I can't believe how good. I feel. I have almost no gas pain and almost no incision pain. It's incredicle.

Is this the eye of the storm and will the pain hit later or am I just one lucky guy? hahahaha.

You will probably feel some pain tomorrow - when all the anesthesia is worn off. That's how it was for me.

Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Congrats!

I think you will definately feel it tommorrow after the anesthesia has worn off. The 2nd day was the worst for me. I hope you heal nicely. :)

Hi,

I felt so great the day of surgery...I think it was the anesthesia or the PCA Dilaudid...the first day post-op when I went home I was more sore. But now, 7 days post-op, I feel great and so will you ! All in all, I felt MUCH less pain from this surgery than the back pain I felt when I fell off my deck last December !

Congratulations on starting your new life !!

I was banded a week ago tomorrow and was out of bed last Thursday night and home from the hospital Friday. Had no pain, nausea and not even a sore throat from the tube. Even now I have no pain and have kept down all my liquids. They are even talking putting me on the soft stage already!:)

I was surprised at the recovery time too. I was banded a week ago today (time fly's!). Day 1, I was kind of out of it. Day 2...UGH! But all-in-all, nothing unbearable. Day 3 much better by the hours. I took pain meds for 3 days...easing off each of those days and have had none since.

All is so good! Right know I just feel a knot in the left side of my stomach and feel like somebody gently kicked me (the bruises).

1st post-op appt is tomorrow at 1:00PM...can't wait to add some soft foods!

Good luck!!!

      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.
