So, I had some soup and about 10 min later I burped and up came a little soup! No pain or anything. Guess I probably ate too fast. I really didn't but for the band I probably did. Thank god it didnt hurt! Ok, time to slow it down and not hurt my new baby, LOL

Wow, that's great marshawn!! I haven't lost any let but I know that normal because we are still swollen. I am not even getting on scale because as I heard many times before surgery this is our healing time, this is such a great site!! Love al the new people I met so far!!

Thank You ladies. Going to do this after I shower today. I normally lift up my stomach to dry under there. Maybe I haven't since surgery because I am sore. Thanks again for all the advice. I don't know what I would do without all this love and support!!!

Ok, so my stomach has been getting itchy. I Was also itchy where my c-section scar is. So, I Was scratching it and then I rubbed my nose and My finger smelled. I only scratched under my stomach where the cut/scar is. I have showered everyday since surgery so I am not dirty. I don't think this has anything Do do with the band. It's not even close to The cuts and holes they made. It looks like I have a few bumps on the scar. I have to go back to The ob but what the heck is up with that odor?! This is A first for me!

Jrsmith, how come you were in the hospital so long? I Was same day. Sorry to hear your not doing well. Can you explain your journey so far?

Awww, honey I pray everything is fine. I am sure once you call and get everything straightened out you will feel better. I do agree with everyone. Call your dr. They are used to getting calls from something minor to real emergencies. I Was only in excruciating pain the day of surgery. The meds at home keep me tolerating the pain. Please keep us posted on what happens. Hugs!!

Thank You patty girl and maddysgram! My nose stopped bleeding but now I am feeling so bloated. Ugh, It could be worse so I am really not complaining, LOL. I have been up and around house a lot today. I think I will do some more laps to get this stomach gas out. Question though, how do you know if your over doing it??

Oh ok, that makes sense!! I did have that in my nose for awhile even when I Was awake. Thanks jean!

Thank You for all your great advice!!! I just can't wait to start living the band life!!

Thank You pattygirl!!! Your such a sweetheart!!

I have a bloody nose. I never had one before. My mom said it could be dry from surgery. It's not draining blood but when I put a tissue in my nose it comes out with blood on it. Very weird? Thanks for any help!

Thank You both! I posted 2 pics but now I only see one pic up? The one that is up is the first night home. I am now way swollen. I feel better knowing its normal and ok! You guys are the best!! I love this site!! I still can't believe I actually have a lapband! I can't wait to start leading a new healthy life and of course lose weight and look great!! Right now my priority is My health then looks, LOL. Thank You again ladies!!

Thank You Er8 and mis73! Before I got banded I Was on here all the time to get as many tips as I could for right after surgery. Stool softner was one of them!

I made Greek yogurt, banana and a little peanut butter drink. So good!! How often can I sip on it. I really don't want to over do it. Thanks

Oh ok, I am on full liquids. Thankfully I don't feel horrible. Would be nice to go.

I got banded on Thursday the 25th. Today I thought I might have to go but didn't happen. I have been taking a stool softner. I don't feel badly constipated thank god. Sorry if tmi!

Keda, I love the sugar free " popsicles " brand. Yellow box and the tropical ones are awesome!!

Mrs Britt, 2 oz for 30 min? I wish they gave me better post op instructions. I have to see what my other papers say. Thank You though. I will definitely start doing that. How do you feel hon?
