What Can You Expect To Experience The First 3 Days After Surgery ?
yellowrose88 replied to marketingdude's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pain was about a 7 and I have a pretty high pain tolerence. The first day wasn't that bad but the second day was. I think the gas and port were the worst. I had my sugery on Friday and went back to work on Tuesday. I wish I would have taken the week off. -
Running At The Gym And Driving In The Car
yellowrose88 replied to jill1981's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had trouble with driving too. I drive about 30-35 minutes to and from work. It lasted about 5-6 weeks for me. People probably thought I was crazy because I would lift my left arm and hold onto the head rest. Good luck and hopefully the pain will reside soon. Good luck! -

You are doing great! Just keep taking small sips. You want to sip sip sip 24-7. LOL thats what it seems like. Glad you are doing great and welcome to the other side! -
I had a wonderful Saturday! I cleaned out my closet of all the clothes that were to BIG! What a wonderful feeling! I told my husband and he couldn't believe it. I had to send him a pic because he was at work. This is a big deal because I usually hang on to clothes but I know I will not be wearing them ever again so why hold onto the past when I have a bright future ahead! I think some shopping is in order. LOL Loving my band! :wub:

My insurance required 2 years of supervised diet. Therefore I opted to self-pay. -

Day 7 Post Op Questions
yellowrose88 replied to sarah612's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everything you are feeling is normal. I didn't feel hungry until about 3 weeks out. Your port site will take the longest to heal. Hang in there and sip water all day long and walk to relive pain. Follow your docs post op directions. Congrats and welcome to the other side. Hope you start feeling better soon. -

How Much Are You Eating?
yellowrose88 replied to amo32112's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just take your time eating and chew chew chew. I take a bite chew chew chew swallow and then wait 1 minute before I take another bite and so on. Remember to eat protein first because this will keep you fuller longer. Good luck. -
I was banded by Dr. Fox and I love him and his staff. They are all great! I would highly recommend him.

Finally! May 1 Preop Tests, Surgery Should Be By The 20Th
yellowrose88 replied to biloxiblue's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats and good luck! -
I have a greek yogurt smoothie during the work week. I add some additional protein powder (chocolate) and a couple of strawberries or a banana with some ice and 2 packets of splenda and blend it up in the blender. Yum, I love them. I have also used vanilla protein powder with frozen peaches. I get 1/2 of my days protein in the morning.
