Just stopping by to say hello. I received your message and I am doing well, will keep you posted on the progress. Im going outside to walk today, I need to get this gas moving. How are you progressing?
-
Did you have a hiatal hyernia? That can make you extra sensitive. Are you taking anything for nausea? Sounds gross, but my doc gave me a suppository for nausea, and it really worked well, I stopped feeling nausea around day 5 or 6 post op, so yours may stop soon. As others suggest, you may want to call the doc to be on the safe side. Best wishes

I still use Protein drinks, it helps to make sure you get all the protein you need, and it helps with the weight loss too

Lots of good advice on here, and I'll ditto it, you need to walk. Walk outside, whenever you can. Its the best way to get rid of the gas. I had some pretty serious nausea for a few days after surgery, doc said that's normal, and I think you said you had a hiatal hyernia too, like me, and you'll be more sensitive because of that. Gas-X is good, I got the kind you stick on your tongue and it dissolves. Keep on the liquid diet until your doc says its okay to progress. One thing that kind of helped me was I strained hot and sour soup from a Chinese restaurant, just ate/drank the broth, and it was great. Don't forget to drink your Protein drinks, that'll help also, if the doc says they're okay. Your body needs protein to heal after the surgery. Best wishes

What was you BIGGEST post op full liquid diet slip up???

Ditto this. I think it really is a very personal issue, how soon you can progress with your post-op diet. I was banded on 7/28, and I find my body does a VERY good job of letting me know what works, and what doesn't. I was on liquids for one week, moved to mushies the next week, and I've been eating solids this week, no problems. But I'm also being very careful, chewing thoroughly, using a baby spoon, and paying attention to when I feel full and stopping. So far, so good. Best wishes -
How long should I expect to be off??

I was able to work at home (flexiplace), so I didn't go back to work for a week. I was banded back on 7/28, and I do think the easier you are on yourself that first week, the happier you'll be later. Keep in mind, this first month is really all about healing. Be good to yourself, don't lift anything heavy, plan on doing a fair amount of walking (helps with gas issues). Best wishes -
Muscle Milk Light is okay, but there aren't many flavors, I could only find the chocolate. I mainly drink Atkins, it has more variety, and to me it just tastes better. Best wishes

Glad to hear your surgery went well. I haven't had any issues since my surgery on 7/28. I'm sure you'll do fine. Incisions heal fairly quickly, and before you know it, the doc will want to talk about when you'll get your first fill (my doc did that in my post-op visit). Keep us updated on your progress, and best wishes.

Sounds great, good work II have my first post-surgery appt with the doc tomorrow, like to know when I can get back in the gym and start burning some cals off instead of just not eating cals. I've never been much of a wine drinker, but I may have to start that, though I still hope I can sip some bourbon on occasion Continued well wishes

I hate to sound like the newbie I am I just got banded on 7/28, but, I thought it was a big no-no to vomit if you're banded. Is it that common that you feel a need to vomit? I don't mean to imply you or anyone is doing anything wrong, I'm wondering how careful I need to be myself in the future with avoiding vomiting. I work in an office, and I wouldn't want to get stuck and need to vomit at work, but, is it that common that you feel a need to vomit after you've been banded for awhile? Any advice greatly appreciated, and thank you all for sharing your stories, they really do help someone like me
