KEMULLINS 3 Posted May 10, 2012 I am scheduled for May 23, I am uber excited. I'm on my liquid diet. It hasn't be bad, just had to find ways to spice up the flavors. :wub: I have been trying to find out how to put the ticker up on my profile. Could someone please tell me how?

MandaElaine 20 Posted May 10, 2012 I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, LOL! As usual though I let my anxiety and emotions run my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer LaRusso 3 Posted May 10, 2012 I just keep telling myself it cant be too much worse than a c-section and I made it through that just fine. So hopefully it won't be as excruciating as it sounds. The only difference is that during a c-section they don't fill you with gas. You will have gas pains they should go away in a few days.

KEMULLINS 3 Posted May 10, 2012 Lilbelly: I'd do a new ticker then copy the code they give you and paste it to your signature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daisychains7 427 Posted May 11, 2012 Really hope I did not scare anyone off. What may be extreme pain for me may not be that bad to someone else. I am 2 days post op... Very gassy and the port/cincisions are painful but it gets a bit easier every day. I found Pain was the worst right after coming out of the OR and when i try to move too quickly. Today has been more bearable. Wishing all the recent bandsters the best w/ everything. We have to keep our eye on the prize when it gets rough! Please let us know how everything is going.

Sandrie 23 Posted May 11, 2012 I am 3 days post op and I'm hungry' date=' but every time I drink broth, eat popsicles, or even Water my stomach hurts. I don't understand this. Anyone have same problems? Suggestions? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk[/quote'] Water and broth have been good to me! Popsicles and Jello not so much! Feel sick maybe cuz it's sweet even though its sugar free!! I have nausea pills I take every 6 he's helps a bit but very yucky feeling! Drink a lot of water seems to be my friend!!!
