I was banded on the second and I usually stop before even a half a cup of food. The mushy stage has been odd for me though, and I'm finding myself really not enjoying that much. I'm trying really, really hard to not drink 30 mins. before and 1 hour after meals, but it's sooooo hard. These last couple of times I managed to wait though. :)

My doctor said a half hour before our half hour after... I was banded a week ago today and I'm having problems getting my Water in cause I'm so full after a cup of food the last thing I'm thinking about is consuming liquids. I definitely need to drink more water. I don't need any kidney stones making things worse!

Good Luck! the best advice I have for you after surgery is to get a heating pad and walk, walk, walk to move that gas out.

Me too...I am trying so hard not to eat to fast but since the food seems to go down easily I wind up eating faster than I should.

I worried about that too. I was dehydrated the whole first week, but finally I was able to drink more. I hope nothing bad happened, but I'm feeling fine now, I think. :)

I totally know the feeling but it will pass. I was banded last Friday and today is the first time that I don't feel crazy gassiness. Hang in there sista :)

      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.
