Great!! How are you feeling? Mentally you sound pumped. That's the way to handle it. I hope I am over this jittery feeling when it's my time in about 2 weeks. Good luck on your postop and beyond.

I'm actually feeling alot better than i expected. a little sore but pain meds and gas ex help a lot. i actually wasn't nervous at all until About2 hours before surgery. the doctor found huge hiatus hernia and had to fix also so he said i would be more sore than others. can't wait to lose weight and be healthy so ill have energy to play with my son

How are all the recently banded feeling?

I'm two days post-op and feeling ok. Sore and tight where my port is and hungry, but can only drink a little before I feel uncomfortable. Shoulder pain is easing today but I'm feeling like I need to burp and toot all the time!

I had banding today and I was pretty miserable until they adjusted my pain medication, then it as been tolerable. I am more comfortable sitting up than lying down. I'm not having any incisional pain but my stomach itself has a deep dull ache. I should get to leave the hospital tomorrow which would be nice but glad I was in tonight. I am not having any gas issues except for a small amount in between my shoulder blades which is to be expected especailly since they inflated my abdomen. I am not hungry yet but I think that is due to the pain medication aswell. Hope everyone else who has surgery thus far is doing well. I just keep reminding myself that it is all for the best.

Dont be afraid to ask for more pain medication if you need it. Everyone heals at their own rate and if you are hurting all the time you are less likely to be active which could lead to blood clots or pneumonia.

I am now two days out and still feel more comfortable sitting rather than lying down. I had terrible shoulder pain yesterday but today it's more in my abdomen. I started to feel hungry after about 36 hours. But after I have something to eat I feel very uncomfortable, and my tummy makes terrible noises!

I'm still on pain meds which seem to be helping. I am having gas problems as well. I feel like I want to burp but can't!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
