I too was banded in June. I had no pain for quit a while and then bang it happened. Same with the vomiting. Both not too often. I have found that if you over eat (more than 1 cup total at any meal) or do not chew properly the pain happens. Sometimes my chest sometimes my shoulder. But if you really make the effort to chew to a pulp and not over eat you probably won't have much if any pain. I have lost about 26 lbs. slower than I would have liked to have seen but I can't walk just yet as I just have had surgery. For the last couple of years my excercise has been restricted. I did hear that the obvious...excercise makes the big difference. After physio I too hope to be able to excercise more and show faster results. I'm not disappointed as the more I read the more I see how everyone's rate is different. Good luck!

      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.
