Hey everyone! I am two weeks post op and today I started my new excercise program, the couch to 5k program. I cant say it was easy as I am seriously out of shape, but I am so proud i completed the whole thirty minutes and I hope it will only get easier. I wanted to know if any other bandsters have completed this program? Please share

Wow that is so inspiring! Thankyou. Would you only do the three times a week as recommended or would you do more?

Hey everyone. I am one week post op and have been experiencing quiete a bit of nausea. Did anyone else experience this? The smell of food that my family eats, including some of my own (chicken broth, tomato soup, ect) is just making me so queezy that I don't even want to try to drink my liquids. I find the only thing that subsides it is taking the pain medicine the doctor subscribed me. Is this normal? Any suggestions? It is not constant but comes and goes throughout the day.

Hi everyone! It has been one week since I was banded and decided to join this site after contanstantly seeing it pop up in my google searches for my million+ questions after surgery. It seems like a great resource as well as excellent support system. So far I have not had too many issues. I have been dealing with some naseuas as well as some painful burping/hiccups. It hasn't been too hard sticking to the liquids only, but I sure do miss chewing and am anxious to start my puréed stage on Saturday. Does anyone know of any good recipes for this stage? If so please share. One thing I miss most is taking a hott bath. My surgeon said two weeks, so one more week to go on that. Weightloss so far has been great and I am down 11 lbs since my surgery one week ago. I look forward to being a part of this site and going on this journey with all of you

Thankfully I have my first post-op visit with my surgeon tomorrow morning. Hopefully he can prescribe something to help
