Best of luck ....you'll do great!!!!

Yay!!!!!! Good for you! I am 4weeks post op tomorrow and I am headed back to the treadmill today after work today!!!!!! Like you I can't wait to GET IT GOING!!!!!! :)

I was banded 2/26 . I am excited to join!!!! Hats off to everyone for making this serious leap to a healthier you!!!!!

I am looking for a new one to try. I will pick them up today.

I had zero appetite but I didn't continue my Protein Drinks. Like StephGabbard said you have to get your protein in to heal. Best of luck !

Thanks for responding and thanks for the recovery wishes!!!

Thanks for posting!!!!! I feel much better knowing others have recovered similar.

Question: 3 out of 4 of my incisions feel healed but the incision/ port site is still very tender. I have no bleeding or discharge it still very sore. Is it normal for the spot to be tender and sore longer? Also, my port site isn't on my waist and my waistbands do not come in contact with it.I get my staples removed Wed. Any responses would be helpful TY!!!!

Awesome advice!!!

TY!! The restaurant and food commercials make HUNGRY for solids lol

Thank you everyone !!! I took all your advice! I pressed on with my chores laundry, dinner for my family and even cleaned out some draws and a closet (YAY). Watched Flight with Denzel W. , got addicted to Scandal on Netflix, went to the hair salon and I did some shopping , I did one row at the outlet mall with my BFF yesterday it was so nice out! All in all my days have been fuller and I am feeling less sore each day. Thanks again for your input!! 6 days Post-Op

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I love your positive attitude. I am with you I can't wait till mushies and solids. Congrats on taking this big step!!

I didn't have a appetite until yesterday ( 5 days post op) I still do ice chips, 1-2 Atkins shakes and non fat yogurt smoothies with yogurt, Crystal Light and ice YUM and 40 cal fudgicles and sugar free Popsicles , all my pre op diet. I tolerated a 1/2 cup of grits well yesterday for dinner . I am going to try a 1/2 cup egg beaters mid day today.

Congratulations!!! I am sure once this healing is done (me included) we'll be on our way!!!

Hello Everyone!!!! I have a question, about how long will it take before this sore throat/sore roof of my mouth thing goes away? It's making it tough to want to eat and drink. Tea and ice chips have been my meals of choice. I am 4 days post op.

See if you can have some ice chips?!?!

I was banded 2/26/2013 and I have been going stir crazy waiting to heal .What did everyone do to fill your days? I go back to work 3/11/2013.

Congratulations on taking this step!!! I prefer ice but I am told either is fine, it's what soothes you best.

Thx for the reassurance!!!!!!

Best of Luck!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Team February 2013 Bandsters!!!! I am officially banded. My surgery was Tuesday Feb 26th. I stayed in the hospital Tuesday night and discharged today 2/27 at 10am. I was beat yesterday after the surgery I slept from 11am-5pm. I didn't end up having the hernia (which I thought was odd). My doctor said the band was perfectly placed and that I could add oatmeal and reduce fat cream Soups today but haven't had the appetite to do so yet. I am sore but not unbearably sore. I am doing MM size Advil 400mg and I will take the Tylenol with Codeine ,if needed, but the taste of the liquid is worse than the pain in my book lol.
