Eve of Day 4.....I feel sooo much better. It's like someone flipped the switch! I'm looking forward to my full liquids.....I soooo love soup! Thank you all for supporting me!

Hi NJ, I feel better but ya still experiencing some gas pain. farting, burping lol sooo attractive lol. I'm on full liquids and my stomach is making weird noises. Demons lol

Day 5 has been even better!

It is a very big decision. I don't really ave any answers, but in life, life of obesity there will be things we should live without. My LB consultant said in the 11 years, there nothing food wise that she hasn't had. Wish u luck on your decision.

Can't stress the importance of walking. Use a pillow to support your belly. I'm day 5 postoperative, wasn't til lat night that I felt drastically better. Drink slow, hang in there.

I agree with the ladies....move on. Consider it a treat......

You will do great! We are all her to support you! Day 2 was the worst!

Crap I'm on day 4, no way I could leave the house! I'm worried for Monday work!

Can't wait to try these!

It's painful! I was so focused on the outcome I never thought of the actual pain. Everyone's tolerance is different, and I don't consider myself to be a wimp. The gas pains and port incisions are he worst. Day 2 was horrible! I was taking my pain meds 2 every 4 hours on the dot! I'm down to 1 every 4. Tomorrow will be dy 5, I hope to walk with no pain. If u have comfy recliner, book it for the week, sleeping upright in a pillow upright on your back. Heating pad is helpful, for the shoulder pains. Walk lots o help get I'd of excess gas, use a pillow on you belly for support! U wanted honest...good luck. It'll be worth all of ths, it's just frustrating now.

Ya hely88, hence my opening "mine are the not so healthy version" I'm looking forward to trying the skinny version.

Congrats bandsters. Work thru the pain, keep the big picture in mind.

You look great! I can't wait til one year from now!
