Hi everyone,

So i got my band placed on june 3rd just last week, i flew to Mexico with my mom and we did it together, the surgery wasn't bad, i was pretty pain free for the most part. but now i am day 5 and i am hungry all the time, and when i am hungry i get a shotting pain up in my neck and shoulder, what is that about, but more so i am hungry, i would give anything to eat something besides broth and Jello, which i know something different will be coming soon, but i am just wondering was anyone else hungry alot after the surgery, also i have a lot of pain at my port site, has anyone else had that?

Thanks

Michelle

Perhaps you can give your doc's office a call to see if they will allow you full liquids sooner than planned. I've seen it happen here many times. And, while you have them on the phone you can ask about the pain you are experiencing.

Take care. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Michelle

I have the opposite issue, I have no desire to eat anything! Regardless most people can start full liquids after 2-3 days. And as far as the shooting pains- i had them. They are due to the gas they pump you up with during the surgery that gets trapped. Just try to walk a lot and you will naturally release it.

Best of Luck!
