Lap band today!

[bandedbunny 2]

Momma2vincent hope you get well soon! I was banded a week ago today. At first I had soreness and those awful gas shoulder pains, but now it's gone and I'm feeling much more normal now!

Wishing you luck on your liquids! X

Update...my surgeon called me today and said I'm recovering well from what I've told him. He did say I can start Protein Shakes tomorrow if I feel up to it. Honestly Water is hard to get down at times especially in the morning...don't thnk I'm ready for the shakes yet. I do drink very slow and take about 2 to 5 min between sips. When did u start Protein shakes? Any tips on how to soothe my tummy in the morning to get it ready for somthng thicker!

Try starting your morning with a nice, hot drink. coffee, tea... Whatever turns you on. A lot of people find a hot drink will help loosen up and relax things a little, making it easier for Protein shakes and Water and so on to pass on through.

If you are on full liquids, you should be good to go for protein shakes.

Wow, I would like to feel some sort of restriction, (I think). I have not had any issues swallowing, eating Jello and so on. Started a day early with the Soups today. Thinking of hanging a sign around my neck saying dont feed, lap bander in training and hungry.

Hang in there Nolans nana!

Now your laughing has me laughing and that hurts! lol

I remember the worst part of post surgery was trying not to laugh! I couldn't watch any comedies and had to tell my boyfriend to stop being funny. Oh that really was painful!

[NolansNana 210]

Yes it does! Wishing this shoulder pain would go away. I'm walking, taking gasx. Still a lot of gas inside me.

[The Icy One 518]

Slinks off to be unfunny, somewhere else.

*forever alone*

Heating pad. Just don't cook yourself. And a bit of Motrin. (Get your surgeon's okay on the Motrin, first. Some are okay with it, some are not.) Those really helped me with my shoulder discomfort. It was the worst part of my post op. Seriously. I LIVED under my heating pad.

[Colleen C 169]

What Icy one? Your not alone! and not allowed to slink off either!

Showing the love here, showing the love!

[NolansNana 210]

Yes my heating pad is my bestfriend right now.

[NolansNana 210]

Still feeling a lot of restriction. Just been sipping.
