daisychains7 427 Posted May 13, 2012 Surgery was Tuesday so I am 6 days post op now? Or is it 5? Lol. I feel pretty good today. Burping lots. Drinking doesn't bother my tummy as much and I can get up and down pretty easy. My sister is taking me to my follow up appt on Monday. All the 5/14 bandsters, you will do amazing! Take deep breaths, pray and remember you have nothing to be afraid of. @bbbanded lol, funny you say that... I'm not even sure where my port is! Did they give you that little IS breathing thing to help inhale deeply? It's a great feeling to be able to get up on your own with less pain. hope all goes well at work tomorrow. Take it easy. @minimoo747 Congrats!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathermarie0407 67 Posted May 13, 2012 I had surgery on Thursday. It hurts but the pain is bearable, it's worst when you first wake up and the more you walk the better you will feel, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamg 29 Posted May 13, 2012 My surgery was Friday the 11th. Is there anyone out there that is suffering from an ear aches? My right ear is hurting along with my throat.....I pray I'm not coming down with something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted May 13, 2012 @Tamg my throat hurt a little but no ear ache. It's normal to be hungry or feel like you can eat anything. Our bands are unfilled and there is no restriction yet. I'm still on Clear Liquids, but starting to get a little hungry. My surgeon said not to focus on losing weight yet, only healing. Still NOTHING compared to how ravenous I was on the pre op diet! We can do this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandrie 23 Posted May 13, 2012 I'm hungry already! Trying to fill up on Protein Drinks but still hungry! I miss food! So jealous of all these ppl that can eat!

bbbanded 70 Posted May 13, 2012 So, I'm aloud to shower today but idk how. haha I'm not sure if I should take the bandages off or what eep any advice?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Divine_swoman 5 Posted May 13, 2012 I am 6 days post op and I am starving!!!! I haven't cheated or anything thank god.... Is this normal? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk My surgery was May 8th too. I had plication with the Lapband and I don't think I've had real hunger, more mind hunger. Have guys noticed that almost every commerical is related to food!!! No wonder loosing weight is so hard inthis country ) I've only had broth & Popsicles until about 30 min ago, I tired roasted Tomato Soup. It was soooo good!!! Starting Protein Shakes tomorrow, I need some energy. How many calories are you getting in? You might check with your doc to see what you can have that has a view more calories.

daisychains7 427 Posted May 13, 2012 Omg I know. These food commercials suck. I want flatbread, penne Pasta, or chicken so bad. I miss cooking and chewing on a flavorful meal. I am definitely not gonna cheat, and look forwars to yogurt and creamy Soups after monday. but today has been a little tough cuz I feel the liquids going right through me. So' date=' I'm aloud to shower today but idk how. haha I'm not sure if I should take the bandages off or what eep any advice??[/quote'] I'd keep the bandages on and just sponge bath the tummy area instead of having running Water over it. No lotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
