Congrats, keep up the great work. I had my 2 wk post op apt today and lost 25lbs in total so far. So motivated.

I am on day 11 as well, and this pain started about day 8. does it hurt when you take deep breaths? It hurts me when I do. I am wondering if i am just over doing it with walking or what.

Was banded 10 days ago and was doing amazingly well. Not much pain at all and no nausea woohoo! I mean I had gas pain but in the lower left part of the stomach. I've been walking quite a lot but in the past 2 days I have a lot of pain where the port is located. When I take deep breaths or yawn it hurts. Did I overdo it? (have to admit I walked more than 2hrs yesterday slowly but still) Anyone have that sort of pain or still do? Also as per doc's orders I started eating scrambled eggs this morning.....well I realized that I really have to think when I eat now. I got my first stuck. Holy moly! Couldn't even talk. I was a fast eater and never really chewed (mmmm maybe the reason I got to where I required banded....ya think!? lol). Lesson learned.

I am 6 days post surgery now, and honestly I am having trouble drinking or even starting my mushies as directed by my doc. I take a sip of water and feel bloated. I walk a lot, actually am very mobile. I don't get it. Yesterday I felt so bad only water would go in (and not that much). I have no other pain whatsoever, but this bloating is getting concerned. Will I ever be able to eat something?? lol I still have energy, but don't know how long that will last without food or protein. anyone else have that problem?

I have not pre existing clothing issues, but I am on Lovenox shots for the 2 weeks following my procedure. I never had an embolism or any serious issues of the sort. I think as a precaution my surgeon prescribes it to all his patients. I just dislike giving myself shots. the worse.

my doc said 3cc. As I had never read about this being done before, I was a little concerned. thanks to all for you responses. I am really dozing off and on right now.

Today is the day of the beginning of my new life. I was banded today and in all honesty apart from the pain in the port area and just below, which I am thinking is gas, I am not in pain. I have been walking around a bit while I am up, no problem there and drinking/sipping my h20. I have a question though, my surgeon told me that he already filled me. HUH? Since I was half out of it when he told me I wanted to question him about it, but then he was gone. Asked the nurse and she did confirm with me that they had filled me. Has anyone heard of this before or had it happen to them? I am to be on full liquid for the next 2 weeks.

keep in touch, let me know how you are holding up!

OH my, just got the call. I am having my surgery tomorrow morning 10am. Sick of pre-op shakes, but my clothes are now loose on me, so that's a great perk. So excited, but not looking forward to the pain. good luck to all having theirs in day/weeks to come!
