Day 2 Off Post Op...help...i Feel Like....

[Cooper1 4]

So glad I found you guys too! I was banded on June 14th, so day 6 post op, and don't feel very good. Mainly the gas pain and pain in my chest (under the sternum) and between my shoulder blades. Always feel like I have to burp and sometimes I do burp/hiccup and it hurts, so worried about my band slipping because of this, I'm not sure if that's a worry or not but I find myself worrying about everything. I'm lucky to get 8oz down a day plus some popsicles. I so want this to get better and be on my way to a good diet and weight loss! My stomach is still so bloated/swollen, wondering when this gets better. Have some pain when sitting/standing but not all the time. Trying to walk around as much as I can. Today was the first day I thought why did I do this? Guess I thought I would be much better by now. I see my Dr. tomorrow for 1 week visit.

I had my surgery yesterday and I feel great. I have pain at the incision points, but most of gas is moved out. I am starving! That is the hardest part. I just want to eat! I called my Dr and they gave me permission to eat scrambled egg and yogurt. I am drinking my Protein Shakes and still on bouillion and Water. I hope it gets better soon for you.

I was banded 9-20-11. For the first couple

Of months I was very well aware that I've been banded. Just the idea of it there was my drive to succeed at this.

Now, most of the time I forget I even have it. When I go

Out to eat it is just natural to order healthier foods and foods of smaller portions.

Like everything else this is a roller coaster. Some days it's a uphill struggle and other days it's a down hill breeze.

You've made the decision to change your life and everyday achieve your goal for the day.
