Today is my 3rd day post op. With the exception of a little pain here and there I am doing great! HOWEVER,Every time I cough, or at least try to, my threat feels really sore and super raw. Did this happen to anyone else? Also, I developed some blisters on my lip after surgery, is that normal? Coughing is the worst pain I experience, along with the sore throat afterwards

Because I have back problems so it's hard being on my back all the time. When I tried laying on my side I felt the gas pain in my shoulders cone back worse than ever. Any advice on how top get more comfortable without having to be on my back all day?

I just had some strawberry Jello and I made it through the cup without freaking out! So happy right now. Later I'm going to have done Greek yogurt.

Today I start my "mushies" I'm really nervous that I'm going to get nauseous from it

Thank you do much! This helps a lot

I've done a whole bunch of walking today, I was actually really proud of myself :-) i can feel the gas in my stomach and I just want it out already. I'm ready for tomorrow, I can't wait to get up and wall some more.

I had my surgery yesterday and so far the pain hasn't been too bad (minus the awful shoulder pain but that's subsiding) however, I'm starting to get pain on my left side, where I have 3 incisions. Is it the incisions that hurt, or is it gas in my stomach?

Pain in shoulders had gone down significantly, now I feel the gas in my stomach :-( how do I get it out!!

I think it's from the gas or whatever but is there a way to get rid of it faster? It hurts so bad, ice packs help for a while but it comes back worse than before

Yes...make sure to hold your stomach - placing a pillow over it and holding tightly will help you be able to deeply cough with less pain...I'm in the same boat!

I did that, maybe I'm just not holding tightly enough.

I was banded yesterday, other than discomfort in my shoulders and some pain when I get up/Lay down I am doing really really great BUT I just tried to cough and it felt like I was being stabbed over and over again. Is there a way top lessen the pain of coughing?

Great job and glad to hear your feeling well. Welcome to the club! I had my revision & plication yesterday and so far am doing well...just feel like I've done a ton of sit ups and am pretty tender as my surgery had some complications as my surgeon found a ton of scar tissue/adhesions from previous surgeries he had to remove. So excited to have a working band again and get full on a few sips of liquids! Praying the extra weight I gained from having a non working one for a few years will fall off quickly!

Good luck!

Congrats! Many blessings on your new journey to be healthy!

Thank you!

I have been waiting for years to finally start this journey and I am so excited! Yesterday I was in alot of pain, today it's mainly discomfort. Before my pre op diet I was 243, yesterday at the hospital I weighed in at 229! So far so good!
