I was banded on March 20th and it is challenging for me also. I need to learn to cook, exercise, and find things to eat for breakfast. It is going to be an uphill climb but I am ready. This site helps alot and gets me motivated. I get my first fill on friday and I am excited.

The only vitamin I take is Flintstones chewable vitamins and chewable calcium. I am not supposed to be on mushies till week 3 but i asked if I could have a scrambled egg and he said yes and maybe I could try some refried beans. I am going to wait until I really want it. And yes my caloric intake is the same. I think I must be excited because I would have never thought I could survive on such low calories. I was also an insane diet coke drinker. This may be the longest I have gone without DC sin 20 years. My Dr turned out to be very sweet. Most surgeons are not very friendly in the fact that they are always"getting down to business". Dr Ortiz seems so funny, also. hang in there!! I look forward to staying in touch with you so we can help each other out. Lori

I was banded on 3/20 but here in Texas. I am getting to feel really good. Are both of you guys doing any solids at all? I was told today that I could start trying things of mushy consistancy. Also how many calories do you feel you are getting in? I know I am not getting that many. He told me to up it to 800 but I don;t see how I can do that. I also had a hernia repaired as well. I would love to burp and I have only had one really good burp sice surgery and it felt so good. crazy right?

I love that show too. I wish someone would nominate me. I also wait for a chubby episode so I can help myself. I am not brave enough to do all the bold colors.

Hi, I had my surgery on Friday and just wondering when I will start to feel normal again. I have upper gas pain in my chest and can't seem to get it to go away unless I take pain medicine. Does anyone have any advice for me? I am walking and trying to ignore it but it just keeps coming around to bother me. I know it isn't the same for everyone but how long till I feel the elated feeling I keep hearing about?
