I was just banded this morning!!! Feeling ok so far but really sore on the upper abdomen for obvious reasons!!! Not looking forward to tomorrow since I see a lot of people saying how the pain is worse day 2! Sad!!!

I'm on liquid Percocet and its not helping with the pain too much! Oh well I know it'll all be worth it in the end and this pain will be a distant memory!!

Maddox you will be fine. Day 2 was the worst but only a few hours because I wasn't able to hit my morphine pump. If u have pain meds it's okay!!! Everyone says this but I swear every day u feel way better than the day before starting after day 3. It's incredible how much you heal like overnight! Welcome to the other side Bd just be so happy and grateful you are now able to start a happy healthier you where you can gain confidence and self esteem!! Congratulations and stay strong. You will be great!

Did they hurt pulling them off? I'm waiting for my doctor cause I'm a chicken but just curious. Also had a real bm and it wasn't painful. I took 2 stool softners around 11-12 I suggest doing that for people who r in pain. It went perfectly thank god!!

Glad it all worked out ok :)

4 did not hurt. The fifth was immediately resistant so I didn't push it and just left it on there.

Good idea but ur pic wasn't bad at all. I was bit in the face by a German Shepard at age 8 and had plastic surgery and you could see my teeth when my mouth was closed so it was bad. my mom would smear liquid Vitamin e on my face. My scars are hardly noticeable. I never had anyone notice them I had to tell them. I am hoping to one day be able to wear two piece again cause I have little stretch marks and I want to heal and cover my incision marks bet as possible. Ill be using vitamin e on my scars.

Day 6 and feeling better by the day! Staples out tomorrow! Worked yesterday, came home after 6 hours. Went in today and worked 7 hours in the office then had a dinner seminar for 3 hours. I had broth while everyone else was eating lamb chops and drinking wine! But it was fine, I was happy with my broth!!!! My back started hurting and I felt a little nausea, left the seminar early. Feeling much better lying in my bed! I hope everyone is doing well!!!!

So' date=' is Peanut Butter a liquid?[/quote']

Sadly I don't think so, but if you are craving that taste you might be able to find a Protein powder flavored with it.

      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.
