Just got my band today



Recommended Posts

And I'm surprisingly in almost no pain? I can walk, have a little gas pain in my shoulder but that went away with moving around. Did anyone else experience this? I'm hoping the pain doesn't come big time tomorrow!

Congrats! I got mine today too, also little pain, although I have discomfort in my shoulders as well as my belly when I go from sitting to standing. I'm sure the Percocet has a lot to do with it (I have a sensitivity to Vicodin so they gave me something stronger). I am super tired right now. Good on you for walking - that is really key to feeling better sooner. I took one short wall this afternoon and will go for another this evening.

I hope to be proven wrong and I am pre op but have had my fair share of surgeries and usually it takes a couple days for the pain to come due to the anesthesia still being in your system for a coupe days.

Like I said I hope I am proven wrong and you have no more discomfort than what you are feeling now!

Congrats to everyone that was banded today!

I actually did have to go get my daughter. Granted, we live less than a mile from her school, but I wasn't sure I was up to walking two miles. I might try to tomorrow. I stopped taking pain medicine at 7 this morning but took a little tonight.

      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.
