    Hey all, I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and doing pretty good. I started mushies yesterday and I feel so much better after getting something in my stomach. I'm starting my exercise routine tomorrow and hoping my port soreness stays at bay. Keep up the great work everyone!!!!! :-)

    Amy C got a reaction from elisefromqueenz in Day 3 post surgical banding - no hunger pains is so weird   
    I'm with you MacDaddy, I'm 4 days post op and have yet to feel real hungry. I started full liquids yesterday and had a hard time getting 4oz of my protien shake down, I think I really only drank 3 of the 4 and was satisfied. Congrats to you and lets hope this feeling continues!!

    I'm sorry to hear about your complications, but I'm glad you seem to be doing better. Getting back in the swing of things can be difficult and contrary to your belief, if your friends are truly friends they are not disappointed in you - they understand what you've had to endure and should be proud that you didn't gain all of the weight back. I know I am. Now...let's find motivation for you. Someone suggested going to your community pool (YMCA) and going for a swim. Not only is that the best stress reliever for me, but you seem to "leave it all in the water" and your body feels amazing when you're done. If you can't swim, simply do Water aerobics - nothing fancy or formal, just MOVE! Grab one of those cheap colorful noodle things and it provides excellent resistance, similar to weight lifting. It's not easy, we know - but we are a community that believes in helping each other and if we are the only support you think you have, then we're all you need.

    Hi everyone!!! I got banded this morning!!! Woke up with a little pain and a little gas! Got to leave after an hour so I came home and went a head and walked the small back yard for a few minutes. I was able to take a pain med and nap. Still walking every 2 hours and pain meds every 4 hours! I found this website last night. I found so many ideas for thin liquids, thick liquids and mushies!!!! Just wanted go share the news of being banded!!!!! I'm so excited for my new journey and getting to meet new friends on here!!!!!

    You are not to be on them for a prolonged period of time. My doc said a short bout of them like 2xs a day for a couple days would be fine but its not something he wants his patients to do very often. Maybe you can talk with your back doctor and find an alternative drug.

    Hey Hon, hang in there. I'm glad you posted here by mistake..... Sounds like you need süpport. Try sipping a variety of liquids.... Milk, crystal lite, juices, whatever...just get in your liquids! Dehydration can also contribute to fatigue and depression. Post here any time....we'll be here for you, too.

    Congrats!! I was banded the day before you and luckily didn't have too much gas pain. I just have a hard time getting up and down due to the port placement-upper right abdomen, feels like its right under my ribs. Today is much better. Good luck to you as you continue on your journey!! I look forward to following along with you! :-)

    Amy C got a reaction from krps0930 in Banded this morning 2/18- where's the pain? ;)   
    That's wonderful news that you're doing so well!! I was banded yesterday (17th) and am having some discomfort, I believe its where my port is..right upper quadrant of my abdomen. I wasn't expecting it to be there at all but I'm sure I just have to give it a few more days. Where was yours placed? Sending you well wishes and hope you continue to heal quickly!!!

    keep this in the back of your mind as you are fulfilling all the requirements for surgery. everyone you come in contact with, your doctor, nutritionalist, psyhchologists, sleep apnea doctor etc. all want you to have this surgery and are on your side. they all recongnize that you are making the most important decision in your life that is hard to do. God is with you. And never leaves you. remember that. good luck

    Thanks to all for your well wishes. Now one day post op; I have an upper GI X-ray this morning and should be released by noon. Has beed some pain and soreness but nothing like I was expecting. Wish you could have seen the surgeon's face this morning when I asked if I could have scrambled eggs for breakfast....you could just see him trying to decide if I was serious )

    Starting my 14 day pre-op Optifast diet today! COuld be a long two weeks, but on the positive side, so far the liquid drink tastes good so that will help. Can't believe this process is finally starting! It has been a long 9 months to get to this point!
