oh, one day post op. I had a lot of left upper shoulder pain. I could move around my house okay. I don't usually take pain meds but I did take the Lortab elixir several times for 2-3 days following my band. I was banded at 6am and home by 11am. The next day I was pooped!

3-4 hours post-op? I was sleeping

........gohs, if you are able to do this, more power to you and let me bow at your feet... but i would not have been able too. was groogy, tired, thirsty and in some pain (not alot but my belly def sore). if you do, go slow and be careful. ps, i love sea world too

I could not have done it one day post-op.

So are you saying that you have 4 hours until you have surgery that you want to go to Sea World? If thats the case I would say go and enjoy but make sure you leave enough time to check in and do pro-op procedures. Now if you want to go after you have the surgery I would not recommend it. I had my surgery at 2:00 in the afternoon and was up in my room around 4:00. I was wide awake but uncomfortable. I certainly did not feel like walking around that day. The next day I got up and walked around the hospital, showered and dressed. by the time my husband and I flew home I was exhausted and went straight to bed. I finally felt really good after a week and could do everything I normally did before the surgery. I struggled with my eating for about a week until I could put together a journal of what would go down what wouldn't. Scrambled eggs are horrible for me, so is rice and any type of pasta. So I pass on them completely. Please make sure you stay away from any type of bread. Man when that stuff gets stuck you are hurting until it passes. Its been 10 years since my lap band and I've been at the point for quite a few years that I no longer get fills and my weight has stayed steady for the past 6 years. I do exercise every day though!!

Started today. I actually feel like I'll be "eating" more healthily than I have in a long time-- with the protein shakes and forcing myself to get in enough water and not eating junk. I have energy today after my first shake and huge glass of water. So I think I'll resign myself, because it's going to happen anyway, that it's awesome and I love it. (Don't worry I'll be back to complain- lol)

Day 4 and 5 I cried most of the day. So many thoughts in my head of what did I do, where am I heading now and dang Im tired. Lasted about 3 days and seems to get better every day. I tried to get out and go somewhere or get sunshine when it got really bad. Someone on here suggested I rent a funny movie and open windows for sunshine and it did help and it will pass. I honestly didn't think it would. i'm 11 days out and if I sit too long, it creeps up on me still. So, I try to stay busy and active.

I start tomorrow. And am totally NOT looking forward to it. Ugh!

I know the feeling Kanda! I was working out religiously pre surgery but since having the surgery, and the two weeks off for recovery, I've been less than motivated. I'm going to work out tonight, I'll let you know if I've had any success in the motivation department.

Yes that day off in the middle of the week is brutal! I enjoyed the day, but holy crap it messes with the body clock. For some reason I kept thinking today was Friday. Now go work out before I crack the whip! WHHAAA PPISSSHHH!
