No joke guys day two is bad I really am an emotional wreck and in a lot of pain. I get up and walk I have walked for maybe 45 min today moved around went and sat in the glider chairs in the lobby and looked out the window for 30 min.... Is it gas pain or just being sore? I may double up on my meds tonight... I have Tylenol codine left over from strep throat... Who gives someone Tylenol after surgery?!? So distraught .. Thank god I haven't thrown up or dry heave I would not make it

My doctor ga e my Tylenol with codine and I'm in pain ladies. Just got home having a hard time getting comfy. I went from a morphine drip to Tylenol I was in tears as the nurse was telling me this.

Where did u get the unjury chicken soup I can't even think about protein shakes

Today is day two of post op very sore now, X-ray was good still have not peed though on my own. Morphine is out now on something with codine. Knocked me out thank god. Just had three sips maybe. My belly just growled im hungry I guess

I haven't been able to drink yet I never went for the x ray thing yet

Glad you're doing well I didn't ask for ice on belly I guess I should

You can do it... After a few days it gets much easier and You do feel great .. Stay strong a few days to improve the rest of your life is totally worth it!!

You didn't ruin anything.. Normal feelings and many people eat something. Some doctors so t require a pre op diet. I was on low carb high protein diet and I had some crackers with peanut butter whenever I got hungry. Everything went well. Go back on the diet though it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for the mistake just don't do it again. If you are finding it unbearable call your doctor he might let you have something. Stay strong you can do this!

I hate bras I don't mind not wearing one all week!

My hospital doesn't carry them I asked too they said some people can't cough and it does t help gas in some people

Hi ladies I was banded yesterday at 945. Pain afterward was not bad the worst part was getting the iv no lie. I I my have a gas bubble in lower abdomin and walked about 30 min. My main complaint is that I can't pee. I only was able to pee 100 cc last night and 100 cc this morning at 4am. I had a catheter done twice. I'm supposed to go home today but I need to owe naturally. Pain waking up at 4 was awful. That's because I was unable to hit my medication button. I'm on morphine drip that I can hit button every ten minutes. They also have me a cup of water with sponge swabs for dry mouth. Dry mouth is the worst dry mouth u will ever have. Pieces of my Lips are literally coming off. Bring Chapstick. I have had hiccups a few times and they suck but pain is not killer... Then again I'm on morphine. Ill have Percocet and delotin when i go home. Seriously this was 99% easier and less stressful than I imagined. Day nurses were wonderful night nurses awful. I also am hot as anything in room. My father brought me his ryobi fan that's portable and runs off ryobi tool batteries that is keeping me calm and cool. Also I had to request ear plugs the noise in hospital is awful things are constantly beeping! My room ate is from my town and actually lives two minutes from me so we will switch contact info. She is a lovely woman that had the sleeve done. Ladies I am truly happy and so surprised how well everything went. I was exhausted yesterday but couldn't sleep and seriously was the devil no lie. Like I said I have been on morphine and didn't pass out because I had pee urges and they were keeping me up along with noise. Once I demanded a catheter after 11 hours on not peeing I was able to relax. Totally recommending this surgery it was so worth it! Again in short... Bring Chapstick, ear plugs, fan (if you are someone that needs to be cool while sleeping or likes a noise maker) and request mouth wash and sponge for ur mouth immediately... Just don't swallow. Wish you all the best of luck I will keep you al updated and in my thoughts and prayers!!

Thank you....ill pray for you guys as well!! Can't wait to talk to you kbush and aviva on the other side!

Ready to head to the hospital in 15 minutes....I get banded 945!! Good luck to everyone getting it done today band buddies

Yay!! Getting banded at 945 today! So scared, nervous and excited. I have a little bit of a scratchy voice and some Clem I'm hoping this doesnt hold me back...waited too long for this

I am so excited and scared for tomorrow I am exhausted but I don't think I can sleep. I never had surgery before and cry just at the site of a needle. I really hope I can stay calm tomorrow and hope god is with me while I enter this new lifestyle. Some many things are going through my head and I honestly can't even explain how much this forum has helped me. You all have been my biggest, and I mean biggest support system and that may be sad because we really dont know each other but this support is better than no support. I am so proud and excited for everyone on here and I hope we all continue to communicate on our progress through the months.

What time do you go in again tomorrow kbush? I am leaving my house at 8 am checking in at 820 then surgery at 945

I actually just had some tomato soup!!! I read on here someone had it so I just bought it today!! I wasn't on just liquids I was high protein and low carb and I just figured since it was liquid I was okay.. Surgery is tomorrow. I did good on my pre op diet every now and then I munched on some trail mix and one day I had some peanut butter on crackers because I was so light headed. Overall I lost weight and I can see I lost weight so I'm not worried. I am so excited though for tomorrow it's insane I have no idea how I will sleep with all this excitement

Surgery 945!! Can't wait for tomorrow

How ae you feeling fashion stylist I go tomorrow as well!!! Aviva and kbush are my band twins!!

I am beyond excited I feel like this right before I go on a vacation....and the next time I go on vacation I will be a,skinny Minnie!

They call me,I believe

Great words aviva
