Chazmataz 33 Posted May 24, 2013 I just finished up my surgery and I'm sitting in the hospital room trying to eat my "diet" 2 ounces of Water 2 ounces of Jell-O 2 ounces of broth and 1 ounce of apple juice and I can barely get through that I have no desire to eat anything. I'm very sore and my throat hurts from the tube but other than that I'm walking fine used the restroom and should be going home soon. 6 kah1213, KarenElaine, TheDuchess and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleath 5 Posted May 25, 2013 Hi everyone, banded May 21st. Was told to concentrate on liquids so to not get dehydrated. Very hard to get that in let alone the recommended Protein. Having terrible gas pains, will get some gas x tomorrow if it doesn't let up by tomorrow. However, I'm very excited to recieve my tool. Before I got banded, I lost 30 lbs and an additional 12 lbs between pre-op and 3 days post-op. I look forward to the sharing of ur journeys, as I will share mine. 1 dawalsh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazmataz 33 Posted May 25, 2013 Second day and I'm still pretty sore. Band aids came off in shower and scars look good. Still very tender to the touch. It's good to walk around, I food they're I sit the stiffer I am loving my pillow, it has been a comfort. How is everyone else feeling today? 2 Queenshe2014 and dawalsh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stinababy 13 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi ladies, I was banded May 3rd and I thought i'd never survive the full liquid diet. I kept asking myself "why did I do this to myself!?!", but I survived and I am excited I chose to do this. Hang in there. Like everyone says, everyday gets better and they truly do. My port is still a little sore when I turn an awkward way, but it's all been worth it. Down 16 lbs post-op. Getting my first fill in 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellbelly 8 Posted May 26, 2013 Hello, new here! I was banded on Monday 5 days ago. I watched YouTube videos of post op patients and they all seemed so ok and no pain and that the surg was no big deal. So I went in thinking that, but I had so much gas pain in shoulders and neck up to the jaw. My doc didn't say I could take gas x but finally I had to take some when i was on day 4 and oh what a relief after that the following day. I guess everyone recipes from surgery differently, so just remember that to all the new patients after being banded. I would say that today is the first day I feel my closest to feeling back to the normal me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessie7473 9 Posted May 26, 2013 I'm on day 7 postop. It will get better. I still have very little appetite. Now have some insomnia for the first time in a while. You will do great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would go into spasms really bad. It's still there today but not as severe. Using the heating pad and Gas-x. Hope you're feeling better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chazmataz 33 Posted May 26, 2013 Today I'm going threw hell! In sooooo much pain!! Very tight syomach feel like I got something in my throat and the gas pains are horrific!! And my back is killing!! Up all night for me again :( I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain. My stomach too is very tight and I've been taking my pain medicine every four hours consistently. The doctor also prescribed something for the gas, maybe you can call and have them put a prescription for you if gas x is not working. Hang in there, I'm only on day three but I have got to hope that it's gonna get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
