OK, I am up and about shopping ect. Still can't wear a regular bra :party: but I was wondering does anyone have the hiccups? I am 6 days post op. Also, I want to burp but cant so I just exhale and it feels better. Does anyone else do this? Am I taking in to much?

My diet today

3 oz p. shake 9:00

1/2 sf pudding cup 11:30

1 sf pudding cup 3:00

3oz p shake 5:00

1 c sf coco 7:00

I am suppose to fit in 3 p shakes a day but I can't!:paranoid

Congrats on your banding. Do the best you can those first days out of surgery but don't expect to get a lot in. I had no appetite until this past week. I was amazed that I could only fit in a half pudding in a sitting. Unfortunately, I can now eat the whole thing, but I know that is the right thing. Just make sure in between your food, you are sipping Water to stay hydrated. Your swelling will go down in a few days and you will be able to eat more Protein. I never had the hiccups but I have seen others talk about them. Just makesure you take things slowly, little sips, and you should be fine. Best wishes!

Congratulations on your banding! Try taking a chewable Gas-X tablet with each meal. I am almost 2 weeks post-op and have had absolutely no gas pains or hiccups yet. I'm so glad my doctor advised us to take Gas-X!

My docs advised us to drink our Protein shakes first, then to have other things such as puddings, Jello, etc. They emphasized over and over in our nutrition classes the importance of meeting our Protein needs (90g+/day) before anything else. He didn't want us to lose lean muscle mass or to get too hungry during the healing process (I'm still trying to find anything lean on my flabby old body--I'll have to take his word for it that it's there)! :faint:

As KayDotRn said, the swelling will start to go down for you soon. My appetite just came back about two days ago (10 days post-op). You'll find that you'll be able to drink more easily once this happens.

Hang in there--as my mom used to say, "This too shall pass!"

Happy New Year! :party:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
