I have been gone for some time but i am back... Getting another fill tomorrow. hopefully this will be a lot better last time i don't know how many times the lady poked me and was WAYY off. i'm kind of nervous its been 4 months post op and my port area is still tender is that strange? do you think maybe its infected or am i just worrying too much. I know i have lost about 18 lbs since my last apt so maybe its because my body is changing? Any insight?

my favorite vegg muhy would have to be squash... any kind just make it mushy! its better than potatoes!

Deft sticking to what the dr told me... I always push my self too far and I don't want to risk it this time. I am very surprised in how much I actually like sugar free stuff so I think that will stay with me as I go. The good thing is I only have to go to work Thursday and Friday then get the weekend off so I'm only sticking my feet in for now

I have heard that as well. I also have PCOS and that is one of the main reason why I got banded. I guess we will just have to wait and see!

So day 5... here come the bruises. That I do remember. With my gallbladder the bruising was instant here its not 5 days after surgery the bruising starts? that's pretty much my pain now and a little where my port is. I haven't used any pain meds at all today... i'm pretty sure the swelling has gone down as I can eat a whole pudding cup and not feel full... i'm down 11 lbs though.. I go back to work on Thursday and not looking forward to it!!!

it's a lot to process... It can be rough today is when I kind of fell to.. I am craving tacos like no other. Beside us on here do you have others that are there to support you? Although we are not there in person we are going through the same issues I different ways. You already took the first step in putting yourself first!!!

posting a little late today.. today was interesting...it was the oddest feeling I couldn't tell if I was hungry or full? although I was able to eat a cup of applesauce and pudding..I also had a popsicle and a 1/4 cup of soup!.....Also I had pressure in my chest again hopefully tomorrow it will be better/ Other than I have ben feeling pretty great I'm excited about what is to come

Thanks.. We have so much equipment at our house but it seems like i'm not pushing myself if i do it here. If i'm out somewhere spending time away from my home i will push myself more plus they have a water aerobics class that i am going to convince my husband to do with me!!

Congrats!. I also got banded on Thursday.. I sleep on the right side of the bed so all of my incisions are on the left its easier to sleep on my right side. I have kinda rolled my way off the bed. I'm still getting used to it too hopefully we can find a happy medium!

Be carefull with that when i had my gallbladder out that is what they used and it didnt heal properly. I could stick a finger in the scar!!!

3/21 for me as well and limited pain... feeling great today!

I also got banded on Thursday! The first 2 days were tough but today i feel a lot better and i know its just going to get better from here!

Good afternoon everyone. Surprisingly today i feel great. I got up and took a shower and got to take all of the bandages off! pretty exciting. I had my gall bladder out in May of 2012 which was laproscopic and the surgeon sealed my incisions with glue and they never healed right. I asked if Dr Nirmul could go in and fix it and he did. I am very happy he actually listened to what MY needs were. I am very pleased with him. I am 100% better than my last laproscopic surgery. I am impressed with how everything was handled. I also went through true results in Phoenix and they have been wonderful! My hubby and i decided once i'm healed we are going to join a rec center near by. I have always wanted to join just never had the motivation. Well all my excuses are out the door!. I know it says no strenuous exercise for 4 weeks do you really think 4 weeks is a good time. For me i think it would take longer. I assume it would just depend on how you are healing and what you yourself are able to achieve! Oh and i'm down another 3 LBS.. Weird i think it just may be the C02 leaving! anyways 3 lbs is 3 lbs you got to start somewhere!

Thank you! I'm down about 5. i'm pretty sure it was just my pre op diet. The good thing for me is I usually don't sleep on my left side but I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that
