Figured maybe someone else was on the same boat as me. Thanks anyway

Hello everyone I'm 18 days post op. just wondering, when can I stop crushing pills ? My doctor had me crushing my prescribed Vitamin meds. Just wondering when I can stop.. It's getting annoying and it taste really bad.

Congrats ! Good luck on your journey. This forum will be your best friend.

Go you !

It's becoming so hard to have a protein shake while everyone around me is having a full course meal. I keep picking at things that I can't have. I just wanna cry all day and nobody understands how hard it is. It's so much easier said than done

I was supposed to do pre op diet for two weeks. I did it for three days then cheated for the next 8. 3 days before I went super hard and had water only. That whole liquid thing isn't as easy as it sounds. Easier said than done. Some doctors don't even require a pre op. but again, that all depends on your weight. Get back on track. You got this!

After day 4 I got HUNGRY. Super hungry. Swelling had gone done. Appetite was back. I fed off of Popsicles. I was SICK of broth from pre op diet so I just couldn't have that anymore. Have water and sugar free Popsicles. It should help.

I've realized that I get really sharp shoulder pains throughout the day, and only when I'm wearing a bra. When I get home and take it off I feel a whole lot better. I do have big breast, and they are very heavy, does this happen to anyone else? Do you ladies think it would feel better if I wore a sports bra instead ?

Amaaaaaaazing !

Wowwwwwwww I'm so jealous ! Congrats ! Keep It up you look great

Surgery was Tuesday may 7th. I'm exactly a week old

My port is making me really uncomfortable for the past two days. Idk why, but I feel it shifting back and forth. It's so uncomfortable and feels like its bulging. Kind of feels like a huge pressure bubble on my stomach. Is this normal ? I had my first follow up appt for tomorrow and had to reschedule due to final exams in school. Unfortunately there were no closer dates available than next Friday the 24th.

I'm also lactose I tolerant so I thought my Protein shakes would make me go. I had half c of puréed Beans yesterday. I think that's what got me.

I thought I was the only one !!! I was banded the same day. I was in school today and thought I could hold off until I got home. NOPE. I had to GO. So embarrassing.
