Wendydarling19 310 Posted January 23, 2014 I am finally banded and so super excited! I feel like crap though! This gas pain is a real killer and my mouth is so dry and my throat hurts from intubation. Pain killers are a blessing though! I am so excited to start my journey! Right now I'm taking it slow just excited now to go buy some gas x hahaha! This pain isn't unbearable with pain meds and it's so so worth it! 9 CaGottaBand, PuraVida37, FruitLoop and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendydarling19 310 Posted January 26, 2014 Thanx everyone! Been feeling much better! Still tryin to work out my gas pains though. I am hoping to be back to school by Tuesday and work by Friday. Haven't been hungry and kind of eating at my own pace. I'm on liquids so lots of Popsicles and Water and Gatorade broth and pudding! Can't wait to eat normal food again though and really get started! Hoping the dr clears me for puréed or soft foods on Friday 1 FruitLoop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping the dr clears me for puréed or soft foods on Friday I found that peppermints REALLY helped the sore throat!!! GOOD LUCK with your continued recovery!!!
