I just had lap band surgery on the 9th and I have been reading allot about sliming and pb's I was really hoping someone could tell me how often food becomes stuck and slimming occurs? My doctor informed me about the pb's but I never heard anything about sliming so I am a little freaked out.

Day 4 post surgery still getting some pain when I sit down or stand up but it is allot better. One thing I have noticed so far is my stomach likes to groan allot now and yesterday I found myself day dreaming about solid foods and totally craving everything I shouldn't have I feel like I am trying to kick some addiction. Also I was wondering about when we get a fill for the band does it hurt at all? I really hate needles...

My doctor prescribed me only eight doses of Tylenol with codeine I feel like that is really not going to be enough since I am taking it every four hours. it doesn't really seem to be doing a whole lot for the pain anyways. The pain doesn't seem to have changed much since yesterday but everyone seems to agree the first couple of days are the worse.

I was wondering what you ate for the first couple of days so far I have had 8 oz portions of protein shakes, Popsicles because my throat is very sore too, 8 oz of tomato soup and just a couple oz of fat free yogurt. And as much water as possible

Thank you I was trying to drink as much water as possible yesterday but I was up every couple of hours to go to the bathroom. The worst part was getting back into bed I must have paced around in my bedroom for hours. Someone had mentioned I should try some gas x to relieve the pressure built up.

Thanks for the reply sandy. I was really worried last night that something was wrong I was in so much pain. But it seems a little better today just need to stay on top of my pain meds.

I pretty much did the same thing and imagined the last time that I felt really good about myself. In college I lost 125 lbs and was down to 180 I would really like to get back down to that again.

I just had my surgery yesterday and I am still very sore I was up most of the night and was having trouble getting comfortable. I was wondering how long does it usually take to start feeling normal again?
