I'm having the same problem. I am almost 2 weeks out. My surgeon said that the gas pain can stick around for awhile. But it is killllllling me.

omgosh that is horrible! I am day 12 as well and I have been having THE WORST pain in my shoulder ever! I keep trying to walk, and it just kills me.

I'm still really sore, but a lot better then I've been all week. I'm actually starting to get shooting pains in my lower abdomen, which I know are gas pains.

It's been a week already?! Holy cow. Lots and lots of down time, and quite a bit of pain, but I'm finally feeling a lot better (and TMI, but A LOT better after my first BM last night lol). I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow, but I did weigh-in today..... I lost 7.2 lbs! In one week! SEVEN POINT TWO! craziness. That brings me to a total of 14 lbs, and only 56 more to go lol. I am not expecting a huge loss next week, but I am aiming for 1-2 lbs. Did anyone get to start mushies on week 2? I don't feel like I have any swelling around my band, and I am able to get all my Protein and Water in every day, so I am just hoping I can start on some semi-real food... and maybe start getting some Fiber back in to my diet ASAP lol. woo hoo!

Thanks everyone! I'm doing really well, just very very tired and a little sore. I step on the scale tomorrow for my week 1 weigh-in! I can't wait to see how I do!

I was banded on August 9 and I am just starting to get hungry for real food. I have no problem getting all of my Water and all of my Protein in. I have a feeling I'll be starting on mushies next week after I see the doctor for my post-op on friday. I've been living off of the

Hey everyone! I am looking for a few accountability partners. I was just banded on August 9, and I have just under 70 lbs to lose. I want to keep on track until I reach my goal! It would be really great if I could meet someone in the San Francisco area as well.

My 24th birthday was August 2, I was banded on August 9. I paid out of pocket for my surgery. So it was one big, very expensive, life changing birthday present. I want to make all of my birthdays in the future even happier and healthier then ever before.

Hey y'all! I'm Jessica. Guess I am a part of the class of August 2012 now! I was banded a few days ago, and still recovering. The day of my surgery was probably the most painful day of my life (just being honest here), but every day I get better and better. I honestly believe that this was the best decision I ever made. I have my own YouTube channel where I am tracking my whole journey. You should subscribe if you are interested! My username on there is the same, Jessicakesbanded

Oh yea, I forgot! I do weekly update videos on YouTube! My user name on there is the same, Jessicakesbanded! Please subscribe!

HI everyone! Just wanted to come on here and do a quick introduction. My name is Jessica, I just turned 24 years old. Live in the wonderful city of San Francisco. I am 5'2, and I've dealt with weight issues my whole life. I've also been yo-yo dieting for the past 10+ years. Even on the "smaller" side of WLS, I've still developed weight induced health issues. I truly am ready to take control of my life. I love my body and I love myself. I owe it to myself to be heathy. I was banded on Thursday August 9, 2012. The day of surgery was realllllly rough, but I had my wonderful boyfriend and my mom to take care of me. It is Saturday, and I am still in pain, but with every day, it gets better and better. My goal is lose 70 lbs. I am so happy and hopeful of my future!
