I was banded the 13th. Dont know how you can do it without regular doses of pain meds. I'm taking them at regular intervals without fail. Had my gallbladder out in June and I remember what happens if you wait till it hurts to take something. Anybody having a hard time taking a deep breath? I had some serious recovery room problems post op and I'm having a hell of a time taking a deep breath. Im working the little plactic breathing meter, but I'm in a pretty fair amount of pain after.

The shift lt , don't be down on yourself about pain med . That is a very individualized subjective thing, do what you need to do and don' t get in that grind of comparing yourself. That is what makes you so special. We all are different . ( isn't that a blessing) ! :)

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. Still struggling, but I'm optimistic and excited at the same time. This is just another adventure in life we can all learn from and become better as a result! Stay strong!

I was banded on Wednesday and Im doing pretty good. Walking helps and I am not in too much pain, just a dull ache around the port area...day two felt like I did 1000 sit ups but that is going down as well. The swelling added about 5lbs but they should be gone in a couple days....so far happy with my decision

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
