    One week post-op, back pain?

    It is gas. Use the heating pad for relief!

    It is definitely trapped gas. I used to use my heating pad on my back too!

    Officially a bandster!

    You need to sip liquid even if you don't want to. It gets better tomorrow!
  10. Call your surgeon right away. Can be incisional hernia, cyst, or fluid pocket. I would go to ER!
  11. Are you taking pain meds? Sometimes these make you nauseous. If you aren't ask your Dr, for something for nausea! Vomiting right now is not good. If it continues, go to ER!

    Weak and no energy on preop diet

    You need to ^ the protein, take a vitamin and drink more broth! I had that problem, I even wanted to black out in the shower! Don't worry you'll survive!

    December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!

    I was banded on 12/14 and have lost 38 pounds so far. I do get very hungry in the afternoons but I drink plenty of water and keep busy. I also struggle with deciding how much to eat. I make sure I eat only 1/2 cup of food (although I know I could eat lots more!) 3 times a day. I don't get my first fill until 2/11 and keeping mind over hunger! It is sometimes a struggle but I will not let hunger take over again! I also walk a mile 5 times a week! I don't want to sag, I'm 55!

    BRA PROBLEM!!

    Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home!

    BRA PROBLEM!!

    It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra!
