I am not sure why he did that but for me it was such a great move. I wasn't thinking about anything and prior to all this I was taking ibuprofen for bilateral knee pain. Having that coupled with abdominal pain would have been a mess. From that front I feel great.

My doctor placed a Fentanyl patch for pain which stays on for 3 days. I gave pain medication but have not had to take it. I get up to go yo the bathroom but that is about all the strength I have. Trying to drink a little every hour but don't wAnt to drink too much and get nauseous. Perhaps because I also had a hernia repair is why I feel so bad.

I am 2 days post op and feel like crap. I get out of bed to go to the bathroom but that is it. I need some strength. Any advice?

Do not put that on your daughter and potentially have a disaster. Call your doctor. They will work with you.

What should I be expecting? I feel weak? I hope I did not write this twice as all I can do is sleep. Is something wrong? Or is this normal.

Today is day 2 post op. feeling tired and a but nauseated at times. Just trying to understand that I really did this. My life will forever be changed. I hope this washed out feeling will go away soon.

Surgery was done. I am a bit sore. I have been feeling nauseous throughout the night. I did get out of bed last night. I know it will get better. Waiting to go for a swallow test. Thank you all for your prayers.

Today is the day....I move to the other side of this discuss.

Good luck. I am tomorrow as well. Please let me know how you go.

Finally I am going for surgery. It seems like it has been a long haul but I have finally arrived at my date. Please say a prayer! I have to be hat the hospital at 6am. I am the first case.

I have family members who have the sleeve and others have the lap band. As they stress, this is just a tool. There are very good weight loss from the lap band as from the sleeve.

Sorry I was writing so fast and forgot to say I am Monday. I am so excited as I feel I am walking into my new life!

Congrats to you and all those banded today. I cannot wait! I am Monday.

I am set! I got my time for surgery. I am the first case. My report at 6am. I am so excited.

I was just wondering if anyone had any physical problems after banding and did you have to wait any particular time after surgery.

I think is is great to read success anywhere. I am getting banded on Monday September 24 and it is these successes that makes me know I am doing the right thing.

I also think it is harder because of the hunger pangs of a normal sized stomach. I have had a headache for the 3 days I have been on this quest. I pray it is better once my stomach can only hold a small amount.

I like what you sad. I think we are put on the diet, aside from shrinking the liver, just to kick start the diet process. I do not think perfection is expected. Do not beat yourself up.

I was told no carbonated drinks.

As a nurse working in home care and having started the liquid diet I have decided to take 2 weeks off so that I can get past the liquid stuff.

I know. I am on day 3 and feel sick. I just need to get through this. I had started exercising and am wearing a size smaller dress so I am going to fight through. I am still trying to get a really good shake.

It took me 3 days. They only approve for a " less than 23 hour" stay.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am having a hard time. Could you please recommend the shakes that got you through?
