I had my surgery on Tuesday! I also had as my Dr put it, "a large Hiatal Hernia"! I must say I am more sore than I thought would be. My surgery was at 1pm and I felt terrible on tuesday so I stayed overnight at the hospital. They have better pain killers as well! I am drinking my first Protein Shake as I type this. I didnt have any problems with Jello or broth. I slept in the recliner which helps in getting up and down. I just wanted to say "Thank You all" for all the help and support. Most people may not have realized your help, but just asking simple questions helps others who may not have thought of that. So now I wait and learn how to slow down my eating although I am not hungry yet. That will come I am sure. Thank you, J

Hi joecs1! I was also banded on Tuesday! I drank 1 Protein Drink yesterday and didn't have any problems. But I did attempt to sleep on my bed last night which was not a good idea. I wound up moving to my recliner at about 4 am.... good luck with everything!!

Hi Joe,

Congrats!!! :rolleyes: I was told I have a Hiatal Hernia too. :ohmy: My date is July 16th. I'll find out then what size we're talking about? It must complicate the situation. Keep us informed with your progress. I'll be interested in hearing how it goes. Well you made it, now just take it one day at a time. You should feel better in a few days!!

Good Luck,

Carol D' :rolleyes:

I was banded on Tuesday as well!!! It was very breezy for me, in and out of the hospital. My surgery was at 11:30...and out by 3:30.

I have tried tried tried to get liquids down... but I have been having the gurggiing were I feel like it wants to come back up. Other then that, and a slight shortness of breathing, I am doing fine. Pain is still there but not unbearable like the first 2 days.

I am so excited for my fellow Tuesday bandits... lets keep in touch and share our stories!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
