Yes...rest rest rest! Your body needs it!

Way to go lite n sweet! You are doing amazing ! I'm so happy your doing so well!

Good advice..take all the help you can get. My youngest is 14, I can't imagine having a little one..I slept,sipped,walked,and slept. My surgery hit me pretty hard. I usually have a high tolerance of pain and I've had many surgeries. The gas pain was the worst for me. Finally on the other side of that and only a few weeks out. I feel great now, better everyday. I was told No lifting for 4 to 6 weeks. Hope you can find a babysitter as mentioned earlier. Really going to need the rest to recover. Hopefully you will have an easier time than I did. A lot of people Dont even need pain meds. Praying for you. Congratulations on beginning a new and exciting chapter in your life. Focus on all the energy you will have soon to enjoy your family!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Fantastic!

Such an exciting time for you! Wishing you all the best. Lots of love and support here for you!

I did experience tightening in my chest when I swallowed. Definitely ask your Dr though. I didn't get much gas relief either. I used gas x and phasyme. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm so glad that you aren't in a lot of pain..I know how your feeling. First phase of liquids is rough but its temporary. Hope you have a good night.

Lol your welcome luv..heat my aggravate it.

No heat on the incisions yet! Used ice for a few days. Heat on my shoulder. Glad your doing good!

I've learned to stay off of the internet about anything medical! Will scare the daylights out of you. I took a leap of faith when I had my surgery. I have so many health conditions, I just keep telling myself this is a blessing. It truly is.

For me personally, I Dont work because I'm disabled due to my heart condition but if I did at least a week. I've not heard anyone else mention this problem but my head was foggy for 2 weeks from being put to sleep. My advice is if you have more than a week take it! You are having major surgery. Whatever you decide rest and take care of yourself. Too much too soon can cause problems as well. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery and God bless!

Colleen how are y'all doing? I lost 10 post op, gained 5 back, lost 4. I refuse to get back on the scales until my drs apt. Everything said here is the absolute truth. Our bodies have been through something traumatic! I'm just staying the course , eating the way I'm suppose to and walking. My only issue is I'm not getting enough fluid. Still causes some pain in my chest when I drink.

Yay that's awesome iceyone!!! Happy dance!!!!

My goodness. Do you have any pharmacy that is located in a hospital. That is where I had mine filled or call the on call Dr and ask for norco, most places have that. You are in my prayers. So sorry about your meds! Cold helped my sore throat. I pray the lord take your pain away. God bless you and congratulations. Also take some miralax to help your bowels move.

Wow I was never told of that option. Might have done that. I can't say now. I'm glad I had the surgery though. Feeling better everyday. Taking the kiddos to a waterpark tom. I'm going get in a lounge chair and soak up some sun. Best of luck with the choice you make!

My Dr didn't prime my band at all!!!! I'm starving!!!! Just my venting lol.

Try gold bond spray or powder for the chafing. Mine rub together to!

I did!

Yw. The port was tender but not incredibly painful. I put and ice pack on my incisions and that helped a lot. Yes I did get the gas pains in my left shoulder blade. For me that was what causes the majority of my pain. My heat pad helped that but it did last for several days. I used phazyme for gas. Day 3 was the worst for me. Just walk as soon and as often as you can. Keep us updated and God bless.

Good work! You should feel proud of yourself! My weight has held me back most of my life. You can do this!

I also had a hernia repair.

I have a realize band..I had an incision in my belly button and 3 tiny ones on my belly. My port is close to my right armpit.

Good luck to you! I'm hungry post op but I just keep telling myself that this is only temporary. God bless you.

I'm so excited for you! Yay! I know how your feeling but it'll all me fine and over soon. Congratulation!

I had to have a hernia repair also. It took a week for me and I have a high pain tolerance. Everyone is different but you have to remember you are having major surgery so you have to accept that and giveyourself permission to be selfish awhile. It takes time to heal Best of luck to you.
