1 Week Out

Hello all, Its officially been 1 week today since my surgery...and I went back to work today. I am a Kindergarten teacher, so I'm definitely taking it easy but these are the fun days before break when you do holdiay activities! Couldn't miss that. Though I'm glad to see my students, I am extremely exhausted. I'm finding that just raising my voice is wearing me out. The port site pain has defintiely subsided and my incisions aren't even bothering me. The only thing I still feel is a tighne

Sugar Free Forever? "taste-good" Sugar Free Choices, Prices And Reviews

I know pre-op the sugar free popsicles, puddings, liquids are to help shrink the liver in preparation for surgery. However, I was reading another post on here and someone was talking about sugar free yogurt. Yogurt is a post-op food, so that made me wonder, am I supposed to do sugar free foods forever? Obviously sugar is not great for a weight loss journey, and the sugar free foods I have had haven't tasted that bad, but I never really considered making my diet sugar free forever. Is this wha

Almost A Week Already???

I can't believe its been almost a week (5 days) since the procedure! The first few days were a little rough with pain but for the most part I'm doing great. The only true complaint I have at this point is still the pain in the shoulder. Apparently its because of the gas but I'm sick of it! Its so annoying and nothing seems to alleviate the pain. I've tried warm compresses (which works until the towel cools off) and my pain meds (which put me to sleep for exactly 1 hour and 40 min each time) a

Hard To "go"...anyone?

I was banded 2 days ago and since this I haven't had a BM. I feel very bloated like my tummy is all puffed up and I think it's contributing to my discomfort in my post op healing. I got a little worried when I searched for "constipation" and read some horror stories about some people still having these issues years down the road. I DESPERATELY hope this is just a phase as I'm transitioning back to real food. I've never had any issues and I've always been regular before this. I just don't lik

Where To Begin....3 Days Post Op I Guess

So I've been on the site again and again reading about other peoples journeys so I decided to create my own blog. I figure I'm going through it too so I might as well share my experience. I was banded on dec 13 at 730 and was in the car by 1010. It was so quick I couldn't believe it. The first day was probably the easiest for me so far. I actually was out for a few hours after surgery gettin my prescription and stocking up on liquids. I'm not sure if I felt great because of the walking around (s
