Tweety39

I had surgery on Tuesday, 2/2/10 and I wanted to go back to work on the following Monday, But I was so weak and tired, so I went back to work for a few hours that Tuesday for 3 hours and than we had a big snow Strom in NY, and my office had closed for 2 days. Than I worked for 4 hours that Friday. I returned to work full time this past Monday just about the 2 weeks mark and what a difference a week makes I felt much better.r

holliellen190- Yes, my 38 lb loss is with my pre op diet and after surgery

I have lost a a total of 38 ibs, so far. Yes my Dr keeps his patients on liquids for a while he wants to make sure that you are healed and the swelling goes down too.

I had my surgery on Feb 2. I'm on full liquids for for another week and half. These are going good, just feeling very tired, I was told on Tuesday at my post op that I need to get more protein and calaries in, I'm not taking enough in. how about you?

I had my surgery on 2/2/10 and I still have some swelling, as far the incision pain the large one is all healed but I still have a little pain usually later in the day after working 8 hours. and the 4 little ones do not hurt at all anymore. so give yourself some more time...

I was banded just over 2 weeks ago, and I too I have the problem. I think tis is very common. I'm used to drinking alot (water) all day. This is very HARD! I have water everywhere ..

I had the glue and i was able to shower the day after I came home, had band tue/shower thu. i was told that they were waterprof, But I would check with your DR

Maybe you had drank too much too fast, I did that and I had the same feeling. try not to drink anything for an half hour and see if that help, if not call your Dr

Thank you, Having a much better day

I have been feeling nausea all afternoon, I had a pudding and after that, It started, and I have not been able to get rid of it.. I am 2 weeks out today, I tred to have some water and everything I have tried has not helped, it just gets worse, does anyone have this feeling ? and what did you do about it? if anything:sad:

I don't think so I'm still on mostly liquids. The women from my Dr. office thinks that I need more protien, I'm not taking in enough, which is true , I was told that at my Post op put I never knew that not enough wouyld make you feel so sick. So I am going to try to take in more today and see if it helps Thanks

My Dr doesn't do any fills till after 6 weeks,. ai had my posy op today and he thinks i'm doing very well. I don't see him again till March 23rd. Since my pre op diet i have lost 38 ilbs.. I'm still on Soups and stuff like that for another week and half..

I'm in the same boat as you, I was banded the same day, and I'm feeling the same way. I find myself thinking about what I will be able to eat, I'm Hungry! And it is really hard when everyone else around you are eating, regular food and all you can eat is soup! But everything I have learned on here is that it gets easier...

I had my surgery on the 2nd, and I m finally feeling 98% normal, still tired a lot. I don't even feel the port, I hope that is OK! I started eating the full liquids and cream soup, I never know how Good that cream of chicken could taste lol

I know how you feel, i'm 1 week post op and today was my first full day of all liquids, I was so weak up to yesterday, i was on clear liquids, but thank goodness, i was told to start haveing yougrt, sf pudding, cream soup and shakes, plus all the clear liquids.

How many day out are you?

Thats GREAT! :thumbup: I'm so bad with the meds and stuff, I'm a baby!! You are home the same day? I had 1 night in the hospital.. Good luck with your recovery

Hi there everyone is talking about calcium, I'm 1 week out and I just stated taking chewables, but nothing else, when did you start taking calcuim?

I know how you feel, I'm very tired too, my sugery was 2/2. as far as the pain in your chest make sure you sip sip, like it was ot tea. I went though that last friday, I drank too much too fast and the PAIN, so keep it slow. What i do is leave out a 4 oz glass fill with what you are drinking and drink that four oz w/ in the hour and every hour and you will have enough liquids in you..
