mk.i woke up with my mouth tasting like sugar lol...i think I'm getting there as well...lets see what this day brings

Day 4 Got banded on the 21st.so far so good. Only painbi have is the gas coming and going.port incision does hurt and neck is stiff but fully controllable with medication and warm Patches Day 3 I just took Protein drinks (not shake) andtook 90 grms of protein. Tons of Water and Jello. day four I will start the shakes as my main "intake"..i ve been taking the pain medicine which gives me super weird dreams lol . So far everything is good.justv pretty much I can't wait to not feel bloated all day lol.will report back

I think before attacking your weight thru surgery you need to give particular attention to your depression/mental illness. That can be the back bone of your weight issue.most insurance require a psychological evaluation as well. Start going to the support groups and read thru this forums.theres an area that is only for help. Best of luck!

Great information!! Congrats!

Congrats.I'm on day 3. To fight the gas pain walk walk walk! keep hydrated..really important to do so. Stick to your docs orders.this will ensure quick healing. Listen to your body Enjoy the new life.I'm here for any question you may have from my experience you will do great!

Thank you luna! I'm drinking about 3 liters of water a day.staying hydrated ba does the trick.I've always been a water drinker thanks god so it's easy for me to have a lot of it. gas pain comes and go..doc says I'm healing super good.lets keep it up.!

Day.3 Yesterday night was a little rough.had some weird dreams but finally got to sleep qwerty around 3 ask with the help of the elixir,a heat.patch and a massage on my shoulder. Went to see my nurse today.she says I'm healing pretty good and the shortmness of breath is most likely due gas and my anxiety. I'm back home gonna rest some more and keep doing my walks

Thank you dave..it's the pressure that annoys me.i had no nausea whatsoever.i hope it goes away sooner than later

You need to get rid of this thinking in order to successed.positive thinking willshow you the right way.

Dave actually after surgery and all I was walking around at the hospital for a long time. I actually went to bed at 530 in the morning due discomfort... Feels like gas sometimes but sometimes it just feels like pain and then I suffer from a little anxiety so that makes it even worse. I just cut chicken broth and also I had my Protein drinks. I'm not gonna lie my stomach looks bloated lol.haven't lay down at all today either as I want to walk this pain off

I'm not hungry at all..just had some chicken broth.food limitations so far haven't been an issue....I'm sure it's gonna change in a couple days

Sored, a little scared but alive.the discomfort will go away I hope

Hey guys, Just got banded but would like/ need someone to tell my fears issues and goals if anyone is interested shoot me a pm Thanks!

Reporting back Got home was doing ok but then started having some friend brought me some gas x . Downed 4 strips and called my doctor. Nurse told me I needed to take some Protein.so I'm on my second little 15 gms Protein Drink..feeling some pain.took my loratab elixir.....hopefully it'll make me feel better. Also I didn't have shoulder pain until today like 1 hr ago...and I thought I was gonna be a lucky one. Gonna try to lay d down even tho standing up feels better. So all of this is normal right?

its normal to be a little scared I was terrified lol but its gonna be okay . I'm having sore pain..now finally home drinking Water and had the loratab elixir but still hurts I'm hoping pain will be over witHin a week .

I just got banded...you are more than welcome to ask me anything
