Banded on 23/10. Four days after op and feeling great! Some discomforts, but to be expected. Can't wait to get back in the gym!

Were you scared to drink anything ? I'm scared a lot of tightness.

Hi' date=' I had My band done yesterday! Pain is not too bad. At first it was horrible!! In the hospital when I first woke up. My throat hurts because they had to put a tube down my throat. They also fixed a hernia. I am hoping tomorrow I can go for A short walk. Not hungry. Had 2 Protein Shakes so far. Water and sf popsicles. Excited to start losing this weight!!![/quote']

Popsicles I'm calling my hubby up right now any special kind.

Keda, I just take tiny, tiny little sips of whatever I drink. Remind yourself constantly that your stomach is the size of a newborn baby's now, so take it slow.... :-)

Hi all, I was successfully banded yesterday. Got to the hospital at 6am and was home by 1:30. Sharp pain on my left side near an incision but otherwise I'm doing great!

Well done! Expect some discomfort, 2nd day is the worst, but after that it gets better every day! Try to walk as a much as possible, but rest a lot as well. All the best!

I am now 9 days post op (dos: 10/18/12) and 9 pounds lost! I had to do a double take this morning when I got on the scale! The pain is manageable, and my body definitely tells me when I have done too much! I feel asleep outside on the hammock yesterday for 3 hours! Still trying to get my fluids in as best I can. I do get hungry and try to drink hot tea or broth, as that helps me feel full.

I go back to work Monday (full moon and a Monday in the medical field..oh boy!) So I have my little emergency kit in my purse: goody's powder, gasX strips, packages of boullion and tea! (bringing the liquid Lortab, just in case!) LOL!

Hoping everyone is doing well and feeling better and recovering worry-free!

so this week i had a client dinner and a night out with friends who don't know i'm banded. I'm 2 weeks post-op and was fine eating Soup at the restaurants, but what i found funny was how much i noticed the amount of food everyone else was eating! I have told everyone i'm on a diet trying to really control portion size and they didnt give it a second thought. It was great. And I've lost weight (although i haven't weighed myself so dont know exact amount) so I fit back into my smaller size jeans which made the whole difference going out!
