February 6th Bandsters

MisterBogart · February 9, 2009

Hello everyone,

I had my surgery on Friday, Feb. 6. I have felt pretty bad for the last couple of days, made the mistake of thinking I could do it without my prescription pain meds, and just Tylenol. I got the prescription this morning and feel a LOT better tonight.

Lots of trouble with gas pains after every liquid meal, and even while sipping Water. So far I am doing the Gas-X thing and it seems to work some. I am worried I am not going to be able to eat very many calories at all during this phase if the gas doesn't stop. So far today I have only managed about 600 calories. I might try to drink some Protein before bed.

I hope everyone is doing well. We are gonna make it through this first part and then cruise. :thumbdown: Think happy thoughts!

I was banded Friday! I am happy I did it. Still in some pain around the port incision, but really feeling better than I thought. I have been trying to walk more to get the gas moving around, but all in all it went well. I am trying hard to keep up on my liquids, but I feel full all the time, so its hard. I get to move to full liquids today, so I am excited about that. Hope everyone else is feeling well!
