Thanks everyone I need the support. I've never been sicker. Today I'm doing good. Just trying to get rid of nausea and my head feels like its going to pop off. I might be released tonight. Thanks

Hey guys.... I was hospitalized 3 days ago and I'm still here! I have what they think is a non related to lap band kidney/UTI infection. I have been in hell for the past 3 days and can't believe this happened. I returned to work for a day then went to ER that night. Doctors said everything looks good with my stomach and GI. I am battling non stop nausea. That and high temperatures. I think I finally broke the fevers. I just can't understand. This has been truly the worse sickness of my life!

I can't believe I got the Flu! I feel like shiz. Why me! I was banded Feb 8th. That was hard enough! I'm feeling so sad and defeated. I went back to work for one day and by 4pm I had a fever and went home. This sucks so badly .. March better be good to me!

Ok will do. I'm all prepared food wise and Water. I feel like its the first day of school tmrw. Nervous

Omg 57 lbs is a lot! I can only dream!

So my time is up and it's time to face it! I'm going back to work tomorrow and I'm scarred because I get tired quickly. I do retail management and its non stop moving all day! I hope I get through this! Any tips??

Wooohoo ! I love that you are loving life! I'm newly banded and feeling better and better!

Ok well thanks for the low down. I hope it becomes less soon!

Ok so am I going to be burping like a frat guy for the rest of my life? I was banded 9 days ago. It's annoying how gassy my stomach gets at times. Is this part of the healing process?? Mehhhhhhh!

Ya i got handed on Feb 7. istarted diet Feb 4 and I am down 19 pounds. I had to go back to hospital a few days ago. I found out i have Fluid in my lungs. Now about 1/2 hour ago just got another problem. Where my port is at... Big incision ... It's leaking. I don't know what to do? Freaking out here.

I'm sorry! That's a rough start. I really hope it gets resolved. After I posted I was doing good. A few days later I had gas radiating in my chest so breathing was impossible. I was literally having what felt like a heart attack. It got better so my brother drove me to walk around the mall(walk walk walk) It happened even worse! I was convinced the lady in the store was going to call 911. She had the phone in her hand!...... So embarrassing. It's going to be rough at first it can only get better!

Congrats! So happy for you!

Good luck akwright68!

Holy crap I feel like a new person! The pain is gone I can breathe now normally! I was walking the mall and it looked like I was having a heart attack! I kept walking! But today I feel GREAT! I hope that's the last of it!

I had my period had just ended before my surgery. Then I had my surgery it came back again for a few days.

I can't wait for my gas pain to go away! I'm excited to move on in a week to puréed foods.

I called the doctors office they said to walk more. So I got out of the house, walked a good amount it came again and nothing is releasing! This is so very painful. . This really frustrating.

My surgery was last Friday. I will call my doctor this morning. I am incredibly sore in the ribs. I was doing just fine until last night.

I can now breathe ok but it hurts still. I almost got up and went to the ER! I don't know if ill be able to sleep. Ill call doctor first thing tomorrow. This sucks

I am having serve pain under my left ribs. I took my pain meds but it still hurts like hell! I was laying sideways on the couch, got up and felt like I was stabbed in my ribs. It hurts to breathe and can't lay down. Anyone else experience this????

I had surgery a week ago today. Still a bit of pain in my shoulder but I feel good. A bit dizzy at times but I've got major headaches as well (another health issue not related to this). I haven't been hungry at all. I'm getting 50-70g of protein' date=' have yet to get the 100g of Protein they are wanting me to get each day. I'm working on it. Drinking about 64 oz of Fluid. With the headaches it's been hard to start much exercise. My first appt is Fri. One problem I have had is I haven't had a bowel movement yet. And I haven't had any pain meds since Saturday. Hoping something moves soon. I'm on magnesium for headaches so I should have something because on full liquids I've been eating puréed eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese.[/quote']

The Greek yogurt got me going .

How did your surgery go?

It went good. I'm just recovering. I think the 3rd day was the hardest. I got a little emotional. But overall I am good and everyday gets better! . Thanks for asking! Have you been banded yet?

If I didn't have this app I would of been soooooo lost! Thanks for helping everyone!

I just had a small emotional crying session. I just asked the same "what did I do!" I guess I'm forced to deal with the absence of food, the weird sore feeling in my stomach and gas pains. I really hope it gets better. Ugh

Thanks again' date=' I don't know what I feel but I feel like having a new toy I can't play w cuz I'm in liquids then I start thinking Ive come this car on shakes why stop? I will say mentally, this phase is sooooo confusing its emotionally draining. I go from missing food to not being hungry to not thinking ill ever eat again lol. Then the scales said minus 2 and I haven't eaten in 2 weeks.....

I get what everyone is saying and I thank you I just worry that my body is ok and this is what it will take to lose even a pound that's was worries me[/quote']

I'm in the same boat but I'm only 4 days post op. I'm on such a roller coaster. I see food I really want it! But not very hungry. I've had some cottage cheese and liquids. I feel like emotional crap

I know right .... I'm hungry and have this stupid gas pain in my chest. I can't wait to eat something! Cottage cheese sounds amazing right now! Ughhh
