December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!

Wow i made it to the one week post surgery mark. Today was a good day. The shoulder/neck pains have finally let up. That was worse than the incision pain by far. My glue is lifting and itchy so i guess I'm healing. It's so hard not to lift stuff. As an independent single girl I'm used to doing it all myself. I hope i didn't overdo it this week.

What a great way to start 2013

I'm curious, what did you do for your shoulder? I'm 10 days out and the pain is still intense.

I don't believe so... I just selected "join group" and it let me right in. I've been able to make posts.

Hmm... Asks me for password. Maybe cuz I'm using my phone.

So I am feeling pretty good since my surgery on the 19th. I went and tail gated and watched the Skins stomp the Cowboys last night. I stood for the 4 hours of tail gating and then stood the entire game. I ate my Soup and just fought off wanting to enjoy tail gate food. I can't wait to move to mushies. Post-Op appointment Thursday :-) My only problem is it hurts to tie my shoes and hurts to bend over at my port site. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what are you doing about it? Looking forward to an amazing and healthy 2013.

I watched the skins and cowgirls game!! Lol so glad the skins are coming back! I am a die hard fan And will never give up on them!!! Had surgery on the 18th and had hernia repair! Feeling lots better today!

Post-op day # 3. The gas pain in my shoulder was hell. It is almost gone now. Moving around pretty good now. First night I slept in the recliner then moved to the bed the next day. Im tolerating my liquids and soft food. Just alot of gas in my stomach still.

Hi everyone. I had my surgery yesterday 12-31-12...so I guess I am technically in yalls group Just wanted to say hi. I am doing well. Drinking a lot and feel no restriction with fluids. I have 3 cc in a 10cc band and my first fill is scheduled for 1-28-13

[NaNcyNiCoLe 94]

Y'all I was banded on the 14th and I still get shoulder pain.

I don't go for my first fill until the 19th and that is one of the questions I will be asking.

Also ever since I've started mushies my weight lost has stopped and also my bathroom schedule.

Go figure !

I'm from Texas and I'm glad the Cowgirls lost too !

Congrats Melissa! Hope you are doing well in your recovery!

I had mine yesterday too - home by about 2:30 with lots of gas and a little soreness right in the center of my torso...didn't stop me from hobbling to a friends house for a low key (toasting the new year with my sippy cup of water) New Year's party. I can't believe how thirsty I am - just thankful it's not hunger cause there is no way I'm getting any food down for awhile. Slept okay last night other than having to sleep in the guest room because my bed was way too close to the ground to get in & out of easily. Today, I'm feeling better so hopefully the worst is behind.

Thank's all!

I'm taking a pro-biotic and it helps with the bathroom issues. As far as no weight loss, r u getting enough Protein? What r u eating? I do see this a lot on the support group from the hospital and that is what our nurse asks. Best of luck!

I am very hungry now. The liquids are not doing anything for me. Is ice the only thing on the menu day 2 post op lol?
