Hi. I was banded may 29. How are you feeling?

[911chrystal 12]

I'm sore but I'm ok. How are you feeling?

Banded on 29th I'm extremely sore and feel so bloated

I was banded on 29th.. Feeling ok.. Still sleepy but also still taking pain meds. Pain is very tolerable as long as I keep taking the meds every 4 hours. Gas isn't too bad, really think drinking mint tea has helped that. I'm surprised that liquid is going down so easily... How bout all if you?

Still waiting on actual fluids, should come any time... Very sore and very sleepy but can't sleep. Couldn't sleep but 15-20 mins at a time last night too "/

I agree I stay on top of the pain by taking the pain meds and gas x. I'm struggling to get liquid in, but I'm not killing myself these first few days.

I was banded yesterday 5/30. Still in quite a bit of pain. I am taking the liquid lortab, but it just seems to knock the edge off. liquids are going down pretty easily. Tomorrow I can have thin Soup (no particles) so I'm pretty excited about that.

Yay!!! I woke up today (banded on 5/29) and am feeling better.. Only have taken lortab twice today, but still sleeping a lot...well at least for me, I've never been a napper. And soup is exciting!!!

I still can't really eat. Also, I haven't had a BM but i havent been eating anything so im not surprised. I think if it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'll go get some Miralax or something. I haven't had the nerve to step on the scale yet, but I am feeling a lot better. I'm taking Percocet, but I'm going to start taking Tylenol tomorrow because I need to drive.

And I slept on my belly some last night I've lost 22 pounds so far and I'm feeling pretty good havent taken any pain meds since about 4 days post op. going to try to do some fishing tonight! Before I go crazy in this house haha I'm going back to work wed (had a ton of sick time so went ahead and took two weeks)
