I am having the same issue - cannot update profile information, status, etc... Any answers yet?

Hi there! I am in the same boat except I cannot figure out if I am hungry or feeling weird pains from surgery. I was banded on 8/4 and have felt pretty well overall (except for some terrible gas pains) - but not sure what hungry feels like anymore. Any good recipes for puree/mushy food that you have found? I am looking around for something different just to jazz it up! I added 2 tsp of Peanut Butter to my choc Protein shake w/ice this morning & that was yummy... Just looking forward to texture and something that isn't so sweet. Best of luck to you!

Bless you for all you have been through! You certainly have had an unbelievable road to this point. I think that you have been given good advice - follow your heart and communicate with your husband. Together you will weigh your options & information and make the best decision for you. Your guilt seems very normal - although please don't let it make your decisions for you. We all have a story and we all got here by making other things a priority and not ourselves... Take care of you - it's your time... You are in my prayers!

Hey there... I was banded on 8/4 and was also outpatient - but my first day home was crazy. I was sleeping most of it - and in a haze all day. I had a couple great days with just my port site really sore, but the rest (I have 6 incisions) doing really well. Today (day 5) I really felt the gas pain - under my sternum & rib cage mostly! It was crazy pain! I have gone through all my liquid pain meds and the doc on call told me to crush tylenol/advil and eat it with applesauce or yogurt - YUCK! That made me sick! So I am looking forward to seeing my doc on Wednesday! I read a bunch - and folks say heating pad, hot shower, and walking to help with the gas - but that it will pass! Anyway - I hope tomorrow is better! Take care!

Oh thank goodness - I was banded 8/4 and felt pretty good until today... My port site is pretty sore - but the gas that has settled under my sternum is killing me! I have walked and that doubled me over crying, I have tried a shower - some relief, and I have curled up backwards over the arm of my couch to stretch out - and that helped some... I am really hurting and wondering if I did the right thing. I took 3 years to make this decision with my doctor & husband supporting me - but I am so uncomfortable. Thank you all for posting that it will pass - you might just be what gets me through this!
