I can definitely feel mine. My doctor and dietician told me to use my best judgement. I lost 30 pounds before my surgery and did not need to follow a pre op diet. I was told to get started with Protein drinks right away yet some people on here are strictly Clear Liquids. I am doing clears but already had one Protein shake today and will have another soon. I don't know when I will get to the mushy stage but won't do so before my follow-up on the 12th.

Ya. I an drinking liquids but since the gas pains I'm having it feels like I am swallowing big bulls when its just sips. I get a horrible pain my shoulder...but I think it just all leads back to the gas bubble. I'm having problems with hunger too...I'm not hungry but I feel like I should be eating something...drinking something I guess lol. ya I can't shower til Sunday and I will just have my mom take my bandages off. to make matters worse this might be tmi but I am on my period too so instead of tampons. I just resorted to page. my nurses were worried that u bled a lot but I told them no worries...just mother nature lmao. just keep walking around and start doing things urself. its a better healing time add faster too. best of luck to u!

Hi just thought it was a lil ironic I was banded on the 29th and I had my period!! I wanted 2 reschedule my surgery because of it!! Crazy!! I feel good pain and gas r 2 be expected but I'm burping and farting so that's half the battle. I want a cup if coffee more than anything else

I don't drink coffee but can't you have it decaffeinated?

[Starshine33 38]

Only Decaf at first, later on you can have caffeinated. The only toting is caffeinated makes you hungry.

what I do when I want coffee is put my Protein shakes in as a replacement for my dreamer and add some fake sugar. its so good and u are getting ur Protein in first thing too. it helps me a lot. I am having problems hurling but I've been farting too. sucks because I don't want to use my stomach muscles very often but it just feels good go release that. lol I actually freaked out my nurse cause she was like omg! I was like no worries haha. just the b***h every month lol thank God for loopy medicine
