I've actually been in a lot if pain since my initial posts. I'm not sure if it's from the port or he fixed my hernia but my right side is SO SORE. So getting in and out of bed haven't been fun, I was expecting gas pain but wasn't expecting thaf, but no gas and I've been up and walking around.

Glad to hear you're doing well

My hernia repair and my right side are what hurts the most also. But my hernia was in my esophagus so it hurts in my chest. I think my ports on the left side. It doesn't hurt too bad at all I'm still having some mobility issues getting in and out of bed and turning. Otherwise I'm not doing bad at all. I have gas pains in my left shoulder and I'm also having gurgling from eating foods again. I'm just glad it's over with.

I am glad it's over too. I am post-op since Monday and I am still sore but it's getting better each day. I still can't sleep on my side. I really miss that. I am still having a lot of soreness on my left side where my port is and today I ran a fever so I'm not quite there yet. I still have to take the pain meds at night. That's when it hurts the most.

i am really only having pain from the gas I think. I did get to sleep on my side cuddled up to a pillow. that seemed to help. Hurts some when I try to cough, haven't taken any pain meds since yesterday around noon. i am just ready to be normal again. normal meaning get in the green zone. oh my... that sneeze hurt lol

It has been 1 week since surgery and I feel pretty good. Yay! I go back to work Tuesday. I'm looking forward to my first fill!! Glad to hear everyone is doing good!

[betty_s 476]

feeling better by the day, too. still sore getting up and down of the couch and in the bed, but when I'm not moving I'm good.

Haven't had any bad gas pains, just a little rumble that I treated with gas-x chewables.< /p>

Been fine getting two Protein shakes in plus my creamy Soup with unjury chicken Soup flavor, so my 60 grams have been easy to get. Plus I'm able to get all my Water in too, so everything is going great! I find if I drink too fast, it feels tight, but it doesn't happen often. I haven't been using those little cups from the hospital, just sipping out of bottles and cups.

Good luck to those who haven't been banded yet! Can't wait to see you on the other side!

so lunch with mom was good. i wasted money on the buffet but the egg drop Soup, sushi centers and a little sweet potato was yummy

didn't really eat much now that I think about it. spoon full or two of sweet potato, soup, and 3 sushi centers (mashed) and i called it quits. feeling much better today than yesterday. going to go back to work half day on tuesday i think.

Are you already on mushies? I'm on full liquids for At least a week..

[Cindi2014 57]

Glad you are doing well Betty !!! I am on full liquid through Wednesday. can't wait to begin the mushy phase.

[Vtsoutherngal 52]

Full liquid but includes "some" other things as long as its creamy

I'm scheduled for may 23rd!! So excited to get this weight off! I don't have to go on a pre-op diet since my BMI is (barely) under 40.

How long were you on a full-liquid diet? I'm 9-days post-op and still on the full liquid diet.
