Today was Day 3 since being banded I feel good, hunger is not too much of an issue, when I make my shakes I can usually drink two cups wonder if this is normal?

I was just banded yesterday by Dr. Buckley of NSMC, I had no complications, I was initially in some moderate pain, and I felt like I had to have a BM but the nurse told me that was normal because of the gases used during surgery. I was up and out of bed within an hour after the recovery room to go pee. I find the pain to be tolerable nothing like my C-section with my child. I was home by dinner time, and felt even better this morning. I do think that my prep work for the surgery is what is helping my quick recovery. I started an exercise regimen a month before the surgery in which I did a lot of ab exercises and I truly believe it helps tremendously with your ability to tolerate the pain post op. I hope this suggestion helps those out there with this aspect of the surgery. I also was hoping to get some suggestions about eating after placement of the band. I had chicken broth with tiny fideos or noodles in it pre-op is it safe to resume this or is it too soon?

Good Luck with your surgery I was just banded yesterday and I feel a little tender but it is nothing unbearable. I believe a good support network is a must when taking on a major life changing surgery and that is why I registered on this site. Hope all is well, kris!
