Nervous, but more excited about the new lifestyle.

Any tips for the first day post?

Thanks

Congratulations!! Just walk around as much as you can to get the gas moving! You are in for an incredible year. :smile2: :laugh:

Best wishes,

Catherine

good luck on your brand new journey.get a lot of rest.drink a lot of water.sip slow.welcome to your new life.

Good luck! As the others said, walk walk walk and sip sip sip your water. Having Gas-X near by never hurts either! Congrats on your surgery.

im about 15 hours post op....eat your clear liqid slow.my gas pains are starting to subside

Congratulations!!! I was banded yesterday and the 2 things i found helpful so far was 1) keeping ahead of the pain by taking the pain medicine on a regular schedule (for me it was every 3-4 hrs) and 2) walk and then walk somemore . . i started with five min every hour and by the end of the day i did an 18 min walk (slowly). it really helped a lot with the gas and getting more limber. Let us know how you feel. Best of luck!!!

it took me 3 hours finish my clear liquid supper....i was hoping for some hot cereal this morning..still jello juice n broth

Hang in there you are on the right road.........You'll feel a whole better in a few days CONGRATS!

Life is good..

Congrats! Keep up the great work!
