After surgery I went to the mall. I walked for hours. My doc said that the walking helped me not to feel gas pain. Didn't feel anything until today, pressure on my chest and pain on the port. It's real uncomfortable

Had surgery Tuesday 2/19. The first two days felt hungry but no appetite. Today Friday, gosh I was hungry. My mom made me some Soup and I was only drinking the liquids, but then I got some yams, mashed them and ate them. I was starving. I also ate some pieces of beef with the soup broth. Gosh I felt way much better after that. Try to eat something soft like yams, mash them w chicken broth, it worked forme.

I have been applying ice, that also helps

Hi, had surgery Tuesday, 2/19. I was doing great. I even took a plane the following day after surgery. Well, today I had a lot of pain on my port. Took some meds doc gave me for pain and felt better, but it does hurt a lot.

Great topic

I'm also having pain whee my port is

I also had surgery on Tuesday. I felt pressure on my chest, not pain. I feel pain where my port is. Anyone knows how long this lasts

Tos for those ideas, I also needed it

I love food too! Had the band yesterday and not hungry at all

Happy 2 hear she is doing well. Also, ur a great son. Do u also had the band?

True!

Just had band 2day so I'm still learning about food intake.

Dear friends I just had surgery 2day an here I'm writing. My day started at 5am since I'm in Colorado and I prefer to use my NYC hour. Surgery was at 9am. everything was great. My doc and his staff are the best! I recommend him. Lapband surgery was $8950. I left clinic around 2pm. Headed to hotel, took my meds and then I hit the mall. Bought lots of things for my kids, their dad,and my mom. Hours later went to hotel, had meds, chicken broth, shower and here I am, talking 2 you guys. No pain at all! Just had some nausea but the med removed it immediately. It's 10:30pm in Colorado and 12:30am in NYC. Follow up w doc 2moro and then back to NYC at 6pm Colorado time. I flew alone and hired caretaker here. I'm talking tony guys from the bad and she is on Facebook, cant b better. Soon both will sleeping. Those who don't have any support like me, don't b afraid of doing what u gotta do. Have ur surgery, travel if u have to, find a fill doc, borrow the money, but don't let people and ur situation stop u. Follow ur dream bc lapband Is not about being skinny, it's about getting ur life back in order to enjoy it and to share it w ur love ones. It's to admire yourself and finally to see u in the mirror and saying hello to the person u used to b or to the face u wanted to have. (I will continue to write on my page, it's getting too long) an I need to rest. Good night family!

Had surgery 2day... Feeling great!

Today I didn't do it! Gosh this is frustrating!

Mine is Tuesday! OMg is almost here!

I just made appt w one of these clinics... Guys u can call them for price info

I broke my diet (Atkins). Surgery Tuesday so to make it up, I'm going to start liquid diet tomorrow.

2 weeks diet and lost 10 and just gained them back. Surgery Tuesday. Just hope all goes well. I love food and I needed to say "goodbye" to food and started to eat.

Well, Fred, a fat girl must do what a fat girl gotta do! I'm traveling all by myself and hired a nurse in Denver who will care for me... I'm doing my thing....lmao

Congratulations! Mine is next Tuesday, a little afraid.

I'm Hispanic we eat lots of rice, meats, juices, starch. When my mom offers me these foods I seriously tell her, "mom, i want to feel good about my self, you are not helping me." I also feel my friends that! They feel guilty lolololol

I did not tele my family but since I'm traveling from NYC t denver and have 2 kids, I told my family I had to remove the appendices in Denver as I lost job insurance and could afford NYC doctors. That's what I said and no one is going to make me say something else. They think I'm going for lipo, gosh I got offended by the comments, LMAO.... I'm leaving Monday, surgery Tuesday. I did tell a couple of friends since I was looking for someone to come w me but they all refused to come. Some I told them I cancelled it, about 3 friends know I'm heading there to do it. I know they will suspect something is going on when I start losing, but that's my business and I will tell them the truth, "I no longer eat the way I used to." And if anyone insists in knowing what's going on, I"ll tell them the truth, "have liquids for 1 month, chew slowly, don't drink and eat, have lots of protein, excersice, bla blah blah blah lolololololol

Wish me lol

Hey, how r/u? Isolated? Tell me about it. My surgery is next Tuesday and my family is not seven aware. I toldd them I was having appendices removed. I'm going to Denver from NYC all alone to have this surgery. Why I didn't tell u might ask? Well, my friend tell me tell u that they would never support me on this and they would criticize me for the rest of my life. I have a fat sister and even she criticize my weight. They tell me, u are too young to be fat, but they would have never support me on this. My children are staying w my mom and I'm traveling all alone to do this. Toomuchfun, I'm coming t denver Monday, withstand me luck!
