Thanks Doweegirl...we will both hang in there. It will all be worth it.

Post op day four is the best day yet. Soreness at my belly button incision. So hungry tho. Seriously, you guys are tolerating creamy blended Soups at 4 days post op? Jello curbs it only for a short time. Protein Shakes too.

Let me know what you guys are "eating"!!

I'm on day 6 post op and everyday gets better. Still have some gas pain, but not as bad as previously. Sore when I get up or down from a lying for sitting position. I also had a hiatal hernia which got repaired during surgery. I've been drinking Protein Shakes, broth, Jello and yesterday graduated to puddings, cream Soups and I even mashed up some potatoes. Everything seems to be going down fine.

I was banded on the 17th and also had to have a hiatal hernia repaired. Still very sore and the gas pain in my shoulder is incredible. Hoping to feel better soon. Still having trouble with the night time hungers.. ughhhh

Hunger pains and gas pains(in abdomen area and shoulder area)..woke up last night and I was dry heaving. I am now afraid to eat..I am working on a yogurt for 2 hours and only half done. I was banded on the 18th.

Think i mayb need to get some metamucil to helo along the full and nausea feeling. Maybe a good bathroom session will help

Any one have ideas for the gas pains and constiptation

Thanks

Try milk of magnesia. It's a life saver!

I used milk of mag, suppositories, enemas, and Miralax on post op day three. (all under the direction of my doc) My poor husband...

Anyway, it's amazing how great a fully functioning healthy bowel will make a person feel. Best of luck NewMe

I had a really sore throat too.

For Soup I highly recommend going to a Jewish deli and getting matzo ball Soup broth.

I was really sore by third and fourth day...take it easy. Use pain meds if you need to but don't forget something to help constipation!!!!! Stomach is healing and body making adjustments from anesthesia and diet change:)
