5 Days post op

Alrighty today is day 5 going on day 6 post op and I am feeling great I have lost a toatl of 20 pounds since I started my clear liquid diet pre op, 263 looks amazing I am so motivated! My mom who wasnt to supportive of the whole LaBand has even made some good remarks about how you can see the weight loss. I still get up shower and go run errands but i dont feel like doing my hair and make up just yet. Today I also got my 1 year old back and wow she is more of a handful then I remember!!! The weather here sucks it is getting up to 114 and i cant go outside without feeling horrible!!! I have been eating soups not the super healthy ones, but potato and brocli w cheese soup and I take maybe 5 bites at the most and im full! I also eat tons of sugar free popsicles just for the flavor! I can feel my food going through my port and sometimes if i swallow to fast or drink to fast I have a small sharp pain in my chest but it only takes a few seconds to go away. i have also had a couple of crackers i chewed chewed chewed and they went down fine, all the soups and water have my stomache on edge and I just needed something heavier to help me feel better.<- there I go making an excuse as to why I ate something bad! Anyways As for soreness I am a little tender ive been lifting my baby and chasing her with no problem. Like I said before I have a goal in mind and no pain will stop me!!!!

Thank you for for this! I am getting the band placed tomorrow,,,very excited/nervous! This clear liquid diet is REALLY tough. Did you have 2 weeks liquid diet prior to surgery? I had 2 weeks opti-fast diet, now I have 2 days clear liquid before surgery.(and 2 days after). I can't remember what it felt like to chew! I have lost about 8 lbs though..So happy to hear all is well with you..was there much pain right after surgery? or nausea?

I was on clear liquid diet for 2 weeks but cheated a couple time during the first week. And the surgery isnt bad at all, I woke up and felt like I couldnt breathe but they gave me meds and oxygen and I was fine. You just feel sore, you have to get up and walk walk walk! Thats all I did and yes you will feel nausea but its not bad either, I had gotten my galbladder out in Oct 2010 and that surgery and post op was horrible I couldnt move! But I was sleeping on my stomach day of surgery. Good luck and congrats on your decision
