Debbie didn't you say that you got gas x? Did they work ok? I was thinking about buying some as well.

They did work but in conjunction with taking hot showers and using a heating pad. They can be nasty these gas pains. Lol

It's really hard to get your liquids in when you are only taking 1 ounce every 15 minutes the most I get is 45 to 48 I hope that's good

I can't get lots of liquid in either. It's hard! I think I'm getting in about 40 ounces of liquid. I'm trying, buy I can't rush myself! I will get sick!

Hi everyone,

I had a band to RNY revision 5/1/13. There was significantly more pain than I anticipated, and a few minor post op complications, but all in all, things went very well. I stayed in the hospital just 2 nights and was glad to go home.

I stopped pain meds after about a week, and felt like a human after about 1.5 weeks.

Much to my surprise I started feeling real hunger -definitely not in my head- after 1.5 weeks. food still doesn't interest me so often times I just deal with feeling hungry because nothing sounds good.

I still have my JP in and cannot wait to get the stupid thing out. I have lost 23lbs since the date of surgery and feel awesome these past few days.

Hey guys. Just checking in to see how everyone was? Trying to get the Protein and all the fuilds in is tough. I am still trying to figure out I manage to be discharged weighing less than when I went in. Day of surgery I was 245 even with all the Fluid I was 243.2 when I was discharged. Anyways today is 5 days post op and I weight 237. YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY.

Had my surgery may 19th. Just now starting to feel okay, all the stomach feelings are bothering me and at times I can't believe what I did to myself. I hope ill change my mind here in a few months.

Today is the first day I have actually had an appetite. The last 5 days I have been doing my best to get fluids in and not really caring but today is different. I feel the need for something other than liquids. Im not sure if I bored or truly hungry. Anyone else experiencing this. I typically am not one to have head hunger. Also how is everyone else doing with pain? I only have pain at night when trying to get settled to go to sleep.

Same here. I'm trying too but not getting in 64 oz

[crmills74 11]

Anyone feeling weak? I have to stop to take breaks while getting ready cause i feel weak. Reading everyone's experiences have helped a lot. I'm still having cravings but its just when I see food commercials and having my mom here is no help because she's either cooking or bringing something back from some food place (so insensitive). I love her but I'm glad she's leaving tomorrow. Anyway, I'm doing better with the fluids but I can only take 2 oz of Protein shakes right now. So I guess I'll just concentrate on fluids.

I was so weak today I almost passed out. Taking a shower exhausts me.

I didn't gain any weight in the hospital either. Think I peed it all out! I was in the bathroom most of the 2nd day

[chatsmom 22]

I'm checking in....hoping everyone is doing well with recovery. Can't believe how hard this is. I'm getting in approx 2-1/2 shakes a day and about 25 oz of Water along with either s/f Jello or a Popsicle. I can't fit in another drop and I loathe the tastes of the shakes. I've also been walking and did about a 1/2 mile today total but am exhausted beyond belief. Gained 10 lbs in the hospital from all the fluids but have only lost 4 lbs of it as of this morning. Sucks being on the losers bench without actually losing. Hoping and praying this gets better (can't get much worse, right?)
