Hey Guys Thanks for all the replys. Today was my first day back to work, it went pretty good. I still have that burning feeling at the port site, but if i sit for a few it gos away. Im a hair stylist, so i have to stand. Im so happy, i started on mushies today. I started 1 day early though, dont tell. For Breakfast i had some cream of wheat with skim milk to make it soupy. For lunch some sugar free pudding, and for dinner mashed potatoes about 3/4 of a cup. They were all so delish, after the liquids. I ate very slow and everything has gone down great. Feels good to feel satisfied. If something is stuck do you know wright away? Did i eat too much for my first day on mushie?Hope everyone had a great day!:eek: Stacy banded 03/06/07 272/265/170 Dr. Robert Marvin Houston Tx Ps I have very poor spelling and grammer forgive!

When ya'll say heating pad, are you putting it on your stomach, or just your back? I wasnt sure if i could put on my stomch. My port area is also very sore still ,its been 4 days. I hoped to back to work on monday.

Hello, My dr. said clear liquids for one week the mushie for two. I had my band on 3/06/07 and broth is just gross now. I did go to Tortugas mexican food tonight and just had the broth of the chicken tortilla soup, it was to die for after5 days on liquids. I was getting to the point that i was only haveing very little jello, decaf coffee, and water. Couldnt take chicken broth any more.I bought a bowl to go , that should last me a day or so.Hope everyone is doing ok tonight. Iv got those stupid gas pain again today, but i know they will pass soon. Stacy

My Dr. told me after the 1st month i could swollow pills if they fit on a dime. Hope that helps with some of your meds. I would check with your DR. 1st. Stacy:)

Have only had a little water and some decaf tea. Thanks for the quick reply. Also iv been going on about 4-5 small walks a day , just the end of the street. Thanks Stacy Starting 272/272/170 Dr, Robert Marvin Houston Tex.

The worst part for me was the dry mouth. Ifelt like i could'nt swollow. I also felt alittle nasia, but i did inform them before that i got nasious.They took care of it very quickly, to throw up would have killed. Then had some gas pains in the left sholder. Not too bad, next day was a little better. Dont be scared it was my first time to be put under and my fear was that i would feel the tube in my throat, but didn't remember any of that part. My surgery was just yesterday ,Im feeling fine just a little sore in the port area.Good luck with your big day. Stacy

Hello, My name is Stacy ,and finally after all the ins. stuff I get to have my band on Mrach 6th. Im really happy, but today I went and did my blood work at the hospital, and the nerves kind of sat in. Iv never been put to sleep, Only 2 c- sections. Does anyone know how the pain is compared to a c- section? Just the thought of haveing the tube down my throat really gets me. Has anyone ever come out with nasel trumpets after surgery. Those are tubes that are placed in your nose and down your throat to keep the airway opened. My dad has sleep apnia and when has anything done he wakes up with them. Any way you would think i would be more worried about other things like the liquid diet and such. Also I had only planned on taking off one week of work, Im a Hairdresser, Do you think that is enough time . After the sections i was fine after one week. Thanks for all the great info. Stacy:clap2:
