I'm day 4 and had a rough day today. My pain seems to come and go now but when it comes, it comes with a vengeance. I'm so hungry and have a hard time even sipping liquids. I just keep telling myself "it will get better!"

It will get better. It is a journey, but it will get better!

I'm still having gas pains as well & I'm day 12 post op. It feels good to be on soft foods vs liquids now, but this discomfort us awful. I just keep praying & each day is a little different. I was regretful at first, but now I'm not. I'm ready for what this journey has in store for me. Hope it gets better for you. I'm here if you need me. My family is very supportive & my husband is the best, but sometimes you need people that are going through the same thing. Take care.

You are definitely not alone! I am single and my parents are out of town. I wa banded Thursday. Sitting in my bed right now eating watery, runny oatmeal (doc said it was ok) and waiting on a friend to bring me a thermometer. Luckily, I haven't had the horrible gas pains but I've had fever and body aches. Hot showers, heating pad, liquid Tylenol, walking (just in case), and SF hot cocoa are what's getting me through. I've had "what have I done" moments but keep reminding myself I WILL get past this and it WILL be worth it. Your attitude determines your altitude, so stay positive. These days are very temporary.

I had the fever ans body aches too. I also have had the "why did I do this" feeling but as everyone else says I'm trying to stay positive ans look at the future. I am here for anyone who needs to talk as well!! Thanks for everyone's support and encouragement.

Very proud of your determination & positive outlook! Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure you know to report fever to your surgeon.

Hang in there!

I agree w/ the other posters, it does get better. If you have to take it hour by hour, do so. Also, if the pain is that bad, do you still have pain meds from the doctor? I was given liquid pain meds that helped. I tried to only take them if it was really bad.

Your doctor said only liquids for a month? When are you allowed mushies? Also, are you on clear liquid or just liquid now? Make sure you are doing Protein Drinks so it helps keep you full and helps the healing. Also, make sure you are sipping your liquids as if you are drinking too fast, that can add to the gas discomfort.

The first weeks aren't fun, but they are so worth it. This will pass!

I had back pain around a week after surgery and I chalked it up to gas pain. It only last about 2 days thankfully. It was quite painful. This too will pass. Good luck.
