Hi, I too was banded 12/21. The shoulder pain has been the worse part for me( from the Co2). It has been unbearable at times. Eating mashies has been tolerated well.

I'm curious, what did you do for your shoulder? I'm 10 days out and the pain is still intense.

I'm curious what you did to stop the shoulder pain. I'm 10 days out and it's intense.....

Can I ask when your gas pains stopped? I was banded 12-21 and my shoulder still hurts unbearably.

I know. Just frustrated today. We had sales training classes at work today and for the next two days. I am responsible for ordering, setting up and taking down the food for lunch. it looked and smelled really yummy. I didn't have any but it made me cranky nonetheless. I'm luck b/c my pre-op diet does allow me to eat protien and some veggies with my protien shakes but it is still hard. I keep questioning if I have made the right decision. I sure hope so.

Guys, I don't know if I can do this pre-op diet for another 10 days. I'm hungry.................................

I thought about sending them all an email and tell that way. I'm having it done on 12/21 and everyone will be home for Christmas so there is no way I can hide just having surgery. Wish me luck! Btw, started preop diet today and I'm hungry but not too bad.

Hang in there. I start tomorrow and will be right there with you

Y surgery is less than two weeks and I still haven't told my 3 adult children or my parents. My husband, of course, knows. As anyone lse been afraid to tell friends and family? I'm afraid they will judge or not understand.

Yes, mine is 12/21 too. Starting Pre-op diet tomorrow. I sure hope I can do this.
