Hi everyone! I was banded Oct 15th and have lost 22lbs since surgey but have been lacking in the excersise department due to being sick and other health issues, I was supposed to have a fill Nov 19th but the docs office messed up my apt so now i should be getting one on dec 15th. I do find myself fuller quicker but snacking more so I bought choc rice cakes and feel better with thise lol or veggies! All together since my first doc visit i have lost 32lbs so thats good lol. Hope you all are well and had a happy holiday!

I am not sure where my port is but i think i can feel it where the "moving or fluttering" happens. i see my doc on wed so i will let you guys know. Thank you for getting back to me!

I am physically doing well, and have made it my point to walk around more lol. I am having suture pain and leakage from the site in the front of my belly (went all over the bed last night) but its more annoying. I am also coming to terms with what i think is cheating and telling myself at least im not downing a can of pringles and all the halloween reese's lol

Thank you and it dido know that i am not alone lol. back on the horse now lol

I have been having this feeling of something fluttering or moving on the middle left side of my belly. i am just scared because it happens when I go to sit, sometimes when i breathe, or when i walk. I have heard of the port flipping and I am just scared. Has this happened to anyone else or is this something I should ask the doc about. It's sat and i dont see him till wed im just scared.

I am 5 days post op and i am currently on full liquids....today i had light soup but ate (and chewed) the veggies and little pieces of meat. It stayed down ok but now I am beating myself up. It was a light soup with only 100 cal but I feel if I did it now what if I do it again?? I told myself I will not allow myself but I am just so down right now. It also doesnt help that a certain someone in my house is sooo supportive before surgery and then bought an entire cheeseake for me to see when i open the fridge, and also tells me it is ok to cheat at holidays!!! I have decided to have my own holiday at my parents because I feel they are supportive and so is my fiance....it is just so frustrating and I have no one to vent to. I went walking yesterday and felt pain so stopped I just tell myself when I can start excersising I will be alot better. I am even planning on joining a gym and i have an eliptical in my room. I just hope I can keep it up! thanks for listening

I am so glad i am not alone....I was also banded 10/11 and have no energy. I get little spurts where i will go to a store and try to walk (because I heard that helps) but after 1/2 an hour i'm sweaty and dizzy and return home. I too have had no luck with protein shakes and have returned to carnation inst brkfst today....beause between gas pain and nausea and dry heaving I have been a mess lol. I am counbting down till these pass by...i also see my doc on the 20th

Thank you for your advice...I had cut my pills into quarters but after that came up I kind of gave up. I alos tend to not take the pain meds unless when i mover i feel my entry sites very sore. I know alot is gas and its soooo crazy how in the morning im ok but as the day progresses it just gets more painful. I have also been getting alot of nausea and yesterday threw up nothing....I have even took the pills my doc gave me to prevent nasuea and vomiting. I am just taking it 1/2 a day at a time and i am trying to walk around my lil apartment but told my fiance that tonight because its raining we can walk around a store while i can handle it:)

I was wondering how my band-sister twin was doing! I am glad you are ok and doing well...please keep in touch!

Hello everyone! Feeling a tad bit better this morning...hoping it stays. I am pretty amazing with pain also so I think this is why its so new to me lol. I have been taking liquid hydrocodone and it helps. I am taking thisngs slow but find that even though i am not hungry (but the belly growls lol) I love my tomatoe soup time lol! Thank you all for the advice i will pick up some gasx strips and pep. tea...yum!

Hi there! I was banded 10/11/10 the day before you lol....and have been having the same thoughts and probs with gas and pain. I guess it also has to do with an entire life change and that is scary too! I am sure we will both be ok and in a few weeks will be back on here chatting about how happy we are like everyone else lol. Just keep up the fluids and rest, each day it gets better at least a little lol

Thank you guys! I just got really nervous if this pain was normal when i breath deep? I was given liquid vicodin but have to take it with liquid benadryl because i get the itchies so when im not out of it i try to get up and move around. I'm just new and get myself worked up...i guess i am not used to this feeling on my belly lol and I am trying to make sure all this is normal. Also can't wait for the dicomfort to leave so i can move around better. Thank you everyone:blush:

I am 2 days post op and sill in incredible pain. It hurts to breath and move. I also have this pressure, but feel this is still gas trying to exscape. I have walked through stores both yesterday and today for about 1/2 hour to try to help, but stop when I feel dizzy and hot. I am jsut wondering what is normal adn what is not? Also how long untill there is very minimum pain. Someone plz help I am just very nervous since my pain pill got stuck last night an i power puked.
