I felt the same way you did and around day 7 or 8 was my turning point!! It gets better!!!

All that you mentioned and as silly as it sounds.. Chewing gum helped me

How long did you guys wait to 'treat' yourself to a slice of pizza or glass of wine after band placement?

I'm post op 9 days in and it's getting a little better day by day.. Uncomfortable the first few days, then had the post op 'Blues' for a few days.. Feeling much better but my body gets achy almost daily. Down almost 15 lbs on the bright side:)

Thanks I'll try that!!! I'm so ready to feel better and back to feeling like myself or should I say the new me?!

Hello!!! I'm 5 days post-op and it hasn't been easy. I also had a hernia repaired with my lap band placement so I'm sure that has a major effect on my progress. I haven't been hungry, but the gas pains in my left shoulder have been worse than the incisional pain.Each day is getting better and better, but I'm just feeling drained!(I stopped taking the pain meds post op day 3)
