Hey there, congratulations on your surgery and here you are already! Just follow your instructions to the 't' and you will do beautifully. One of the things I had to learn about my banded life is that hunger is not the enemy. Out of control appetite, yes. I had been so screwed up for so many years it took a while to get in touch with my hunger and really feel it. I have to say it's a beautiful thing to be in sync with my body again. The early healing stages are a good time to practice listening in to the body. You'll need that later! And don't pay attention to any one else's post-op instructions, just yours. Best wishes!

Congratulations on being banded. Yes unfortunately you're going to be hungry for a while. This stage is the hardest and most crucial part. I can't iterate enough how you mustn't deviate from your orders. Keep on sipping and you'll do just fine. Best wishes to you.

Ugh I've read so much on this forum about days after. Today is the 3rd and this morning was awful. I think the shot to deaden my belly has officially worn off. I do get up and walk around and I look kinda hunch backed. I'm still not sure what sliming is yet but I keep coughing up fat loogies. Sorry if that's gross I have been sleeping about 4 hours at a time. Only other thing is that it feels like something is stuck although all I have had is liquids. I know this is just part of the healthy process, it just isn't a cake walk.

I just had lapband surgery with plication on Thursday and I feel pretty awful! The first day I got home, I threw up 6 times, yesterday was 2 and today I've only gagged a couple of times.

I have only managed to keep down about 1/2 of a sugar free Popsicle and small sips of Water.

Hang in there. I had the band and plicationn and was pretty miserable. Days 2 and 3 were the hardest for me and it gradually started improving By day 6, I felt like I was seeing normal again.

Thank you for giving me hope that it will get better, it actually is already! Thank goodness, I went to a little church service tonight and managed to sit there about an hour. By the time we were leaving, I begged my mom to get me home ASAP to the suppositories for nausea. I would also like to say that I'm much happier being at home than in a hospital, the way I moan and groan and twist sometimes would be embarrassing! lol

Day 5 post op. My pain meds are still important to me. I went out to the drug store today and walked around. The walking helps my gas. Keep up the good work
