Day 4 Post-Op

[goldielox_89 4]

Well I'm new to the land of lapband. It's pretty exciting. I'm still in a bit of pain when I move but I can get comfortable.

I'm 23 and in Australia. Pretty excited about starting my new life. Please wish me luck on my journey

Hi there! I'm 2 days post op and feeling about the same as you. Had some pretty wicked gas pain yesterday even with walking, but better today. Actually not in much pain at all if I stay still. Best wishes to you on your journey!

Newbies, get up and walk as much as you can. Start out at 5 minutes every hour. That will help to get rid of the gas pain.

Congratulations and good luck. Keep us informed o. How you are doing!

Awesome! I had mine on 8/20/12 I am down 22 lbs. It was the best thing I ever decided to do. I had pain the first week. The more you can walk the better. I started at commercials I would get up and walk around my dining room table until my show started. I still have some problems bending over, but it is getting better. I am walking more and more every day and I am starting a Water aerobics class in a week. I get my first fill on Wednesday and am looking forward to it as I am hungry in between meals. Good luck to you. The hardest part is over.

Best of luck! I was banded on 09-06-12 and I agree with everyone on the walking. I am not having much pain other than when I drink something. When I drink anything (even water) I get pains and feel the need to burp. I am a huge Water drinker so it is weird not to drink a lot. The Protein Shakes seem to go down a little better.
