Welcome to Lap Band Talk!!!!!! Good luck!! -
Please tell me this arguement is over!!!!

Hello. I am feeling better this morning. Still quite sore and feeling weak due to the liquids only right now!!! Dr. Hollis is great and I trust him. He seemed very competent and caring! What date in June are you getting your band? Thanks for asking! I think I replied a few days back but was still taking pain medicine often. I am going to try now to take any pain meds today if I can!

Hi and welcome. I was also banded last Wednesday the 20th. I am still struggling as well, but not with sleep. I seem to be sleeping too much. I feel weak from the liquid diet and tomorrow I return to work. That is going to be hard. I am glad you joined! -
stomach pain after 2 years
sandy1 replied to glentk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope it is nothing too serious. Keep us informed and good luck! -
The 5 days will go by quickly. I know you are struggling but hang in there. I was able to have a little solid food with my liquids so I know you are hungry.

sandy1 replied to Chickie55's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The one I had was just tomato soup by Campbells. The one you can drink right out of the can! I has been feeling real weak but that helped!!!!!! -

I also was banded on the 20th and am right where you are. Getting sick of liquids. I tried tomato soup and that was different. So far it stayed down. I know the protein shakes are necessary right now to get all the protein and to help you heal! I also am drinking a little diet cranberry juice-so you might try that. -
Thanks great topic! I am on day 3 and it still hurts quite a bit!!

what's with the hernias?
sandy1 replied to jennifer1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My hernia was discovered during the surgery. Yes there will be an extra charge. My DR is going to file it with my insurance and then I will have to pay what the insurance does not. -
Good luck with your husband. I know you will need his support! Keep us informed and remember we are here is you need someone to talk to!!

Thank you so much for your post. I really needed to hear that. I am 3 days banded and getting tired of liquids quick!!!! -
Hello I am just 3 days banded and getting to the point of being tired of liquids. I am still real sore and like you had a hernia repaired. I am weak too and I have to return to work Monday. I am not sure how that is gonna work. Sounds like you are doing kind of normal to me. Good luck!

Liquid diet suck!
sandy1 replied to cantwaittobeskinny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told to let the band get secured in your stomach. I was also told the first few weeks after the band is placed that is the greatest risk of slippage. I just got my band yesterday and hate the liquid diet but gonna stick to it. I suggest staying with liquids and give your body a change to heal. -
