Hi there i had mine on the 12th and i was not on a liquid diet before either. But i am now yuck so be greatful i am so very very sick of my thick liquid diet that i am on right now.

Hello all well i am 4 days post op and feeling so much better. On Surgery day started out good i remember being moved on to the surgery table and that is it. I woke up in my room in alot of pain. I had a c section 6 years ago and the feeling was similer in my stomach area but not as bad. I take a look at my stomach and there are my 5 suture marks well one has sutures the rest are glued closed. I realize the main one where the port must be is about 1 1/2 inch long. Then after trying to reposition my self in the bed to relieve some pain that did not work i call the nurse and she helps me up to go for a walk. Well i must say that was the best thing i could have done. So I do recommend walking as soon as u can. The next morning after a not so good night of sleeping i go to xrays to make sure the band is in place and drink this drink that tasted like chalk that took everything i had to swallow to make sure there were no leaks in the band i was allowed to go home. All i can tell u is bring a pillow for the ride home pot holes are terrible and u feel everyone. The pain does get better everyday I am now on a thick liquid diet and that is working for me. No bathroom problems at all so i really have no complaints or regrets. By the way 5 pounds down today. Take care all

my date is Aug the 12th will let u know:smile2:
