I WAS BANDED ON 2/19/08 AND I HAD TO BE A CLEAR LIQUID 24 hours and full liquied 1 week now I can start with mushies. IT IS SO WIERD HOW ALL OF OUR DR'S HAVE DIFFERENT DIET RULES. WOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ON LIQUIDS FOR WEEKS!!! ANY HOW, I HAVE NOTICED IF I JUST GO A TAD OVER MY 2 OZ'S AT A TIME I WILL GET A PAIN IN MY SHOULDER. IS THIS LIKE A WARNING SIGN THAT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OR IS IT JUST POST OP??

Thanks for your help Janet. I just need to hang in there. I can start with mushies on Tuesday. So I don't have that long to wait. I am feeling better now that I have burped half way through my day!!

Hi all! I am 6 days post op and today I am having a lot of lower back pain. Did anyone else experience this? I also have a lot of gas/burping today and a little shoulder pain which I didn't have prior to today? I ate 1 scrambled egg which I know I should't have but I was starving. Do you think that had anything to do with it???

Wow!! Be really careful! I am only 2 days post op and I feel your pain about being hungry. Like everyone else, give your new tummy time to heal. You don't want a slip and have to go back to surgery. Are you sure this isn't just mind hunger?? Hang in there, today is a new day and try to keep busy. Does anyone read Ralph Marston's inspirational quotes? It helps me. Try it!!

Hi all! I had my band done 2 days ago and feel pretty good. I only had to do the clear liquid the first day and now on full liquids. As of yesterday I gained 1 pound but I think it's added Fluid from the surgery. I haven't had any of the bad shoulder pain that everyone talks about from the gas. Thank God! Good luck everyone, stay positive!:thumbup:l

Thank you! You too!! Are you going back and forth between being scared and then feeling excited? Some days I wonder if I have made the right decision and other days I am so happy about getting my band!

I was wondering what kinds of pain meds everyone was given and how they did the first day out?:mad:

Hi everyone, my name is Christine and I want to thank everyone for all this great information. Reading the information has really settled my nerves about this process. Only 5 more days!!:mad:
