hisladyvi 8 Posted December 8, 2012 I was banded tuesday. Im in pain still not too bad just uncomfortable. Im starting to get hungry and im dredding the shakes.... Thinking of trying some cooked veggies or something. Anyone else ate yet afterwards? I was banded Thursday and I have a post opt diet to follow no solids for three weeks. Thin liquids first week, thick liquids second week, mushers third week. I drink Muscle Milk Protein Shakes they're delicious especially the Cookies and cream. 2 Desotogirl and wvsweetspot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banjo257 920 Posted December 8, 2012 My surgery is December 17th!! I've been on the liquid diet 4 days now, it's hard, but I actually feel great and it's boosted my inner strength somehow. I also started seeing a therapist this week to give me support through all of this. There is nothing wrong with taking charge of your health and happiness. Be proud, and I'll be sending good vibes your way! amen girlfriend!!! I have a panic attack disorder and have to see a therapist weekly. Mine is looking forward to helping me with the anxiety.

Marybell 22 Posted December 8, 2012 Good luck tomorrow Marybell! Im up and moving for a few, ive been relaxing in the recliner since about 6. so 4hours maybe- when i woke up i was throwing up so they gave me medicine which knocked me out and when i came to i was throwing up more. so i had to stay longer then expected. surgery was done at 11. but wasnt discharged until 430. the nurses stuck me 7x to get a iv line. finally the charge nurse had to do it. when i woke up i was so sore and uncomfortable. but around 2 that wore off and i wanted to pee and walk. so i did. its nice to be home in my own chair though. my arms feel heavy and my left side of my stomach is sore. doctor said my liver looked great. i did have an umbilical hernia but that is all no heital hernias. thanks for all ur support dear 1 Banjo257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
