I'm feeling a LOT better today. Still some gas, but not bad. I'm sore at the incision site. Today was the first day I felt hungry. I still can't eat much and it's such a weird feeling. Ha! I haven't been able to drink 64 oz of fluid, but I'll try again tomorrow. How are you doing?

I still can't really eat. Also, I haven't had a BM but i havent been eating anything so im not surprised. I think if it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'll go get some miralax or something. I haven't had the nerve to step on the scale yet, but I am feeling a lot better. I'm taking Percocet, but I'm going to start taking Tylenol tomorrow because I need to drive.

It's totally normal to be nervous. I had the band with plication on Tuesday (5/29). I was nervous too. The recovery so far has been good. You can do this! Good luck.

Melinda- do you feel like the plication eliminated some of the bandster hell? How soon after surgery did you get your first fill?

I hate to admit it, but walking really helped. Even late at night I was doing laps in my apartment!

I totally hear you! It's very hard, but just keep thinking of why you're doing this and you won't binge.

Good luck! I hope you get approved

Are you guys finding a lot of restriction with the plication? I'm still too 'new' having banded plication on Tuesday, but I really can't eat anything. I assume this is normal for the first week or so?

Just saw a magazine article that said she went from a size 20 to a 14. So, I guess she seems to be doing well so far.

Hi. I was banded may 29. How are you feeling?

Best wishes Hoosier. I hope all goes well!

Good luck! We'll be thinking of you!

Liquids and mushies and basically soft foods for a month while the stomach heals. I'm stocked up on soups and yogurt and ice pops! I dont want to jinx it, but I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Hi guys. I'm just checking in. I had banded plication yesterday. Woohoo. I'm sore and have some gas, but it's not bad. I'm on liquids and puréed for a month.

Ouch. I can imagine that hurts! Glad you're doing well!

On my way home from the hospital. Percocet and gas x are working wonders. Thanks all for the support. So glad to have you guys!

Btan, how did you do? We're officially banded! Can't believe it. I'm still in the hospital, and will be discharged around noon. Hope you're doing well.

Congrats bama! Im still in the hospital. Everything went well. Pain is manageable. I'm super sleepy, but they're getting me up to walk evey 2 hours. More later!

Me too. I have gummy multivitamin and chewable Calcium.

On my way to hospital! OMG

I'm right with you, bama. I'm mostly packed, about to go to bed (I'm starving!) I'm getting picked up at 5am to go to the hospital. So, I'm getting up at 4 to do the special surgical cleanser, etc. Bama- we can do it! Post to let us know how it goes.

Good luck Julie. Just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this. It's hard, but you can do it!

Good luck! I'm tomorrow too. I can't believe it.
