Physically you will probably be fine but the problem is that 30 days post op you will probably still be in your mushies stage. That would be the hardest part in my opinion...

The first 3-4 days were the hardest for me. After that, my body got used to being hungry and my stomach stopped growling. And not to long after that, I REALLY realized how addicted I was to food/eating. Since then, i’ve had no issues with hunger. I think a big part of it, is in your head (like any other addiction), and just a small part is really your body NEEDING food to survive.

OMG, just noticed you had responded here!! Sorry I didn't see it before :-)

Hey doggylover I deleted my fb we can chat threw here

good morning... I was band yesterday. they had trouble getting my PICC line started. In up with line in my neck. painful.....this cause the surgery to be delayed. I was a little nervous. but after i got in the or. lights out and then I was in recovery. no real pain very little gas. god is good.
Thank you bandsters for keeping all the newly banded in your thoughts and prayers. This is the beginning of a better and healthier me!!!

I got banded on the 25th. It went super well. Got up about 1 hour after i woke up and was already walking. I have no pain, just discomfort due to gas and bloating. I feel like a balloon!!! I stayed in the ICU for the night and was feeling so good (compared to others in the ICU unit) that the nurses were wondering if i just got surgery. I finally convinced the doctor to let me go the following day. I know I have a good tolerance to pain but i'm wondering i'm I normal or what?? Getting my liquids down ok too! Strangely i've been craving cheese since yesterday..i know, weird! So for now, resting as much as I can and trying to drink as much Water as I can. I'm SO glad this is over, I feared the worst and I think I was stressing alot for nothing. For those having surgery soon, stay positive, its not as bad as we think....

A lot better today

Yes it is.... I have bad chest pain

Am doing fine today I did a lot of walking on yesterday. The only problem is my throat is still hurting. I have been sipping on water!

Glad you are doing ok an I will be going home same day after surgery so hoping I have it as easy as you Good luck !!

You guys are going to wake up before you know what happened.
I hope you have a good experience with your surgery like I did. Just make sure they give you liquid prescriptions and listen to that band! It's kinda like a really quiet back seat driver that will smack the hell out of ya!!

Well I just got home and I am in so much pain my belly is very swollen.my lover back is hurting

Good luck to both of you!!

I go in at 8:30 am

I feel ya! I'll be walking through the hospital door at 9am! We'll be on the other side soon. Good luck with yours!!!

Day 1-2-3 were the worst for me. Then after that my stomach stopped growling and I realized I wasn't that hungry....I think the big part of being hungry is in the head (head hunger)

Surgery tomorrow!! gulp !!! I'm really getting nervous..... I wish i could fast-forward 1 week!!

this is true B
i took a needed time out over the weekend for that very reason.
i can only say it so many times (as us all) to follow your doctors instructions, be patient and let the band work before you really get tired of saying it...maybe it will sink in
each needs to be responsible for themselves
you either (help) the band or not..all a matter of wanting
it bad enough to do it and stop the excuses..

Best of luck!

I'm starting my pre-op diet today also!!! We can do this

In one week for me too!!!!!!!!! As of right now, i'm not nervous, just excited! We are SO going to rock this!!!

One week away! Monday is my day....

To day is the day can't wait little nervous :-)
