Keep us posted it will get better. Warm broth helped me a lot I bought the low sodium chicken flavor. Also, warm chamomille tea helped during the first few days.

Glad you"re feeling better! Keep us posted.

You're so lucky it only took you a day or so to have a bm! it took me 8 days post op. The first couple weeks sucked, just being honest but after you get past week 2 it's so much better! I'm on week 5 and doing great. No fluid in my band yet, I get that on 8/24 and can't wait to feel restriction. Pudding and applesauce got me through the day three and on. I also did a lot of condensed tomato soup with milk instead of water when I was in week 2. Be proud of that walk! I should have walked more in the beginning.

It gets better. Look forward to stepping on the scale and watching the numbers keep getting lower. Best of luck.

Unfortunately, I still am bothered by the left shoulder pain. Not as severe or as long but I still suffer with it. I hate it! I go for my second fill on Monday and I can't wait. I still think that my band is not tight enough. I have no problem with eating or drinking anything. And I am getting hungry about 2 hours after a meal. So I am really hoping that the fill will help. You are really doing good! Keep up the good work it will all be worth it!

Thanks everyone, I love getting the feed back, it helps me a lot to know that Im not the only one out there feeling like this! I tried a few small bites of jello again this evening, but its a no go... it just hurts way to much going down...

I second Bklynike, it gets better, promise.
