Ok so day 3 of post-op not so bad still really sore. I was planning on going back to work tomorrow but I decided not to rush it. I have a hard time sitting for to long get gas pains in my back. However today I had soupy cream of wheat it was so yummy and it hit the spot. But still getting up and moving around. Im starting to go crazy being stuck in the house but im not ready to venture out yet. So how is everyone else doing???

Well congrats on your up coming surgery!!!!!! My sister will be getting the sleeve in June and she was saying it's still far away. But it will be here b4 you know it!

Well I was planning on going back to work on Tuesday but now im not so sure. Im still relying on my pain meds and taking stuff slow. Im going to try cream of wheat (soupy) tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Today i started to get dizzy if i stood for to long i would get lightheaded. Im just assuming that it's because Im hungry so I will have some ice chips and lay down. Hoping tomorrow will be better for me.

Well congrats to you! Im still really sore and I have a hard time doing stuff like bending and sitting for long periods of time. Im hoping each day it gets better. Im not going to lie I would kill for something to eat right now. And I just had a Protein shake. I wish I could put something in my Protein Shake.. Oh well keep me posted on your recovery Band Twin!!!!!!

I was banded on March 23rd everything went good dr even removed my gall bladder due to it being inflamed. Im still really sore and having to rely on my meds like clock work. Im living off of sugar freen jello and ice chips and pure protein vanilla shakes. Sometimes im not feeling hungry at all but other times my stomach is growling and im so hungry thats when i drink a shake. Im wondering if it's going to take me a little longer to recover since he removed the gall bladder. Gas hasn't been a big big issue but whenever I feel discomfort I chew some gas x. But im still having trouble getting in and out of bed and sleeping on my back not a happy camper about that. I tried sleeping on my side it just was more uncomfortable for me. But Im walking alot and having no problem doing it. Im going to attempt to take a real shower tonight so I hope i don't get anything to wet. Missing food like crazy though. Hope everyone else is doing well. Oh yeah 16lbs lost so far. Operation get skinny and healthy in full effect!!!!!!!

So I got banded this morning and the dr also removed my galbladder he said it was inflamed. This was more painful then i was expecting but im dealing with it and taking my meds. I never knew someone could enjoy sucking on ice lol. Well I had the surgery around 1pm and stayed in hospital until 8pm just to make sure everything was ok. Im having no problems getting up and walking around and the gas hasn't been as intense as I was expecting. Thanks to you guys I stopped on the way home and got some gas-x and took it as soon as I got home. Liquid diet was horrible I was on it for only 1 day pre-op and now post-op 2weeks but I got a serious headache i guess from not eating. I don't want to get one of those again that was terrible. So im off to bed now just wanted to check in and keep you updated. Hope everyone else is doing great........

Im getting banded on March 23rd so super excited. This has been a long time coming... I started my process june2011 and saw dr in sept then on 6 month diet. This is going to be great for everyone. Operation get skinny and healthy in full effect!!! Congrats to us all!!!!

Getting banded Friday and Im still so confused on what kinda of powder drinks to have? My dr's office has some stuff but it's pretty expensive. What kinda od recipes does anyone have for post op when I can start eating food again? Also what vitamins are you taking they gave me a list and at my dr office they are $62 kinda pricey? Thank you for any help!!!!! Today is my last day to eat anyhthing I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Getting excited and nervous!!!!!!!

So pre-op went good and all registered. Surgery is friday not sure of the time yet they will call me thursday. I guess I didn't realize how much the post-op protien shakes would be. Does anybody have any good advice where to get good protien shakes at a reasonable price?

Sooooo excited this week is going to change my life. Getting ready to go in for my pre-op today and register at the hospital for friday. Anybody from Texas???
