I had my lapband this morning around 9 am. I was discharged shortly after 2 pm. Doc had me drink 12 oz. of water, walk and go to the restroom before I could leave. The port site/side is very sore and depending on movement can be very painful. The other places aren't even sore.

 

I'm not suppose to lay flat or on my side which presents a challenge for me. Getting out of bed or a chair is painful and difficult. I am in general weak, but as far as post op situations go, I'm doing really great.

 

I drank about 4 oz. of the Unjury chicken broth, and a couple of bites of jello that I had made and added the unflavored Unjury to so I could get in some protein. I've been sipping on light grape juice all afternoon and have now switched to water. The drugs make you thirsty for the first 24 or so hours.

 

I've had a fair bit of gas which is uncomfortable but it hasn't been painful like others have reported. My left shoulder hurts but I have a bad shoulder.

 

I think all in all I'm doing great. We'll see how tomorrow does.
