Feel your pain, I am also day 5, did it on Monday the 8th, I thought today, was suppose to be better, pain is less, but discomfort from bloating, gas-being burpy has been killer, how about incision sites? do you feel like they are going to come undone-or just me paranoia???:blushing:

btrieger.. thanks u. lol i would have never figured it out cause i had to clue what Avatar ment lol.. thanks again..

Newme.. the first few days my incision sites hurt exspecially port side but they didnt feel like they were gonna come out tho.. but now that the pain from that is subsided i notice the gas and bloating and burping and chest pains are horrible now.. and the rumbles in my stomach to my chest get so painful. Today is day 6 and i really hope it gets better,,well congrats tooo

I am 4 days post-op and I didn't have much of any soreness or pain after surgery. I do fill very FULL though...I am wondering how long it lasts though...I don't know that i could eat real food if I wanted to right now... :blushing:

U got ur profile up LadyTru_it took me some time to figure it out too, not very user friendly. lol. Ok so day 2 for me and I've been coughing which hurts like hell. had nothing but water and cranberry juice_cant wait for the soup phase. I feel better today but feels like im pregnant because I can't suck it in. LOL. UGH!!!!!!!!:blushing:

Question: What vitamins should I be taking? chewable, liquid? I haven't been taking anything and thought since I'm not eating I should take a good vitamin, any suggestions? :blushing:

kary u should def be taking vitamins but i dunno what kind.. the once i got im having trouble swolloing so on thursday for my 2week post op ima gonna ask what he recommends so right now im not taking any.. yea and i def understand the pregnant feeling.. im day 7 now and i still cant suck in. im still on soup and sick of it now i cant wait for the soft food phase lol..

jre congrats on ur band and welcome to the band family

yeah, I'm scared to swallow anything right now, especially a pill. Yikes! Going to invest in a pill crusher for sure. lol. hey, did you tell anyone about ur band, to like ur friends and family? My mom is giving me the most hell about it. UGH!

JRE, I feel extremely full as well, I wanted to drink my chocolate protein shake which is super thin, but couldn't choke it down so ended up drinking just water and going to bed. :blushing: LOL.

kary. yea i pretty much told all my friends, few of my coworkers and my family .. everyone is extreamly supportive exspecially my mom. and of course u get thos few people that dont really know u and heard u got it done and say u took the easy way OUT!! yea ok this is not easy this is one of the hardest things iv ever had to do.. changing my entire life putting myself back in debt for all these medical bills .. pain bloating.. regular doct visit. relearning how to eat and never being able to eat normal again.. oh yea that sounds like the easy way lol.. crazy people and of course its the people who never had a weight problem who got something negative to say.. but personally i am not ashamed of my decision and i am very proud of myself and u shoud be very proud too because this is ur life and ur body and ur gonna be together a very long time and i think u made the right choice

Ladytru84,

So when did your bloat go away? Was it from the surgery Co2 or what???? This is Day #5 from surgery. I felt really good this AM and then ate (maybe too much too fast) that might have caused it???? Details please!!! Tnx!

I have back pain in the center of my back behind my ribs. I'm guessing it's gas. (it feels like I need to crack it all the time) I also have a feeling of fullness when I breathe in what feels like my diaphram (I'm guessing it's my stomach being banded). Just not sure of all these feelings. . . .I will definetly walk more though. oh ya, I have been seriously bloated from the start, but each day has gotten better (day 4)

I feel a little more normal now after seeing your update. I am seriously bloated too.....I wonder when that goes away. I was great this am......Let me know what Dr. Bhoyrul says. Also do you know when he leaves for his trip?

Neyad-

How long did it take for your bloating to go away? I'm day 5 and I can't stand the bloating. I've been walking around quite a bit, but I haven't been going on designated "walks". Any light at the end of the tunnel? When will I feel normal again?? haha.
