What Is With The "gurgles"?
Mom2many replied to KathyOfAlabama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Shirley, your explanation does make sense. The gas after eating just fluids yesterday was horrible. It was uncomfortable and borderline painful. And from what I'm reading from long term bandsters it can be just a part Of normal life. I wish someone had told me this part before the band. I know the benefits will outweigh this but it would have been nice to know. -
I just posted somewhere else. Was banded on 3/20 and I guess swelling had kept me from being hungry. Well today it hit me. I bought hot and sour soup from take out and devoured a cup. All of it lol. No straining here. So it's a couple of hours later and I guess it's fine but seriously thinking about another week on full liquids is painful.

Banded On March 20Th 2012
Mom2many replied to JohannaMae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok. Seven days post op and I am hungry. Feels like real hunger. I'm on full liquids but I scarfed down a cup of hot and sour soup I got from Chinese earlier. So tired of tasteless and chocolate flavored food! So I ate all the soup, even the veggies. Chewed really well and feel fine, don't plan on making a habit of this but is anyone else hungry???? I've lost ten pounds and hadn't been hungry up until today! -
One Week Post Op With Bad Iv Pain
Mom2many replied to Brandi18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If there's redness or streaking please see a physician. Otherwise warm compresses are good. -

Not much lol. So far I haven't been able to get in three shakes a day. Just not possible. But I've managed three meals sort of and Breakfast has been the Protein lunch has been Soup and dinner soup. My plan is to add more protein after dinner tonight if I cantolerate it. I actually didn't have any dizziness yesterday and I was quite active. I'm wondering if it was just normal post op weakness stuff. Thanks!

31 Pounds Gone 5 Weeks Post Op!!!
Mom2many replied to DMScheerMOM's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on 3/20 and have lost 10 pounds. I was pretty psyched even though I know it's mostly water weight at this point. -
Everyday. I guess it's just too important to not be a part of my daily life anymore.

No but I do take a diuretic for pseudo tumor cerebri. I guess my bp could be low. I will have my mom check it. Thanks.

I was very nauseous as well. Banded on Tuesday. Dr gave me a scopolamine patch and phenergan. That kicked it. -
Liquid Diet Ideas-Help
Mom2many replied to tammyg1969's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't been a bit hungry and am post op day 3. Today I did het down 3/4 of a protein shake, a little gelatin and about 1/3 cup of tomato soup for dinner. But if I tried to eat anything else I know I'd be miserable. My only concern is that this is around 700 calories and that seems extreme. No saline in my band either. -
I had surgery on March 20, and am on full liquids now. I don't have any fill yet but I feel pretty restricted--from swelling I guess. So excited to see how much of this weight I can get rid of. Start weight: 255 Goal weight: 150

I'm only a couple of days post op and yes I feel the tubing or something move around when I move. Is a weird feeling!
-
I was banded on march 20. I wanna be in the group too please!!!!! I'm not sure how you all are getting in all the Protein. I drank 3/4 of a shake at Breakfast and then I was full. I felt a little woozy and my heart was beating hard so I layer down for just a bit. I do feel better now but don't feel like drinking.
-
Me too. I like it too much to drink it at all!
-
I had my surgery on Tuesday as well. Today I feel much better. I'm not running laps or anything but am much better. One thing though: so far all I have eaten is tomato soup and been drinking water. My stomach or intestines are gurgling and I've has 3 episodes of very loose stool/diarrhea. I think this is probably normal. Anyone else had this issue?

I was banded on Tiesday. Lots of nausea and vomiting after surgery--think it was from anesthesia since this is my 1st surgery. Home last night and had to take pain pill and phenergan last night. Am drinking and was able to eat about 1/2 cup of tomato Soup earlier for lunch. I do feel odd in my stomach,like I know the band is there. Does anyone else feel that?
