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

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??

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!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
