1 week since surgery..

[bamagurl 98]

My surgery was Oct 30th with hernia repair. My Budda belly is sore and bloated but actually was able to have a movement this morning for the first time ... and such relief afterwards! I am super hungry one minute and not the next but happy to report that I am able to drink my liquids without restriction. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get all my h2o in. My post-op appointment is tomorrow. Not really in any pain, but the sore 'I just did 1000 crunches' feeling is subsiding slowly day by day. Wishing everyone continued success with their bands!! It really seems to get easier each day

8 days postop, I too have left shoulder pain and had a substantial hernia repaired. Last night I put rotisserie chicken in the food chopper, had less than a cup and used a baby spoon, after The pain in my shoulder was evident. I am happy to report a 14 lb loss from preop and postop diet, this forum is so helpful to know what you are feeling is normal.
