This morning was by far the roughest... I didnt sleep well last night, im still having a lot of back and upper shoulder pain that is radiating into my neck, which made it very hard for me to sleep last night.

 

My husband got home from work at just a hare after 9am and we went for a 20 minute walk around our neighborhood, and it was a nice walk, however I was miserable. I still had a bunch of gas in me and the walking was helping move it, just not move it OUT! When we came home from the walk, I was having trouble deciding if I was actually feeling hunger for the first time, or if i was just gas moving around....?

 

I decided to attempt to eat the strawberry jello, I took three very small bits, and was in a bit of discomfort. I didnt feel well going down at all. I opted for the Popsicle instead. However my old eating habits got the best of me and I ate the entire popsicle and was in sever discomfort for about 30 minutes.

 

I was able to take my shower today, and did so with a HUGE smile on my face! After my shower, I was just feeling really run down from the eventful morning. I decided to sit on the couch and watch a movie with the HB and we both fell asleep! It was great, im feeling much better since the nap...

 

Since the nap i was able to have my first BM since surgery and was able to release a ton of gases during the BM which felt fantastic!

 

Sorry if its to vivid, I just want to be honest!

 

Will post more later on...

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.

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...
