What did your doc say about taking your pain medications? Seems to me that if you are in pain while trying to sleep, you should take some before you go bed. I did that last night and I was able to sleep!

Help! I was banded on 3/1 also and felt great until yesterday. I was helping my parents purchase a new TV at Best Buy and just standing around for a little while as discussions were had. By the time I left there, I could hardly stand up, my port area was sore again. Nothing happened, I didn't feel anything in particular until I realized I was having trouble standing straight up. This progressed throughout the day yesterday, until I actually had to take a pain pill in the middle of the night. Today it feels better than yesterday, but certainly not as good as before my shopping excursion and now I am afraid to be on my feet too much again. Has anyone else had a set back like this???

You are so lucky, I am ravished! Starving! I am eating yogurts and cottage cheese and low fat protein shakes. I feel like I could eat a steak, (slightly exaggerated, but not much!) I feel like I have no restriction at all. Other than that, physically I feel fine. I am bloated, my stomach looks like a basket ball, and I have occasional gas pain, but that is about it.

I also was banded on 3/1/12 and just joined the group. I am trying to remain very hopeful, although I am already quite distractingly hungry!!! You are so brave tackling this before your wedding in April. I wish you the very best in your recovery!
