I had my surgery on Oct.10th. I am on mushy food right now. I have been hungry but just sticking to what I am told. Today I was hungry. Ate my half cup mushed chicken and apple sauce. Still not feeling satisfied had a few bites of mashed potatoes. Worried I stretched the pouch. Am I being crazy paranoid? ?

When will this site be fixed and not do odd things all the time... I only posted my response one time.

Okay thanks. I tried last night. No luck. I felt like an alien was pulling from my belly..

So looking forward to next month's booty post.. I hope it will have gone down a bit. Xoxo

I'm all about the humor... I didn't know how to flip it. Lol.

I made my hubby take this shot. I told him I wanted to see my progress from behind. Bwhahahahahaha!!

I am a side sleeper. It has been almost a week since my surgery. Will I no longer be able to sleep on my side.

What is nsv?

Thanks for the info. I can only pray mine will stick out due to no fat or hanging skin.

Eeek!! Let me know what the dr says. Mine has been burning under the skin since my surgery. It worries me.

Thank you for the encouraging words. Feeling overwhelmed right now. I know it will get better.

Today is my 3rd day post op. A lot of belly pain and I swear something is wrong with my port. I can't even touch the skin by it.. ugh.. I pray tomorrow is better.

Where is your port located? Mine is my lower left side by my abdomin. Below a belt line.

I am feeling okay. The port is killing me. It feels like it is burning under my skin. Hard to stand and sit up because of it.

I am still in so much pain. Hurts to walk or bend. My dr. Said its normal because it is a foreign object in my body... crap...

My surgery was yesterday. I have had crystal light and sugar free jello. My doctor counts that as a liquid. It has been helping.

Did anyone else have this problem after surgery? I I'm in so much pain on left side right where the port is. It burns and aches anyone?

Thank you all for the kind words. Looking forward to being healthy!!!

I'm ready... very nervous. I feel like how I felt waiting to give birth. The unknown is eating away at me. Ugh...

I was wondering if anyone had a hernia repair during their banding? I will have both done this Thursday and wanted to know if the recovery is longer?

I have been reading a lot but am still very anxious about post op. What tips does anyone have that will help with recovery?? Gas pills? What should I have on hand to help besides pain meds.

I hope we can all stay in touch for sure to support one another. Thanks!!
