TeenaD 16 Posted November 1, 2012 Hi Krystle, was banded yesterday too! But only allowed Water for 24 hours, then clear fluids for the rest of the day. How are you feeling? Do you abdominal muscles hurt? I'm really sore! Teena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 1, 2012 My drs orders were just Clear Liquids for first 3 days and even that was difficult, due to swelling. Warm tea was helpful. Best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mzyunique1 18 Posted November 1, 2012 I was banded yesterday too! They had me on ice chips all yesterday, today and the next week I'm on clear liquids. I haven't had to much pain so I'm greatful for that! My incision is only slightly sore but I only had one incision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 1, 2012 I am verry sore and get sharp pains in port I'm 2 1/2 wks out and port site is just now not causing discomfort. The swelling would go up & down there all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe you only have one incision - how lucky are you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iruthie20 24 Posted November 1, 2012 Pain Meds don't give me much relief...I can't sit up by myself still...the pain in my stomache is almost unbearable...today is day four. Yesterday I had a Popsicle and I enjoyed it, however after eating it, I had intense pain for about fifteen mins after making it hard to breathe. Still waiting for the uncomfortable pain to subside.

Oh that doesn't sound good. I've had 2 C-sections prior to this, and I would consider this a breeze compared to then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 1, 2012 I was told clear and full liquids working up to 64 oz a day.. Popcicles' date=' Jello pudding broth diltued juice, Water Protein shakes[/quote'] First 48 hrs dr said worst of swelling. I had hernia repair too. Just try and sip, sip sip. I know first 48hrs only got about 20 oz. of just plain Water. After that got better and better every day. Now after 2 wks I can drink all the 64 oz and then some. Hang in there!
