[destynee1 417]

Good morning LB Fam! I was banded on 10/23 and I'm hungry!!! Is this normal??? Geesh, this isn't fun. To heck with these liquids, I'm ready for a piece of fish or chicken! Even a piece of fruit. Boy oh boy, this is a test of my willpower.

Girl.. don't I know! I was banded on the 22nd. so we are a day apart. and I am so over liquids! lol. Ice cream has always been my downfall.. I don't even want that!!! I just want food! healthy healthy food! lol. Im hungry . i love Soup and im sick of Soups too >< lol

I was banded Friday the 26 October did Zumba today I might pay for it later

Hello! We're you cleared for that type of exercise? I only say that because there are numerous complications that can happen from exerting yourself before your band and port are anchored good by scar tissue. Can you call your doc and see? I'd hate for a slip or a flip to happen.

All I have to say is props to those of you saying that ya'll didn't need pain meds. I feel like a whiney baby. Lol. I usually handle pain pretty well. Who knows, it might be my period added in the mix. Idk.

I take my pain meds right on the dot. Sometimes I want them sooner and have to wait. I'm in a lot of pain so don't feel whiny!

That's surgical gas. I am 6 days post op and stay burping.

It all depends on what they gave you and how they did the surgery. I was given a shot of heparin before surgery. I was banded 10-12 and I still have a bruise where they gave me the shot. It's also really close to where my biggest incision is and the most tender area. I go for my first post-op on Monday and get my first fill so hopefully they will be able to tell me how much of it is normal.

Congrats on banding

I have a lot of bruising. Very red around some of the incisions too. Something I will have to keep an eye on
