Thanks Goodness, I'm Day 5 post-op and I think I was hit by a truck! LOL Not really getting better by the day biggest complaint is the sore abdomen and it's not too sore today. I'm a bit more hungry but the liquid shakes seem to knock the hunger out. Thursday I can add the mushies! I can't wait!

I was banded on Thursday and I'm getting better every day. I've probably only had 1 whole protein shake since surgery and I know I have to get nutrients in so I can gain more strength. Thankfully I've not been hungry and I'm really afraid of hunger setting in. Still debating on whether or not to go to work on tomorrow. I'm going to have to take it day by day.

I had a hernia repair along with my band on Thursday. Getting better, not too much trouble with gas. My biggest problem is a sore abdomen but even that's getting better.

You're still healing exhaustion is probably normal. The best thing so far is that I AM getting rest. I would normally be running around like the energizer bunny never getting enough rest. Rest up, you'll get your strength back soon.

Sounds like everything is going well. I've not eaten since Thursday but I'll definitely try and get some Protein shake in today. Not very hungry but making sure I get my water in. I did have a little cranberry juice and water this morning and that felt good. Yesterday I felt awful but today I can tell I'm doing much better. Can't wait to be 1 month post op!!

I had my surgery on Thursday, August 23rd. OMG yesterday I had so many regrets the most pain was in my abdomen and I did have some mild vomitting, but I took the suppositories to inhibit vomitting and I've not had any more vomitting issues. I finally took some of my liquid hydrocodone and it has relieved the pain in my abdomen. Feeling much better than yesterday and probably will be much better tomorrow. Hang in there it does get better, I even passed a little gas! LOL

I'm on the 3rd day post op, my biggest complaint is my really sore throat and sore tummy. I just started using the breathing machine. I'll be sure to do this hourly I don't want to have pneumonia set in. i can't wait to be two weeks post op. I feel really bad, I'll get my butt moving again today. I've had a little gas pass maybe I can get more out today.

Good luck to you and wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm being banded tomorrow and YES having all type of emotional issues. Am I doing the right thing? I know this is normal so I will ignore my misgivings and concentrate on getting fine as wine for my next vacation! Size 6 I'm coming for you!!!! Being able to maybe run a 12 minute mile, you bet!

You were banded less than a week ago, you're probably swelling. I wouldn't expect any loss this soon. Your body needs to heal.

I'm on day 9 of the pre-op liquid diet and I have horrible stomach cramping and gas that can't be released! I don't drink that much milk and 9 days of mixing skim milk to these damn shakes has finally gotten to me. I'm hitting the treadmill as soon as I get home to see if I can't get this dang gas off my stomach. Ugh, come on Thursday get here before the pre-op diet starves and kills me! LOL

I love the Unjury it mixes well. I've had the Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry. Vanilla is my favorite since I'm able to mix it with so many fruits. I've only had it with skim milk though, after my surgery on Thursday I'll have to mix it with water only for one week. I hope it doesn't taste too bad with only water!. I can't wait to get this done, counting down two more days! Also work is getting MUCH better. LOL

Try the Goya pureed fruits. I added passion fruit and blueberry to mine this morning. Yum!!

Got to remember to pick up the Hibicleanse today! Lord let it get here, I was almost so hungry I was thinking of re-scheduling but there is no way I'll do this pre-op diet again. I have to press on! Two more days, woo hoo!!

Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!

Good luck to you, my journey begins Thursday, August 23rd and I feel so stressed! Work is super busy and I have a new person starting today and too many folk out on vacation! LOL I know it's just nerves, I'm going to relax and look forward to Thursday. All will be well!

I don't blame you. You paid good money there is nothing wrong with the band and now that he has your funds he won't give you a fill and most likely because he doesn't know HOW to give you a proper fill. Inexperienced and got into this field to take the money and run. There are lots of doctors who will take you on, just keep looking.

Way to go!! Keep up the good work!! I'm day 3 of my pre-op diet, surgery on August 23rd. First two days no worries, not too hungry today OMG! I did exercise this morning so my body just may need a little more energy. I'll have to do a 2 pm shake today. I can't wait until next Thursday!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Good luck and a speedy recovery!!

Day 2 of my liquid diet and I just returned from a 7 day cruise on Sunday! Yesterday was not too bad and I was pleased to have lost 1 lb since yesterday probably all water since we went overboard with the cruise eating last week. Surgery is next Thursday, super excited!!

You are in my thoughts and prayers! All will be well, wishing you a speedy recovery!

20 lbs in two months is AWESOME, you went on vacation and only gained 1.5 lbs! You are a ROCKSTAR! Be patient you'll get your first fill and really start kicking butt! Keep the good work!

Get some body armour, it's like roll on deordarant but it's for runners to keep you from chafing, also always wear self wicking fabrics. You can find Body Armour at a running store, academy or order it online at Amazon. About $12 bucks, it's a life saver and it'll keep you from developing bleeding nipples when you go on longer runs. Women don't get the chafing nipples because of the sports bras. Good luck and happy running!

Shake up your exercise, our bodies are smart sneaky little devils and they learn to adapt. Add 2-3 days of an exercise you don't currently do. You'll probably see some movement in 3-4 weeks.
