her kids to have plump (bless her heart). But I figure if she's complaining, I must of lost a good amount....we shall see when I go back home Nxt wknd!!!

I am back in the office today for a full day for the first time since surgery on 9/27. I am exhausted! My starting weight (and all time high weight) was 240, surgery day was 234, weighed in this morning at 222.3. I feel great, other than being tired and still sore at the port site, otherwise just trying to plug away at the Protein. Having a hard time getting enough as I am never hungry. I am 33 years old and have been having issues with weight loss/dieting for ten years, since a shoulder injury took me out of competitive swimming. Kidney issues arose through the years and I think the more miserable I felt, the less active I became. I look forward to being able to run around with my 13 year old son again!

WOW! Your stats are almost identical to mine. I'm 46, banded 9/7/12. You are losing better than me. Try to release the negative energy from your past. I know its hard but how about "Thanks to my PREVIOUS misery, i've been banded and will be running around with my 13 yr old son again" Im only speaking from experience...I promise you, been there and still fighting my way through. But it ultimately lead me to getting the Band and starting over. There is alot of support here. USE IT! WE GOT YOU

Thanks guys This site has helped a lot so far! I am excited to make new friends/support!

I'm doing Ok thanks. Still on bed rest, taking it one day at a time, I extended my time off so I can make sure I am a 100% before going back to work. Had to travel to be around family to get some help. Other then that doing great, wounds are healing well, I'm pretty sure I lost a good amount from surgery, cause everyone is complaining how "FRAIL" I look lol...tho I'm sure I look anything but "frail".....But I will not know for sure until I head back home to weigh myself....I'm excited to see how much I lost lol....other then that, I am feeling much much better.....Thanks!!!
