7 days post-op now.......feeling much better. Not as sore and gas has lessened a lot. I lost another 2 lbs. but I am still having trouble getting in my fluids and I am positive I have a UTI. Hard to watch family eating steaks and pork chops:cursing: but I am holding to the fact that I did this to lose the weight and with improvement comes a little "pain".....psychologically...lol. How is everyone else doing? Still haven't figured this ticker out yet. Any ideas. I went to ticker factory and uploaded my status but when I go to post it, it comes out with just the writing.

Thank you for telling me....I felt like I was 6 months pregnant! Today is the first day I've felt human! Guess I'm a slow healer...had some creamy, liquid mashed potatoes today and felt better. I know I haven't been eating enough....trying to drink more today. No more pain meds either! Felt like crap on them.. nice to see we are all going through this together!

I was just banded on Tuesday the 29th. Finding this forum is soooo helpful bc the first few days were rough. I expected to be up and running, but it is Sat. and I am still with "no energy" and bloated all the time! Is this bloating and gas a permanent thing? God, I hope not! Gas-x strips help a little but not for long. I am having trouble drinking much and I think I am heading for a UTI....I had some broth and a shake today, but don't feel hungry....yet, my stomach is a constant "noise machine".... it's wonderful to see fellow people that are recently banded. I will keep up with this thread and see how we all do and how each day brings new change... Gina ---where do we set up the ticker?:thumbup:

Having surgery in 2 weeks with Dr. Jawad. Saw this forum, did you have your surgery and how did it come out? I am getting nervous and would love to chat with someone that had it done. Any complications after surgery? How is the weight loss and recovery? Gina40
