Hello friends i am 3 days post op and i have never experienced so much pain in all my life. Apparently the C02 they pump in you during surgery can cause some serious pain. I have an issue with pain killers, they make me sick to my stomach so I can only take the really weak stuff by mouth. I have tried moving around and what not but with these weak meds it makes it really hard. I am finally passing some of the gas today, but when it feels like i have to burp, i hiccup instead? is that normal? also I would like to take a shower today, any suggestions on how to do this without irritating my incisions?

i had 2 ensure shakes today and some yogurt... bawls i am still hungry LOL i may try mashed potatoes tonight

Alrighty, I am 3 days post-op and yesterday was juice, broth, water and jello. Today I advanced to protein shake, like i had strawberry ensure, jello, cream of potato soup (strained so no chunks) and some carnation instant breakfast. I just cant seem to get full!!!! And my stomach just keeps growling and growling, I am trying my hardest not to eat anything bad, just sticking to my liquids but I just dont understand why I am so hungry!

Even before the band i am absolutely in love with Ensure shakes, but only the vanillla and strawberry ones. I highly recommend them!! I have been doing chicken broth, blue Jello, Water, apple juice and ensure. I do not feel hungry at all (at least i think i dont, too much goin on down there i think!) so i just take it easy but try those! and the apple juice i get is Simply Apple, it contains no water and no concentrate, its just pure pressed apple juice and its amazing!

I have liquid roxicet that I take at night which helps me when i sleep, but it makes me pretty loopy. It is the only thing out of all the stuff we tried at the hospital that makes me the least sick. Husband also just came home with childrens tylenol and it TASTES AMAZING!? lol its goopy liquid grape but it tastes soooo gooood hahaha who knew? Anyway this stuff seems to take the edge off a little bit. I'm going to attempt to take a shower here in a couple hours and we will see how that goes!

I was very recently banded, OCTOBER 25TH! I am struggling with pain and what not right now.... and dang i want a shower! LOL and yes... my signature is a T-rex running through a field of mushrooms....its so epic LOL!

also, i keep getting rumbling in my stomach like im hungry, but it kinda hurts? I cant tell if im hungry or if its just the co2 gas moving around? i dont necessarily feel hungry. Ive been eating my usual broth, jello and today i had an ensure to try to get some nutrition in me.

ladies ladies ladies!!! I am now following ALL OF YOU!! I will pop in every now and again to see how you are doing!! GUESS WHAT!!1?!!?!? i get my band on tuesday...yup october 25th!! excited!! now...im going to go eat some pizza

No really, you dont have to. Hi i'm new to the forums and I should hopefully be getting my lap band surgery at the end of august. I just started a new blog about my past, present and the process that I have had to go through to even get approved for the surgery. I could really use your guys support so please please come to my blog and check up on me to make sure they are still feeding me http://shutthebitchupwithchocolate.blogspot.com
