I have been gagging a little almost every day luckily it is only once or twice every couple days. I have also been coughing which scares me also, so I understand where you are coming from. I think I have also been swallowing air because I have constant gas..burp feeling and even my lower stomach feels bloated..Hope we feel better soon!

I too was banded 7/17 - My 1st couple of days were painful - the 2nd day the gas pains in my right shoulder had me crying. Once I came home from the hopsital on Thursday I have been able to eat small quainties 1/2 to 3/4 of a cop of Soup - I can drink but i don't gulp and just take regular swallows.

The coughing is most likely your bodys way of clearing your lungs after surgery..

I still have a little gas at night but it's pretty much gone.

There is a Lucky #7 Seven Thread - where all the people who were banded in July talk - go ck it out - you will find alot of info.

      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.
