    Zumba is FUN FUN FUN....I go once a week, because it is only given on Wednesday at my gym. I will not attend this week due to being banded on Monday. I hope I can make it next week. Enjoy! the key to Zumba is to always move your feet...lol
  2. I was banded yesterday 6/21
  3. Hello, I know the feeling. The only people that knos is my hubby, sister and my mom. Neither my sis not mom lives near me so I don't have to worry about them spilling the beans. My co-workers are so nosey, they know I was having a surgery but not a lap band. I plan on keeping it a secret. I am filled with Gas and Soreness. I walk just to keep the blood running..
  4. I am new to the banding, I was banded on yesterday. I was very nervous and afraid. I am still in the same state of mind. I am sore and filled with gas. I made it home about yesterday about 1 pm. very sore. I did take my meds and cat napped for the rest of the day. i drinked water and a little juice to take the pill down for naseau. I crushed my pill, don't know if it was the right thing to do or not. I walk every now and than and I do the breaths in the spiral. As the days progress, the inhaling into the tube is becoming harder. This morning I got up out of bed around 5am. I walked around before heading to the bathroom. Its hard sitting down on the toilet and getting up. I really wish I could have a bowel movement but don't seen like that going to happen. The gas moving inside of me is getting the best of me, I have been chewing Gas X like it candy. i have been sleeping with a heat pad, it helps. I drink some water today and half of a protein shake that's all I have had. Waiting to see what the rest of this day holds.
  5. Hey we have something in common, I had my band done yesterday also. I have the soreness and the gas also. what did your doctor give you for pain.
  6. I am new to the banding, I was banded on yesterday. I was very nervous and afraid. I am still in the same state of mind. I am sore and filled with gas. I started my weight gain around the time of having y child and from that moment my weight has been crazy. People still ask me am I pregnant or when is the baby due. My son is 3 and will make 4 in September, so you know thats depressing. My weight was 188 prior to surgery and I have a goal of getting to 135 - 140. My clothes don't fit properly and I hate shopping. I don't find bras that look right on me either. I made the decision to change and my change has started.
