Whats The Pain Scale 1-10


Guest Should Ann Band

Recommended Posts

I was banded on Monday and it hurt quite a bit!

Thank goodness for kind nurses and painkillers!

That said, the pain I feel today (Thursday) is so much less than yesterday or Tuesday - the body is amazing like that. It just doesn't remember pain!

I know that tomorrow will be even better and the benefits will be worth every 'ouch'!

I figure that if I can survive leg waxing, eyebrow plucking, period pain and a broken heart or two then this is a piece of cake!

I Haven't Had My Band Yet, And I'm A Little Scared, Too. But, I Had My First Son All-natural (defffinately A 10):D And My 2nd Son By C-section (another 10). I Stayed In The Hospital 2 Days After The C-section And Was On My Own Monday With My New Baby And 4year Old Since My Husband Had Just Gotten A New Job And Worked 12 Hour Night Shifts. That Was Not Fun But I Made It And Of Course It Was Worth It. So I'm Counting On The Band Surgery To Be A Breeze, But That Doesn't Mean I'm Not Scared! Good Luck!;-)

Don't worry, I'm a big baby, and it wasn't painful at all, believe me I know what pain is, I've given birth and had a c-section. It is uncomfortable, but not painful, I was sore in my right shoulder from the gas, but I was not in pain at all. I do understand where your coming from though, I am having a tt and some other ps prodedures and I'm not looking forward to being sliced from hip to hip. But I want it so bad that it will be worth the pain. I know I'll be crying like a baby regretting it on Monday night and probably the rest of the week, but it will be worth it. Well good luck and keep in touch. I'll be back in two weeks, talk to you soon.

      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.
