Walk, walk, walk. Did your Dr. give you a spirometer? If so, use it several times per hour. If not, try deep breathing. I was banded 2/17 and was super-uncomfortable until yesterday. It will get better.

Yes, I think I have a spriometer for breathing. Can't wait for it to get better! Thanks!

You must force yourself to drink Water, water, water. I use powdered Crystal light. Makes it tasty.

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow. Today, I cut down on the Protein drinks and no sugar-free jello! Forgot that anything with nutrasweet tears me up. I have bloating now, but not as bad as yesterday. These first few days are rough. I've been reading that it only gets better, looking forward to that!

Thank you so much, I'll get some tomorrow. Right now, the bloating is bad again and I'm experiencing some anxiety!

Purchased the peppermint tea today....THANK YOU, YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!! I started drinking it after my walk this afternoon, and the bloating has been very manageable. Thanks again!!!
