Eljmom-

Gas came a little last night, I was able to pass quite a bit of it. Laying on my back with my knees bent in bed. I am keeping everything down. It is hard to get it all in. I had NSA carnation, made w/skim milk, and 1 scoop of body flex choc. Protein powdwer for Breakfast. Yummy little treat (actually it takes three hours to eat 12oz.). Minimal pain meds. Still sore in the stomach. Slept pretty well last night. Only woke up twice. I am suppose to have 24 oz Protein Drinks (60g. protein), and 24oz. non calorie beverage a day, 2 chewable multi-vitamins, 2 T Calcium, & pain meds. Never thought I would say this, but that is a lot of food!

Hi everyone :mad:

I was banded on Thursday. Doc said there was a little trouble because I had some scar tissue from having my gall bladder out years ago. I spent Thursday night at the hospital and came home on Friday. Last night I had to call back in because I got a fever of 101. They said I wasn't doing the after surgery breathing thing enough...so I'm trying really hard to do it more consistently. I've hated it, though, because breathing in deeply is a bit painful.

I'd planned to go back to work on Monday. As of right now, I'm a little concerned that might not be possible, but we'll see. I'm trying to get some more walking in today and tomorrow.

A little gas pain. Some pain in my belly. Pretty bloated around the port scar area. Not hungry at all.

That's it for me. Congrats to everyone who got banded this week, and good luck to next week's bandsters.

LisaM- I was just wondering about scarring from gallbladder removal! I scar very easily outside and who knows about inside. Guess I will find out in TWO DAYS!!! Woohoo!

Hi mannamay,

I have a horrible bruise in and around the incision in my belly button. The others are lightly bruised, and the one where my port is has no bruise at all, but wowsers, my belly button looks like I have been beaten up or something. I also have a huge bruise on my forearm from my IV site. The stuck me three times to get it and the one stick that was actually good is almost as bruised as my belly button!

PS...my incisions are getting itchy too...at least we know we are healing!!

Thanks NurseLaureli---It's good to know that I am not the only one wit the brusining. I didn't get cut around the belly button, my port incision is about 2 inches up from middle of belly button and 2 inches to the left (my left). You know what, on my IV, it was so cool, the burse gave me lidocain to numb my hand before she attempted the IV, didn't even feel the IV needle go in. It was awesome, and she got it on the first try. Never has a nurse do that before. Sorry to hear that your IV area is really brusied up. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will look a little better. Good Luck!

I was banded 5/16 and feeling really crappy. The gas is the worse pain but I am going to try some of the suggestions that we sent to me from the website. I am excited that I am finally done and just concentrating on getting better. :=)

Yesterday was the Day.. I'm so excited to finally be banded. I'm not in alot of pain either.. Just when getting up from lying down.. This experience has been great all the way around. My doctor even prayed with me before we went back into surgery.. That ment alot to me. He has been great.

Melissa, thanks for the suggestion. Ground up meds are horrible and if red Jello will disguise the taste, I'm going to make some now.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have some red Jello (I think it may be Black Cherry) here at home... I think I'll try that!!!

I tried applesauce this morning... the first bite wasnt bad... the second was worse...and the third... UUGHH!!! SO... hopefully the red Jello will do the trick!

I was banded at NWWLS with Dr. Michaelson on the 17th. I am doing really good so far. Not too much pain, just a jostled feeling in my torso. The liquid Lortab and heating pad have been my friend! I took 3 Aleve and popped them at one time and thought, hmmm, I probably shouldn't have done that. It was a bit uncomfortable, but the nurse directed me to drink a warm beverage, or even warm Water to help the pills disolve faster. it worked!

I would like to be put on the calendar too! I haven't heard from Wenjea yet, but she was banded the same day at St. Francis.

      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.
