I am 2 weeks post op and haven't noticed any breathe issues, but I have noticed that (sorry tmi) my bowl movements and urin have a different not pleasent smell. Have u had any issues with that?

You are a trooper! I wish that I felt 100%

I am sure it is just in extreme cases but if you already experience reflux or IBS ( like I do), it might be best to stay away from it.

Just wondering how long it took for the lap-banders to go back to work? My dr said that I only needed to take off a week so I did and tried going back to work today (post-op 7 days) and I only made it 2 hrs until I felt like I was going to pass out from exhaustion. I am on my feet for 9-10 hrs with only 30 min break. Just wondering how everyone else felt.

My surgeon said no caffeine because it could cause ulcers, and having wieght loss surgery we are already at risk for them.

Thank you alot for responding. I will just stay with liquids until my next appointment.

Am post op 5 days and I tried eating one oz of cottage cheese last night and with in mins I started getting sever pains right below my left rib. I almost fainted and was really nauseous. Today I tried again but a smaller amount and slower and still same result. Any ideas how I can intake mushiness but not feel this way?

I was told as long as the pill is the size of a pincel eraser than you can swollow it. But also be careful about crushing up pills because you can't crush up slow release pills.

Every time I get up and move I get up and move around I get extremely nauseous. Does anyone else feels this, and if so what is helping you?
