Glad to have found this community. This is something I've been putting off for a while. Pre-op I had the jitters, ran to the bathroom twice and almost ran out of the room because I was so nervous. I got some good anesthesia that put me out for longer than 3 hours. Looking for some people to share the journey and learn from the experience. So far feeling a lot better than day one, minus the gas. The hiccups hurt. I am tired of the liquid diet, my doctor wasn't as strict as others so I've read.

Today I did my first workout. My doc told me to walk and wait 3 weeks to do anything else like Insanity. It was raining, so I put on a Yoga video to stretch and did Zumba for 30 mins. You feel the port and your stomach is just weird.. Start slowly and work your way up I would say, but always consult with the doc to see what works for you. Good luck!!

I am so terrified of the fill. Did it hurt?

Gosh I love the internet! Hi LBSept09, Amy, Bringing Sexy Back and Mrs. Living Strong! It's a struggle but were gonna make it through and look F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. everything is starting to fit better, I just feel a little bit swollen in the abdominal area, and yesterday I felt the band.. Omg so weird. My doc gave me the Green Light to Exercise, he said to Walk. I used to love to walk until I moved to Florida haha!! I've been sick but it has nothing to do with the band so I went to my primary care and got some medication for that. I got scared because we eat so little now, wtf happens after a fill? You eat less says the doctor, I was like less than what I'm eating now? Omg!! I guess they want to trick your body or something. I am taking a few days to adjust, my job is crazy as it is and until I don't feel like ME. They can wait. Does anyone know of any GOOD Protein shakes? Not the chalky ones. I'm concerned about my nutrition. Let me know please. Have a great day my fellow banders!!

Hi Kayley! Nice to meet you. Symptoms: My back is killing me, I have a crazy headache right where you tie your ponytail,Yesterday I went out for the first time and guess what? I was walking holding my side, It hurt like a b*tch. I felt light headed and had to hold on to the shopping cart. A galloon of milk was too heavy for me. All this and I'm like wtf? Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night STARVING!!! Like I haven't eaten, I ate a cold leftover chicken noodle Soup at 6am. I don't even know when I'm hungry anymore. When I get nauseated, I tend to wait then after having a lil bit of a smoothie I feel better. I am so tired of shakes, and puddings and Soup!! Since I'm a rebel I had three small melba toast mini. I chewed them for a while scared I might throw-up. I pared it with a soup, but guess who didn't finish it? I guess I am so tired of heating and re-heating when it used to be so easy to eat everything and then some. Today I am going to my doctor, I am making a list lol. Lets see what he says. Mine i guess isn't strict at all, he told me to have all the liquids I wanted anything.. KIT Ladies, I am up at the crack at dawn and off this week until I feel like myself again.

Nice to meet you!! So tell me, do you feel better after a week? I feel like everytime I breathe the band gets tight.. lol
