That was a question i had to my surgery was the March 26th and i am short of breath to, when I talk and its really bad if i try talking and walking at the same time. I to hope this passes fast. Tammy

Day 2 after surgery i must say i am feeling a little better and slept a little longer in between getting up to walk around the bedroom the heating pad does help with the gas pains and helps you to sleep better. I am still trying to deep breath,i hurt a little trying to do that does anyone know how long it will take for the gas and breathing to get back to normal? and its been hard just trying to get my liquids in I get to start drinking on the protein drinks today.

I'm on day 15 of my liquid diet, I have lived on protein shakes and sugar free Jello and sugar-fat free puddings water and chicken broth. I have lost 18 pounds. my surgery is in the morning I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 am and I'm feeling NERVOUS :Banane20:. My husband gave me my shot of lovenox blood thinner in the belly this morning as I was instructed. and i can only have sips of liquid after 12 tonight up to 7:00 in the morning. But i am ready. the liquid diet is hard but it gets easier and you will lose some weight to while you are on it so good luck and hang in there we all will make it.:Banane20:

PRAISE GOD I've been cleared for surgery Friday March the 26th. I developed a cold with congestion last week and just finished a 5 day antibiotic. I still have a little cough and just a little congestion first thing in the morning but feel great and ready for my band i have lost 18 pounds on the liquid diet so far. :thumbup:
