Tomorrow will be 2 weeks on clear liquids! One more week to go! I'm getting really bored on the liquids, and can't wait for the next stage! Any good recommendations for mushies?

@ Ms Vickie I am having all the same issues! I am 11 days post op! Back pains and very gassy! Ahhhh

Thank you! I just recently joined fitness pal. My user name is jackin0820 if you want to find me! I wish I had a little more time off of work, but I think I will be ok. Ideally how many calories are you eating a day?

Thank so much! Will do

I wish I was able to stay home that long! Yes i'm on full Liquid diet. It's suppose to be for 3 weeks. I go back to my doctor tomorrow for post-op appointment.

Hello. Does anyone have any good suggestions on what works good on lap band scars? Thanks! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:4852] [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:4704]

Thank you! Today is my last day home, and tomorrow is my first day back and i'm starting back with a half day. I will see how I do with that. I'm hoping to feel stronger once I start back with my normal routine. Can't really stay home much longer, so home I do well! When did/are you returning to work?

Hi. I am also a week post op. I have lost 14 pounds, and am not really hungry. My soreness has gone away. I am getting ready to go back to work tomorrow, but the only thing I am worried about, is I get very tired when I do to much. I am a teacher and work a long day (7:30-4:30) and I just don't know how i'm going to do. Wish me luck! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:4852]

I'm 4 days post op and my gas pains are pretty much gone, still burping a lot. But def don't have that shoulder pain anymore!

I was banded on Monday. I'm doing fine on liquids for now, but I can see 3 weeks of them getting a bit boring. I'm just struggling with gas pains now.

When did you gave yours?

Anyone have stomach grumbling? Is that normal?

I had surgery on Monday. The pain comes and goes. I am trying to walk when I feel it but it actually feels worse when I walk. Maybe I will try a heating pad, thanks!

Hello. I was wondering how long people had gas pains for? I have a terrible shoulder pain due to gas pain, I was wondering how much longer it might last? Thanks

Had mine yesterday, woke up feeling alot better today Good Luck to you!

Hello everyone! Was banded today! Feeling so so, having bad gas pain and nausea when I sit up. Hoping both of these thing go away soon! Glad to be on the other side though, can't wait for my journey to start!

Big day for me tomorrow too! Started on my liquid diet today, I am feeling great and very excited to be banded! Had alot of mixed emotions leading up to the surgery, but I feel like I am totally ready to do this!!

Getting closer and getting excited/nervous. I'm guessing this is a normal feeling!

This is all very interesting to read!! I guess you just have to try and see what works for you!

Going for mine on Saturday!!

Hello. Going for my pre-op appointment today, does anyone have any questions they can recommend me to ask me surgeon? Or any other advice? Thanks! 11 days to go!

That's great!! Very inspiring. Getting banded on the 14th, Hope to have great results like you!!

Hi changirl, I am from North Jersey and also being banded in 2 weeks!!! Good luck to you!

I know the feeling dmh102! I got my surgery date in August but due taking time off of work, I couldn't schedule it till October 14th. Feels like it's taking forever!!! Good luck to you and everyone else being banded this month!
