Hey Girl! Sit ups for me too!! That is the best description I can come up with! liquids and Jello going down fine. No nausea, but a lot of "gassy" back pain. I think the C02 they fill ya with is stuck under my diaphragm! Over all not as bad as I thought. Got home today about 2pm and have been resting. It's almost 80 degrees out so just got dressed and going for a walk cuz it is suppose to turn crappy all the way to Sunday. Keep me post as to how you are doing. Good luck.

was banded 5/3/10 still bloated and sore. Like i got kicked in the stomach over and over and over. They had me up and walking within an hour of coming to...they said it helps with the gas. and i honestly havent had any after taking about 5 walks. My dr kept me over night for whatever reason, i dont argue just do as im told. Hopefully tonight i will finally get some sleep. The hospital beds were mad for people under 6 ft, Im 6'4 so yeah very uncomfortable.

Everything is staying down, car ride home sucked but good to be home.

Good luck everyone

Hey guys!

I'm feeling about the same as all of you! Although, I want to burp more! haha... I feel like I need to, but can't always... when I do it feels pretty awesome. I just started on my Protein shakes... I have NO appetite. Which is kinda great! Keep me posted :bored:

I was banded on 5/3/10. My belly is still swollen a little from the gas. My stomach is sore but most of my discomfort is in my shoulder and back. I have been trying to walk a little more to see if that will help. I am trying to get all my fluids down but honestly I am not that hungry and I am scared to drink to much because i dont know what my limit is and I dont want any vomiting to upset the placement of this band.

Hello from the hospital. I was banded 24 hrs ago. When I woke up the only pain I had was gas in my abdominal area. Now today the gas is better, but my insions Hirt if I don't use the morphine. Well that's all for now. I should be leaving for my sip test soon.

Wow I just drifted off while typing this.

Take care,

Melissa

I was banded yesterday morning, and just had my first cup of broth about an hour ago, nothing else but herbal tea and Water, or crystal lite. Have absolutely no appetite yet, so I'm just

assuming that I will listen to my body. Maybe will try a Protein shake tonight. Is it ok not to have any Proteins for a few days??

Jen...what is a clear Protein Drink?

[thin in 2011 0]

I was banded on tuesday, the 4th. Actually not feeling bad at all! Not what i expected-which is in a GOOD way!! I did finally go to the bathroom, which I never thought I would be "happy" to go-LOL!! Glad to hear everyone is doing pretty well. I loved taking a real shower this morning in my own bathroom for sure!! A little difficult sleeping last night- sleep on my left side on my stomach, so not too good there. Any suggestions?!?!? Take care everyone and excited to hear everyones progress!!
