Had my post op appointment yesterday. Doing better every day. Get my first fill may 9th. It's so good to be feeling more like myself. My husband is a happy camper now too. He finally got a little attention life is good!

I found a mojito flavor by Crystal Light. I pour 8 oz of it it my shaker bottle, and mix my whey protein powder in with it. It's surprisingly good! I add just a bit more crystal light to it so its not thick. Just an idea for you to try.

Marlena, Sounds like you have a great support system!! It's helped me so much being able to read post and learn from what others have experienced. Super excited for us all on this new journey. In a few weeks we will forgot these first few days and bbe well on our way Good luck to you. Lets stay in touch!!!!

I almost forgot...I returned to work today and about halfway thru the day I was really miserable. In my recliner chair with the hesitant pad for the night now.

I was banded on 9th. I was soo not prepared for the pain. Te first two to three days were horrid. I experienced all of the same but had horrible stomach cramping and diarrhea for those three days. The pain RX ran out all to soon and I'm still dealing with the gas pain and difficulty in taking deep regular breaths without shooting pain under my breast and down my left side. I get to start mushy foods tomorrow and can honestly say I'm not hungry...every time I drink anything I get the painful belches and burps. Almost afraid to eat anything!! I'm so thankful to find this thread. I'm glad to read others are experiencing the same things.

I'm six days post op . It seems like I get over one pain or discomfort and a different one starts. Pain on my left side and port area seem to be the new thing. I'm still having the gurgling upset stomach. The diarrhea has subsided...finally. I feel like im somewhat short of breath. What a long six days its been so far!

I did not have a hernia repair. Thanks for the comments and input. It's a new learning experience all the way around. Im learning that my body needs more time to heal than it use to! I'm definitely getting more in tuned with my body. Can't wait to start feeling better and start losing!!
