Hi!
I was banded Tuesday and also had the hiatal hernia surgery.
I had that same feeling you are getting. Feel like a tightness in the chest area as the Water is going down. But chicken broth, I have no problem with. I am on Day 6 and today finally I got a little relief while drinking Water or Protein drinks. Its not a horrible pain, but a discomfort and feels like a lot of air to me.
Congratulations on your band and good luck!!

Jojo,
I also was banded on 12/4. First few days felt like I was punched in the stomach but now on Day 6 I almost feel normal again, EXCEPT for a tightness when I drink Water. Soups, ice pops, etc go down fine, just Water. Which I find odd because its the thinniest consistancy.
I have two incisions. I am assuming one of those incisions is where my port is located. I go back this week for a follow-up visit. My doctor doesn't even consider doing a fill until 4 week out. (if he even does one he told me)
I am glad for this forum and being able to talk about our feelings and what we are going through. It was a huge decision to get this done!!
Good Luck Jojo.

Gosh, I was so nervous also going into the surgery this past Tuesday. I have never had an operation before and had tons of anxiety. Being on this site before the surgery really helped calm my nerves.
From what I can tell is that if you follow the Doctors orders to the tee, things go much smoother. I am still on liquids and looking forward to real foods on Dec 25.
The GREAT thing is I get full after 4 0z of food. That is fantastic for me, because in the past I would never get full. I would eat dinner leave the restaurant and come home and eat more. I never was satisified. Now I am satisfied
I am on Day 5 and things are getting a little easier now. No more gas pains, taking my Vitamins eating my Soups. I look for to 2013 and my weight loss adventure.
Thank you for everyones post, they not only inform me, but inspire me!!

Hey Guys,
I am 2 days post op. I did a 5 day pre-op. I went into surgery at 9 and came out of room at 10:30 home by 11.
I have a little tightness while drinking clear fluids and my broth. I am assuming it is because I am still swollen. Did anyone have this and if so how long did it take for the tightness to go away. It only last a few seconds....but its different.
I have been getting up walking around, it just feels like i did 7,000 sit ups. I don't even want to eat, lol never thought I would say that. Today I start liquid Soups and puddings.
I weighed myself this morning and couldn't believe my eyes. 18 pounds in a week. Needless to say I am pretty excited.
Thank you everyone for all your posts and knowledge I have learned.
Also can someone tell me how to attach my tickers and how to update it?
Thank you!!

Dec 4 here. I started drinking muscle milk as its in my pre-op book of choices. Love it!! But I was googling it to see the vita/nutri and there are actually being investigated and may be taken off the shelf. Figures once I like something so good and its lite it has arsenic, cadium, mercury etc high levels if you drink 2 much a day.
I heard about 310 shake? Anyone take that?
Dr. Cohen told me to start my pre-op diet On Nov 27 5 days before surgery.......
-
Thanks Cassie, that's what I needed. Never heard of divinci Syrup. Do you get it from the grocery store?
Mamagirls, I haven't started on shakes yet. Doc said start on Nov 27 with my pre op diet.......But when it does I am supposed to have shakes only for 4 days, then the 5 day have only clear broth and Water.
Taylor, I am same, excited, but nervous. Overall excited, because I feel like if I don't have this done now I will keep gaining and gaining and never be able to live a healthy life or never play sports again.
I just can't wait till I lose a hundo pounds.....
