I gained something like 10 pounds from the surgeries IV's.........it will pass soon enough.

BLOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello everyone: For the past few days I have been very bloated in the afternoons. I am still on liquids so nothing has changed there. It is just that I get major "gas" pain right below the band....But it is not gas per se. I have walked every afternoon for about 45 minutes and it does not go away... Pepcid and Gas-X does nothing for it either.... Any suggestions????

What you are feeling is gas pains...get some Gas X strips. They help considerably. ALso, walk around a bit in the house. That will help as well. Good luck....we are in this for the long run!!!!!!!!!!

How long does it take to lose the wight i gained fron surgery??? Ni kidding, I gained 14 lbs in the hospital probably from all the IV's I was given.

Post op diet is Liquid Protein for two weeks. I am allowed to have broth once a day. Since I am lactose intolerant, I mix my Bariatric Advantage (love it) Protein powder with soy milk which makes them really thick. I am tring to get more calories into me. I have no probelms getting all of the shake down as my constiction does not seem bad right now. Ant. ( I am a fish biologist...thus ichthyology!!!).

I really like Braitric Advantage. They make great protien shakes. I mix mine with soy milk, as I am lactose intolerant. The soy makes the shakes extra thick wich is realy nice.

I am tow days post banding. I have NO energy at all today. Yesterday was fine until I got home from the hospital. Slept from 5 PM to 7 AM. Got up and tried to take a walk but could not do it. All I wanted to do is sleep. Came home and slept another 5 hours. Now, an hour later I can barely keep my eyes open. What the heck is going one? Anyone else had this problem!!!!!!!

The problem I have today is that I have NO energy. AFter my morning post I went for a walk and could barely do it. All I wanted to do is sleep. Came home and slept for another 5 hours. It seems that I just cant wake up!!!!!!!! Anyone else have this problem.

My problem today is that I have NO energy. All I want to do is sleep. Went for a walk this morning. Could barely do it. All I wanted to do is sleep. Came home and slept another 5 hours, that is afyet sleeping 18 hours previous....

My problem today is that I have no energy. All I want to do is sleep. I took a short walk this morning and only lasted 15 minutes. Came home and slept another 5 hours.... It seems that yesterday I so much more energy. Today, no energy what-so-ever.

No gas for me YET.... sure alittle but the left side aching gas......I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will not happen to me.....

The only reason everyone seems to know each other because of lapbandtalk. Everyone here is here to help eachother through this process becuase know one knows how it feels to go through this process (physically and mentally) except those who are or going through this process. So, welcome to our little section or hell (or heaven) as the case may be. :-)

Well, I am home from the hospital. Not much pain, more soreness than anything else. Feels like I had a weeks worth of heavy stomache workouts. The nurse told me not to get on a scail for a few days becuase of all the fluids they give you via IV. I did anyway....14 lbs up!!!! I am not worried at all about it becuase I know pre-suregery they gave me two liters, and at least 5 liters post-op. Only 1 liter of output of urine....so the next few days I will be standing next to the toilet!!! Well, just thought I would let you know how it is going with me.....
