misseyb73 6 Posted June 6, 2012 I'm 3 days out and feeling better...walking helps with the gas and bloating. Soreness is centralized in one area which I believe is where my port is....I actually got down some cream of brocolli Soup and it was yummy and no side effects! I'm feeling more and more confident everyday and my family/friends support is very much needed and appreciated! Hope all the other june bandsters are doing well on their journey...actually hope all banders past present and future has an amazing journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KelzDown 10 Posted June 6, 2012 I was also banded 6/4 and everyday I feel better. The heating pad was a life saver. I'm hoping to take a trip to New Mexico on the 20th. I hope I'm feeling whole again by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MemphisFan 18 Posted June 7, 2012 I was banded on the fifth and was told Clear Liquids for three full days because the stomach is so sore and going through such a trial... But you're having thick protien shakes on day two? It's so odd that different drs ave different rules yet we all basically had the same operation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's so odd that different drs ave different rules yet we all basically had the same operation I was banded on the 1st and I am on clear liquids till the 14th then I can progress to full liquids.

Wyld_Love 5 Posted June 7, 2012 I was banded yesterday and am on clear liquids but my dr told me to go at my own pace. He sd if after a couple of days of clear I am doing good, then I can advance to full liquids. So, yeah there are many different opinions as to how to proceed...
