So happy for you!!! Pre-op I went from a size 20 to a 14 in jeans. I was amazed. I'm less than a week post -op and got a couple magazines in the mail, I'm circling things I'm GOING to wear in future:)

Love this one:)

Oops. Little keys, stupid auto correct! Lol I was banded on Aug 15th lol

Good Luck. !!

Oh no. I have a nut allergy. So glad u bought this up. I'm going to look into it!!

Had a rough evening last night, kinda a similar episode, but chalked it up to a Panic attack. Which I do have meds but didn't take it lasted about a half hour. I was scared but I think it's just the gas, recovery and liquids. Tomorrow I can add protien shakes and cream of wheat too. I think I need it, though I'm not Hungrry. it takes time. Be careful, I'm praying for us all

New too:) its been a slow recovery for me. But I'm getting there.

Yay. Good luck!!

Did u have any fill when the pit it in? Mine Ed Putin empty, but I'm not even interested in food. Judy wanna get rid of my soreness & a little gas left:)

I was banded on the 15th. Feeling a bit crappy, crabby ect today. Chest pain, and just trying to deal. Good luck, to us. Feel better !

I'm thinking the 'hunger pains' are gas. That's my personal thing. Cause I was banded the 25th and have a tight chest and growling. Gonna walk today more to see if I can get things moving more. I have liquid tylonal with Codien but only take if I have real pain. Which has only been 1st 2 days after surg and then I've weened myself to once yesterday. And none today. Yet:) Good luck all. If I didn't have this site, I'd be a basket case. Lol

Same here Bonnie. Felt like I was getting better and today I feel I've taken a step back. Least I finally had a bm ! Sry if tmi. Lol but I Do have pressure in "long area" Don't see doc till the 28th. But they have a 24hr doc that will answer all ?'s do at least I feel a little comfortable knowing that. I'm a little dizzy too, but gonna try and walk some more, thinking its all as related. Good luck. First weeks the hardest from what I've heard.

I still on clear liquids on I was banded the 15th. & i Don't switch to full liquid till mon/tues. Looking forward to pudding for sure. Was feeling great till last night, now I'm moving slow again:(

Chicken cooked in a crockpot with broths or sauces would probably work great? I'll be trying that. I don't want to give up chicken:( lol

Hope u feel better. Without a clean bill of health from my family doc and my surgeon , no one would come near me. That's most cases I believe. Don't get discouraged. U need to be on top of your game.

It's a brand Gas-X They come in chewable, and now strips that melt in ur mouth, which is great for banders. Some say this medicine works, some don't think so. It did work for pretty well. Good luck!

First off. Good luck to Christiemr, I hope it all works out. Secondly, I'm only 3 days out. So if you asked me on day 1 post op. no, lol, it's not easy. Minor or major-surgery is certainly a process. But now on day 3 - yes...id do it again. Thus far;)

I never thought of this idea. I was given the card, and also going to keep with my Drivers licence, but thinking a bracket is a good idea now as well THANK YOU!

I have to say extra pillows were my main need. My saving grace:) since I'm home, gas X melt aways have been very good to me too:)

No cath here. My surg said they only Do that with longer surgies, or if they had to fix gallbladder or something else when they were in. Depends on your downtime I guess.

Hi Julie. Welcome aboard. I was banded wends the 15th ofAug. So a couple days out and I'm doing pretty well. My doc always put the port on the right side (95%) I asked that question rminutes before my surg for done reason. Lol and that's where my 'pain' comes from. It just a kind of soreness really. Some gas too, which I started gas x melt away strips and feel pretty good with. I'm not even interested in food at this point and getting a nice amt of protein drinks, water, little decaff, jello, & broth. good luck on ur journey and keep us posted!

Great question Erin:)!! Was on my mind too!

I'm only 2 days out and have slightly similar symptoms. But not bad enough to make me nervous. I agree with the others it's gas. I just took a gasX melt away and had a bunch of gas work out easily. My back is hurting a lot today, but probably because I'm walking different and babying my right side. (port) hoping that will pass:) good luck to u!!!
