Topic: RE: Feeling at bottom of throat
I tend to get the same thing after I eat. I have concluded that I have eaten too much. I decided to cut back my solid food by about a half an ounce or a full ounce. I am 4 weeks out and just started the solid foods. I just went to my first local support meeting and found that others have the same feeling when they are "full". Hope that helps! Hang in there!
Topic: LapBand 5/5/08 (2 week fast???)
Everyone Congrats to you all! I'm having my surgery in 4 days and I want to know was it easy for all of you to fast for the 2 weeks. I haven't fasted all of those days. I feel like if that was possible I wouldn't need the surgery... Could you tell me how you did?? Thanks...
Topic: RE: 2 days post-op and doing well!
I'm having the lapband too. 5/5/08 Could you please tell me if you have followed the 2 week diet we had to do? I tried but still ate off and on. I feel like if I could literally do that then I would not need the surgery!
Topic: RE: i made it
I'm happy to hear that you are doing well. I have my surgery on the 5th of may and I am excited!!! I'm praying for you and all of your success. Take care...
Topic: RE: April 16th, I had my surgery
Hi Tammy,
I know exactly how you feel. I've been attending group therapy for bariatric patients once a week. That's not really helping yet, but it's good to know I'm not alone in missing my old friend, FOOD.

Hi Lisa!
My RNY was 4/14. My diet consists of 3 meals of up to 4 tablespoons of pureed foods and 3 "snacks" of 4 ounces of protien beverage. Other than that I drink only water. My surgeon and dietician insist that you can never have more than 1/2 cup food at one time for the rest of your life. Also, it takes me 10 minutes to eat every ounce of food. I'm never really full, but I'm not starving hungry. I'm actually most full from my vitamins! If you'd like, I can type in my sample diet.

Hi!
I agree that Unjury is the least offensive. Also, their chicken soup flavor is great to add to food you need to puree.

Topic: April 16th, I had my surgery
Hey all. I had a gastric sleeve on April 16th and from that date I have regretted this. I'm still on liquids and I'm told I will feel better once I get to eat solids again. I go back to the doctor on May 2. I just feel like I am grieving a lost friend and the lost friend is food. I didn't realize how much of my life revolved around food. If anyone else feels the same or has some advise please comment back. Thanks.
