I was banded on Dec 14th and wanna join the December Delights:smile2:

I really hope everyone banded in the last couple of weeks is doing well--I personally had a major setback and was unable to get back online until today-It was very scary-I experienced the "sliming" effect. I really overdid it on Friday physically because I was feeling so much better and then I ate 4 spoons of creamy potato soup.. The "sliming" began and I thought I had ripped all of my insides out.. After dehydration and no intake for 2 days I think I may be gonna make it now..Ya'll take it easy and listen to your body--I am having very bad car sickness so no travel for Christmas for me but I think it may be from the dizziness caused by the dehydration..Let me know if everyones Okay>>...Merry Christmas!!

I am feeling better today.Swelling is starting to go down and I feel like I have a jello stomach. Energy getting better no more pain meds, nights are a bit rough because of getting very stiff in bed but I think I am on the upswing.. Good luck and prayers to all you upcoming bandsters:thumbup:

yes deep breathes hurt and I get sharp pains on my right side..Not sure why...My incisions are itching so I guess they are healing..Have you tried to eat anything yet? I have broth and jello but the cold causes stomach cramps..I am staying very tired and weak, r u?

The patch is for nausea and you can wear it for three days..BIG help..felt nauseated but haven't thrown up so far.. I did not stay overnight, it was my decision but I had a 10 year at home sick and my husband couldn't be 2 places at once so I chose to come home. It has been a rough road, worse than I had expected but Im probably gonna live..Can't get my 60 g of protein in and am really struggling to get my 64 ounces fluid. I guess right now is the frustration period.My throat and mouth hurt from the tubes..my stomach hurts from the incisions., cant get comfortable and the headaches are horrible..Quit the caffeine as soon as you can to help with this:cursing:

Well I did it!! Lived through it but wished I hadn't a few times today.LOL. I am very sore and so tired.. Surgery would have gone better if I had not had a hiatal hernia that I knew nothing about. That was repaired as well as the lap band placed. No fill until the 29th but really not hungery. I am having a hard time with nausea but the patch works wonders. I hope all of my fellow bandsters are doing well today.:thumbup:

Oh well, todays the day...Just took my antiseptic bath as required by Memorial Hospital and waiting on my husband to get this thing rolling..Still scared to death but reading other peoples posts are what is making this possible. Ckeck in later on to let everyone know how this goes and thanks for all of the well wishes..:willy_nilly:

Tomorrow is also my big day. I get banded at 10 am and I am scared to death! I could eat a cow right now but trying to be good and follow orders to stay on liquids today. Can't wait for the new journey and hope to make my husband and kids proud to be seen with me. Good luck everyone and will check back in post op :thumbup:
