KELLIJAMES

I am three days since being banded and am so hungry. I am eating jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, drinking water, crystal light and unsweet tea. I was wondering if it would hurt to have a milkshake. Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

I was banded yesterday and I am having a hard time taking my pain meds my doctor gave me pills. I have tried breaking them in half but are making me neausa. Any suggestions?

Chris Good luck I was banded yesterday 6/9/09 surgery was at 10 am and i was home by 5pm and had a two and half hour drive from the hosiptal. It is not bad at all the gas pains are the worst of it all. I will keep you in my prayers.

I was banded yesterday and I was scared to death. I almost changed my mind at the last minute. Just keep in mind this is for your health and will be for the better. I had my surgery at 10am on tuesday and was home by 5 pm and keep in mind I had a two and half hour drive from the hospital. The most pain is at the port site and the gas pains in your back and shoulders. I do not regret having it done and I will keep you in my prayers.
