Today feeling better not 100% but my incision looks horrible and I clean it twice a day ugh. I have to take meds 3x's a day so that means I have to eat something that will sit well so it won't upset my stomach. This morning I had a cup of oatmeal and then took my meds for the next 3 hrs after that I felt really bad. Like a stuck feeling and then my throat felt like there was something in it. I kept drinking but it wouldn't go down finally relief came around 11 but I was scared to take my something after that anyone else have this feeling before????

Thats awesome CONGRATS!!! Keep it up!!!

I see alot of ppl are on there Im going to check it out. Got my meds they are huge I thought surely they want me to break it open so I did BIG MISTAKE they tasted horrible. But hopefully I start to feel better soon....

Ok so I called my dr office he's out of the office all week however the nurse called in an antibiotic for me and told me to clean twice a day with hydrogen peroixde and cover with gauze. Thank you ladies for the advice hopefully it will get better fast Im due for my 1st fill on 4-20...Hope you guys are having a great day....

Good luck tomorrow!!!!

Ok just curious what is My fitness pal?

Congrats thats awesome! Sometimes we dnt really realize how much will power we really have. Ppl noticing and asking questions it's only going to get better. Keep up the great work....

Thats awesome keep it up! Congrats on the smaller size. Im only 17 days post op and I feel my clothes starting to loosen up a bit and it's such a great feeling. I know what you mean about the protien Im on my mushy stage now and sometimes I will drink a protein shake instead of eating. Well good luck with your journey...

Ok out of the shower and cleaned the incision really good with saline wash and put neosporin w/ pain on it and I also took my pain med from my surgery it's much better now. Im calling the dr 1st thing in the morning. Im in Houston,Texas Tray

I think i might just sleep with an ice pack on it....

Hey Tray i tried the ice it gave me relief until i took it off I already took some meds that had tylenol in it for my sinus headache and no Im not diabetic. Well they have an answering service that will connect me with my dr cell phone number but I don't want to call him for this it's not an emergency but it does hurt.

OK so my main incision is throbbing it hurts so bad kinda like week #1. I have been using neosporin. I can't bend and I can't lay on my stomach that Im not worried about i just want the pain to go away any suggestions?

Thanks Tray for the positive reinforcement....

The hardest part about the whole process is the 1st couple of weeks of liquids. But trust me once you get past the 1st week the 2nd week is a little more easier. Just have to keep your head in the game and eye on the prize(being your health). Your gonna gain and lose weight just don't dwell on it just dust yourself off and get back up and start a new day....

Hey Twin yeah the website acting crazy had me bummed out. I get on here everyday or every other day just to kinda check in or read up on stuff but its wouldn't let me do anything ugh. So glad it's back to norm now. Your lucky to be starting foods now I can't start mine for another week. The mushies have been going good for me I find myself not as hungry and I still drink 2 protein shakes everyday. I mainly stick to cottage cheese and yogurt and I have 1 cup instant mashed potatos that I take to work if I get hungry. But so far so good. Easter i kinda ate a little more becuz it was a holiday lol. But it was all mushy So as far as no weight gain no weight lost it's going to happen no worries there just keep doing what your doing it's going to come off. As far as workout I have a gazelle it's like a sking machine i guess it works your whole body and it's fun. I aslo have a treadmill but it's a manuel one so it's super had to do. My dr cleared me so light exercise just no kinda ab workouts. My incision where my port is the corner is kinda infected so I have been cleaning it and putting neosporin on it, it's starting to itch so im assuming it's healing. But other then that everything is goin ok.

Day 17 post op I have lost 22lbs since my pre op date on 3-20 will get my first fill on 4-20 a little nervous. All my incisions look great except for my larger incision the port side looks like it might be infected a little bit. I have been cleaning it and putting neosporin on it. Im going to start my exercise plan today it will be my 1st day to jump start it.

I hope everyone is doing well. Today was a good day spending time with family and I ate mashed potatos and gravy and sweet potato it was so good tomorrow going to start a work out....

My down fall Im not working out yet although I walk im not doing anything to get my heart rate going. Im just still a little uneasy about bending and moving fast. I was going to start my workout with the xbox 360 but my son decided to run his trucks over it and scratched it pretty bad so I have to get a new one. My dr told me no tummy exercises for 6 weeks which makes sense. Im just hoping for the scales sake she's in a better mood tomorrow morning. With the weigth gain im nervous to start mushies friday I just dnt knwo what to do. Hey Twin thats great thaty your getting so full off of a few bites. How is your back feeling? Hey I have an idea when we all get to our goal weight we should all plan a trip together....Since we are all banded together and in it together lol Im such a dork....

OK so today not so good...IM SCALE OBSESSED I didn't want to become this way it just happened. I weight when i get up and at night ugh I woke up today only for that b*tch to tell me that I have gained 2lbs r u kidding me. Im on liquids how could this happen? So I call my sister( much much smaller sister) for some support and to talk me off the ledge. She tried to tell me everything and then she said something that made sense to me she said maybe your retaining water??? Way to go sis! I will take it!

Congrats on getting banded tomorrow please keep us posted your going to do great!!! Earlier you go in the earlier you go home!!!

OMG TWIN CONGRATS ON YOUR 3LBS LOST!!!!! Thats awesome!!! I can start mushy's on Friday already marked it on my calendar lol. Although I went for my 1 week post op on 3-30 and they did the xray and everything looked good and the incisions looked good he told me I could start eating chunky Soup with meat or chicken which i was confused y not start mushys but whatev i started eating cottage cheese and still drinking Protein Shakes and shots it's going well. I scheduled my 1st fill for 4-20 im a little nervous too. I dnt know what Im going to feel and not feel. Then the shot in the tummy not looking forward to but it will be ok. As far as anything else like feeling sick or incisions hurting everything is ok I starting to feel myself again but with more energy a nd I love it. Funny thing is I dnt cook but everyday when I come home Im in the kitchen cooking something up and I can't even eat it which is fine I just make a Protein shake and Im fine. But b4 surgery when I came home I was always so lazy and just wanted to sit now Im up playing basketball with my son and enjoying having more energy already. I get so excited now thinking about my future and all the weight Im going to lose!!!!! Keep it up everybody!!!!

Hey Dee congrats on getting banded!!! Your are going to have pain and discomfort the 1st few days due to them cutting your stomach muscles and pumping you up with gas. Try propping yourself up with 5 or 6 pillows behind you and taking your pain meds. Also take some gasx it helps trust me. When you need to get out of bed roll out slowly dnt try and just sit right up. Another thing trying walking like every hour just a little bit. I had the same feeling like I was going to bust a stitch but trust me when I say this each day it gets better....Good luck hope it helps

OK day was 10 day post op for me and the 1st day back at work. It went really well prepared my protein shakes the night b4 and everything was good but mid-way through the day my larger incision started to become painful and a burning sensation. I just figured I was doing to much so I tried to take it easy after that but is this normal has any1 else had this problem???
