I also got banded on Monday. I seem to still have gas that does not want to escape. And when I try to burp I get a heavy uncomfortable sensation in my chest where the band is. Today I went for a walk outside with my daughter and my calf felt crampy and when I got home I felt nauseous

My doctor also performed hiatal hernia the same time so was under over 3 hours ...one overnight stay, trying to get fluids down and one Protein Shake a day that's it...have been able to swallow my Vitamins but sore afterwards...i walked stairs and inside but i hear u you on the gas....

Take it one day at a time, it will get better with each day. Right now is a time recovery. They had me wait til I was on soft foods before they had me taking the Vitamins. They may be hard to get down with the swelling.

I am a week out now and I promise it gets better each day. I felt like that too. Hang in there, it goes fast.

      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.
