That is normal! You will be excited tomorrow when you get there. Be ready to come home, walk as often as you can and drink lots! Good luck!

Mine is Tuesday but I was told by others make sure to wear a sports bra and a shirt your not attached to as your incisions may bleed on them.

One of the ladies in my pre op class ruined her baby blue shirt.

Shop before hand for the first 1-2 weeks you will not want to go out to the store.

sugar free Popsicles have been several people's saving grace apparently.

Good luck!! Your in my prayers.

Same thing happened to me a year ago. Now I add a clear Fiber to my Water every day along with the stool softener. We are nowneating so different and a lot less Fiber then we used to. Glad you got a fix. One time with that problem is all it takes!

Best of luck and congrats! Some things to have are low sodium broth, whatever Protein Drink your doctor suggests, sugar free popsicles and Jello and gas-x strips if possible if not the chewable tablets.

I was banded Friday May 3rd and ive been living off sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, some broth and Water.

Still sore 2 days later, but the pain subsided quicker than I was expecting.

Good luck to you!!

I was really scared because I could not Go to the bathroom for 5 days. Is that normal with the surgery procedure.

Perfectly normal. Your doctor should have warned you though

Don't be surprised if the second day is worse than the first, but for me it's been increasingly better everyday since day 3.

Be careful, you don't want to be constipated. Put additional Fiber in your drinks or take a stool softener.
