One week post op

[MaggieMay702 49]

Well here I am! One week post-op and I can't believe I'm already here....I don't feel banded but I definitely feel the pain of my incisions and the changes in my body. A few things I've noticed that I'm wondering about you guys...

1. I feel bloated. Constantly. I don't feel these "gas pains" everyone talks about?! I belch often. My incisions are painful. But I don't have gas pains? I just feel bloated. Allllll the time.

2. I've lost my hunger sensation. Physically I don't feel hungry. Emotionally, I do. I've just transitioned to my full liquids stage and am allowed SF pudding, FF tomato/cream Soups, broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, and yogurt. I am having a hard time with the non-liquids. I ate a lot out of feeling like "well I don't have anything else to do," or "I didn't have dinner, " or "I need to try that flavor of yogurt," etc. that's my food addiction and it scares the crap out of me. I know it was just one bad day but I'm only one week post op and I'm already feeling like a failure. Should I go back to liquids? Idk what to do.

3. Do many of you use myfitnesspal? I have a few friends on there from this forum but would like more. My username is westcomk. I think it's nice to have benders on there!

4. I'd like to share recipes if anyone's interested. For instance, I realized my favorite Campbell's Tomato Soup has 12...TWELVE grams of sugar per 1/2 cup. So I found a sugarless homemade recipe tonight that I'm going to try. Does anyone have any good low sugar soups they like?

Thanks for listening everyone.

I will be banded one month on the 14th and it does not feel like I have anything at all. When I had the surgery I felt restriction and was not hungry but when the swelling went down the hunger came back full force and I am in need of a fill which I will be getting on the 17th of this month. My gas pain went away about the second week and I am still bloated and passing a lot of gas. I use fitness pal and I love it ! !
