You will do great. Keep us posted. Take care.

I had my surgery on Monday, Sept 16th in the morning. I went home on Tuesday in the evening. So one night.

valky - Maybe call your surgeon's office and speak with a nurse. I was able to keep my meds down. Take care.

I bet you will get your date soon. Good for you! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. I'm cheering you on from the bench.

18 since surgery. 32 total.

I had some pain, but not bad. Take the meds they give you. Don't try and tough it out.

I have fibromyalgia, which is a pain disorder, so I feel pain. You maybe won't feel it so much. My nurses were great in attending to all my needs. I'm sure you will have the same.

Oh I'm glad you posted this! I haven't tried them post Op. My tummy is so sensitive. Plus I'm not a fan of vomiting. I feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't jumping for joy. My tummy still aches after 10 days. My doc says it's the nerves, but I'm so sick of taking the medicine they gave me. It puts me into a deep slumber. Although I do like that, but I feel like my life is slipping away.

I was nauseous until I hit three weeks out from surgery. Keep taking your meds, and all of a sudden you will feel better one day.

My surgery was on September 16. I have been nauseous since about week one. I do have a medication for it, but as soon as it wears off, I'm back to being sick. I have not thrown up yet, just feel sick. I'm still on all liquids, but get to start soft/pureed foods on Monday the 7th.

Is it normal to have nausea like this?

Forgive yourself and move forward.

I had my surgery on Monday, and came home Tuesday night. The home health nurse removed my drain today. I'm doing pretty well. Still some pain...I'm thankful for the pain meds. Each day gets better. I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in. I'm told that will come. I see my surgeon on Monday. I'm looking forward to that appointment. I wish all the best to the upcoming sleevers for next week. I did it - you can too.

You are doing so fantastic! Way to go.

Catherine....thanks so much for your post. You have helped me feel so much better.

Sorry you have had some troubles. I hope you get to leave the hospital today. I got to come home on Tuesday. It's easier to recover at home if you have help. Take care.

I am 4 days post op, and only getting about 25 grams of Protein in per day. I am getting enough Water as my output is good. I am only allowed to drink 15ccs every 15 minutes of Water or Protein shakes. My surgeon's nurse says not to worry, the Protein will come. It is more important to stay hydrated, which I'm doing pretty well on.

Were you drinking more than 15ccs at a time at this stage? I've tried 30 ccs, and that has gone down ok.

Thanks.

I had my surgery on Monday. It was a little rough going at first, but I was able to go home on Tuesday night.

I'm sore and still taking pain meds every 4 hours. I'm having trouble getting all my Water and Protein in. My surgeon's office told me to keep working at it.

I have no regrets on having the surgery. I know I just have to get through this tough part. I think it will help to get my drain removed on Saturday. Home health care is going to do that.

We can do this guys.

The 16th for me too. Looking forward to getting this thing going.

I understand the jitters. I'm Monday too! I'm not really scared, just ready to go and don't like this waiting. Take care and keep us posted.

I've yelled a couple of times at my hubby during these two weeks of the liquid diet. My surgery is on Monday. I've been cooking hubby's dinner at night and it's driving me nuts. But I've not taken a bite. Hang in there.

My surgery is Monday too! Time is going so slow for me as well. I'm glad I'm not alone. I went to Bible study last night. Today I mowed lawn. Tomorrow is laundry. I don't know about Saturday yet. Sunday is church and football watching. Then it's our big day!

I'm sorry to hear about all the flooding in CO. It's dry here in Michigan.

Take care. I'll say a prayer for you. Try reading. I have a good mystery going right now.

Take care of yourself. Glad you gave us an update. My sleeve day is Monday. Can't wait.

All the best to the new sleevers for today. I'll be following in your foot steps on Monday the 16th.

So nice to see your updates. And glad you are doing so well. You give me confidence. My surgery is September 16th. God bless.

Hmmm, I would be nervous of this doctor. My doctor does not do lapbands at all. He doesn't believe in them. Ask a lot of questions.

Do your best to let go of the thoughts on foods you will miss. Think of all the good things. It's not that we won't be able to eat anymore, it's that we will just eat different foods.

I started my liquid Protein diet on Monday. My surgery is the 16th as well. Today is going very well. The first 3 days were tough, but I did it and you will too. You will do great!

Im the 16th too!

Me too! The 16th is a good day.
