    That's awesome mrsirish! I know what you mean about head hunger. I haven't been able to get much down though, just some protein drinks and water. I go back to work tomorrow ugh! I don't feel my port in fact I don't even know where it is. I totally need to ask my md about that! Lol

    How's everyone doing? I'm on day 5 and feeling great! I've lost 22lbs since jan 1.
  4. Hello all. I was just banded on 1/15 and haven't gone #2 yet. Is this normal? I was on a liquid diet prior and am on a full liquid diet now. Haven't been able to get much down yet. What does your experience say?

    Using the bathroom for the first time?

    Thanks for the support. I'm on day 3 and I haven't taken any pain meds! Just Tylenol. Maybe that's why I am able to go to the bathroom.

    Thank you for responding. Funny how after I posted this, I went #2 successfully! I have been on liquids so I am staying hydrated. Thank you again for the help!

    Tightness normal?

    I was banded on 1/15 and feel a similar tightness. I met with my dr today and he said this is because of the swelling. Should go down soon.
  8. Soooo nervous! Need to be in by 8am for 10am surgery!!! Wish me luck!!

    Surgery tomorrow!

    Everything went well. I dont have much pain. It feels a little tight around my chest. Need to be cautious and sip rather than gulp my liquids.

    Any January Surgery Bandsters?

    I was banded yesterday and haven't felt any pain. I didn't even take Tylenol and I slept very well. Do you think I will be ok or will I start feeling pain out of no where?

    Day 2 post op. I didn't take any pain meds not even Tylenol and slept just fine. I also don't feel any gas just a tightness where the band is. I don't think I could eat anything even if I tried so I am happy to be on liquid diet. I realize how important it is to sip slowly because when I took a big-ish gulp it felt uncomfortable.
