Congratulations! Great news and very inspiring.....gives me hope. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations!! You must feel so great already. 2 weeks of liquids must have been tough. I only went 4 days liquid, then soft. Those were my doctors instructions. I have strayed from soft a little bit, soft chicken/lentils, even 1/4 grilled cheese. I just chewed to small bits and went real slow. It was fine. Best of luck to you.

Went back to work Tuesday and had a good day. Minor pain around port incision, but other than that I feel good. Thinking about doing some gardening today, if it doesn't hurt to bend. Trying to drink more water, feeling a little dehydrated. Hope you ladies are well and thanks again for the feedback.

Hello Kat. Congratulations on your surgery. I know its not an easy decision to make. I was banded on 9/23 and did not recover as fast as you. It was 5 days before I felt better, so you are doing fantastic. Try to drink as much water as possible to avoid constipation. Good luck and stay optimistic, it will be worth it.

Thanks for the feedback ladies. Day 7 and MUCH better! Shoulder pain gone, after releasing all the gas in my chest. I've been moving around a lot better and going back to work Tuesday. I look forward to my new life. Have a great day.

Today is day 5 and I'm still in some pain and have occasional nausea. The gas pain in my left shoulder is better, but my stomach is tight and my breathing is painful. How long before I will be pain free?
