and my appetite has returned. I try sugar free pop cyles and jello but even the shakes are not lasting as long as before. Today has been a bad day for the hungries. I see my surgeon on tue the 16 and I pray he will say I can go to the mushies. I need suggestions for the mushies. <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/hungry.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Hungry" smilieid="262" class="inlineimg" />

marcy replied to karely's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Oct 3 and returned to work on Oct 9. I felt real good and was bored at home. I stand on my feet all day but I have been taking frequent breaks. Today is day 10 after surgery and I woke up with soreness around my port. I am going to work but my call it a short day. Is this soreness normal? -

Hey everyone, I am now a banster. My surgery is over. Things went well. My doctor had to repair a very large hernia which I didnt know I had. This is day 2 and I am feeling good. Very sore but other than that I am doing fine. I have experienced left shoulder pain but it isnt that bad. I can't believe it but I am not hungry at all. I think my band is working. everyone keep in touch! Marcy:clap2:

hi everyone, I am on day 3 after surgery. I experienced left shoulder pain but just a mild case. I started walking 2 hours after surgery. I think it helped because I have only had mild gas pains. I encourage all of you to walk walk walk. Good luck to all.
