im feeling a bit better. i have about the same, protein drink however i have yet to get a whole one down, yogurt and some soup. cant wait to try some other things. Still having a hard time sleeping at nice and the gas in my shoulder is a killer. How r u?

Hi Sweetness

Thanks for your message, sorry to hear you have been a bit down. I am doing really well, still quite sore in the tummy but getting better day by day - my biggest hurdle is that I have strained a muscle in my back, makes it hard to get comfortable in bed at night.

I am sort of doing my own thing with diet - they have said liquid, so liquid it is. I am having protein shakes (2 or 3 per day) plus about 1/4 cup of smooth yoghurt, a V8 juice box and about 3/4 cup of runny/smooth soup - I am also having a soluable multivitamin and I've had the occasional cup of tea.

Are you starting to feel any better?

Hi, I also live in Long Island. Who did your surgery? I was banded this monday the 17th. Would love to chat!

Hi, just wanted to see how you were doing. We were banded the same day. I was a little depressed after. Today is the first day im feeling better.Write me back when u can.

wow so tell me about your post-op diet. My nutritionist says liquids for two weeks. Even protein shakes, what was it like after surgery what did u have. I read in my post-op book clear liquid the first day after then reg liguid. Any advice is appreciated. I'm glad you took off too, they say its important to really let the skin and stuff grow around the band to avoid slippage. ??How sore are you??

i am doing good. moved onto full liquids today. one major tip is to really talk to the doc and nutritionist about your post-op diet- so you know exactly what they want you to eat/drink. I am seeing a lot of people in chat newly banded who are way off with what they should be doing and that can hurt your band. I am still sore- glad I decided to take the whole week off. I was planning on going back today but decided Monday to give myself a break. Thanks for checking in on me....

Hi! I had a rough few days but today I woke up and feel pretty good. Was nice to finally sleep in my own bed. I weight this am and am down another 4.5 lbs in the last 4 days! YIPPEEE... that makes it worth the hard work and pain. thanks so much for caring enough to check in on me. Talk to you soon.
