pain and uncomfortable
Mariana replied to kittykat123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/13/10 and I felt horrible the day I came home. The next day, the anesthesia wore off and my head felt better, but my chest and belly hurt more. I feel like I need to Burp and this pressure builds up in my chest but it stays there and it hurts. But then it slowly subsides, then a while later it happens again. I just took some liquid pain meds and its not as bad. I'm trying not to take the meds a lot and trying to walk around. I hate the pain.... -
Welcome to the band world! I pray everything went well for you yesterday during your surgery. Please take things slow and follow the instructions from your doctor. It will take some time for you to learn your band and what works for your body. It's been almost 4 months now and I am starting to feel comfortable with my food choices and workout routine(s). Some many people really don't like to hear this but you must find some type of work out routine that is comfortable for you in order to achieve good weight lost. Whenever I stop working out my weight lost stop, but when I work out things really pick up. Please keep me in touch with how things are going for you.

The type of diet you are on was the diet I was given after surgery. I was on 2 weeks of liquids, sugar free drinks and so on. The main purpose for the post op diet is to shrink down your liver for your surgery. Just focus on the big picture and why you really want to be banded. Good luck, trust God and everything will work out just fine. page 2

Congrats on your up coming surgery. My post diet was a little different. I was not restricted to only liquids for 2 weeks before my surgery. There was a list of foods that I had to eat from. I was not allowed to eat sugar, white flour and only whole wheat products. I could not eat fruits that were high in sugar or carbs. I could only drink sugar free items and limited fruit juices. I was not allowed to eat fried meats only lean cut meats or fish. I could eat low starched veggies and almost anything thing green and leafy. It was okay for me to eat dark chocolate which I love. I was encouraged to drink lots of water, protein water, and anything sugar free even sodas which I don’t drink. page 1

Hello Donna Niemi :-) I am being banded on 11-17! I am sooo excited but nervous too! I want to make friends here so that we can be able to support each other! I am sure we will need people who understand our trials and this is the perfect place! My Dr. is Dr. Bass in Naples FL! -
Hello Shonette :-) I have not been banded yet. I belive my appointment is for Nov 17 or 19...... next month! yikes! Thank you for befriending me. I know I'll have questions on things that will go on regarding the lap band. so its comforting to know that there are people like yourself who can offer advice!

How are you doing? Thanks so much for the friend request! It's always nice to meet new people who have some of the same experiences and dreams with a new way of life as I do. Have you been band yet or are you going through the process? If there is anything I can do to assist or support you, please feel free to let me know. Let me know how things are going.
