Well I am 3 days post op and am feel fantastic. I can't believe how good I feel. The only real pain I am having is the shoulder gas pain. But it isnt' TO bad. The only time it happens is when I eat. Afterward I just lay down and put a heating pad on it and it usually goes away. I didn't get any strips on my insisions. Just glued shut. LOL I am going to take pics later. I did 2 days of Clear Liquids and now the doc says I can start mushies. I have been walking and have even been shopping... LOL Anyway, just wanted to give everyone an update....

3 days out: the only thing that bothers me is the port site. I am sticking to the diet, and have had no problems. I only take a few ibuprofen at night, so everything can rest. I hope everyone has sucess with the lapband.

I would ask your doc but my doc told me NO ibuprofen!! It makes the blood thinner and harder to heal....

That's terrific! I'd like to say I'm doing as well. I had a H Hernia operation on top of the lap bad. It has set me back a bit. I can not take the pain meds, they knock me out and I wake up with an explosive headache! My family has been taking care of my 2 boys, I don't know what I would have done without them. I had to stay in the hospital and extra day and boy was I glad! I could never have done it without the help of my husband and family. I have gotten to the point I wish I never would have had it done!!!!

I have a liquid diet until I see the doctor on Wed. and then I can start Phase II of the diet, which is adding Protein shakes, yougart etc.

I hope you continue to do well, shopping and all!! LOL : )
