Band feels tighter now

Hi everyone. 3-1/2 days post-op and pretty sore but feeling ok. Just wish I could get rid of this headache. After the first 36 hours, it seems like the band tighted up or something.... maybe swelling set in?? The first day didn't have any trouble getting anything down. now can hardly get Water down. I did get most of one Protein Shake down today and about 1/2 cup of cream of potatoe Soup. Just a sip or two and a pain in the center of my chest where I assume the band is. Everything sound pretty normal about this? Think maybe the headach is from not getting enough calories the past 2 days but not sure.

The headache can be from not eating, the anesthesia or both. I've read on here a few people who have the same problem as you're having. Keep on liquids for a couple more days and just go slowly. If it doesn't get better, call your doctor. Congrats on the surgery!

Sounds like you are really swollen. I would take it easy and sip sip sip. Make sure you eat regularly as much as you can. Sip away.
