Hang in there honey! My first night was the worst. Pain meds are key. Walking too if you can. I had a panic attack in the hospital. So I totally understand. We are here for you sweetie! You got this!

I had 5 days pre op and 7 days post op liquids. Now I am full liquids/mushies. I do 1 or 2 shakes a day to help my protein and then one chewy meal. Plus snacks if I am hungry. I am still getting way below 1000 calories a day

I totally get this! I graduated to mushies last Thursday and have eaten 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs and 1/2 cup refrained beans. Not all in the same day. But I am not nearly as restricted as I was week 1. Still only eating 1 or 2 meals of mushy and the rest shakes. Hoping my first full will get me where I feel restricted.

I was given some anti nausea meds. Dissolvable ones. Call the dr and get some!

Did your dr. Recommend a fiber supplement. A friend of mine had lb and another had bypass and they are both on fiber supplements.

I was told I would have to crush them. I had my GP switch my normal meds to dissolve kind

When does port area soreness go away?? I am 11 days post op and I try not to bend cause it is so sore.

Are saving my life right now. I am on mushies/full liquids and they are the only thing that's filling me up. Anyone have suggestions. Seems I eat other stuff and am not full.

Ok y'all. None of my info says when I can have a salad. Lettuce, cucumber and chicken. When can I have a salad??

Started full liquids today. Got to have cheddar cheese soup with some taco season. Never thought it would be so good to have a "normal" meal!

I am 8 days post op and I was wondering if I can have the dairy creamer in coffee. Anyone know?

I was banded on the 9th and today my shoulder and gas pains have finally subsided. Walking, water and the heating pad have been my best friends.

Never heard of a 4cc total band. Wow. That's a lot of restriction.

Good luck doll. You will be just fine. I agree, the gas pains were the worst.

I was told no lifting 10+ pounds and light walks. I was banded 10/9.

I was banded on the 9th. Still on clears. Follow up tomorrow and hoping to go on full liquid/mushies soon. A girl can only take so much chocolate Protein shakes. Recovery has been great. Still sore at a few incision sites. Have lost 15 pounds since the 4th when I went on pre op

Ok. I am 8 days post op. I have a stupid question. When can I have Starbucks again? Pumpkin spice is calling my name!

Good luck y'all! I was only on the pre op for 5 long days. Lots of water!

Ok, that's on my next stage. It says cream of wheat and grits... I don't like either. Any suggestions?

Mine too Ms. Blue. Kinda crazy it's time already. Have a great day sweetie!

So I am only 4 days post op and I had to go back to work. I am a wedding planner. So tonight I had a wedding and I felt amazing. I got out there and dances with the bride and groom, ran around (well walled quickly) and got stuff done. I feel So good. I know I might have maybe over done it, but it was so worth it!!

Yep, I feel like I am starving! I am a stickler on my plan but tonight I got SO hungry. I wanted mexican food so bad but I resisted. Should I be this hungry? Even my tummy is rumbling.

I am at a wedding rehearsal and they are eating my very favorite Mexican food! I am sitting with my protein shake 2 oz and trying to distract myself. I got this.

I have the same pain..gad and shoulder. Feels like I have done 1000 sit ups and have gas pain! 3 days post op here!

I am now 3 days post op. I am feeling really good. Felt good since i got out of the hospital. I feel like I did about 1000 sit ups and have a tummy full of gas. Been walking up a storm. Gas X and the heating pad have been my friends. I only take my pain med if absolutely necessary. So I usually only take half a dose at bed time. Worse part, not being able to pick up my doggies! LOL!
