Hi, I got banded on Wed., 2/16 too. My abdomen did not start to feel sore until the second day, which surprised me. The most uncomfortable was the gas in my shoulder and back. It is finally coming out little on day two. The anesthesia side effects knocked me on my butt!! The nausea on day one made me feel as if I wanted to vomit if I moved too much, but no vomiting at all so far. Fortunately, my throat was and has been pain free. I was worried I was going to wake up with a major sore throat after surgery, but did not.

I think the biggest issue I am having now is being physically hungry! In fact, STARVING!! I was able to start clear Proteins today, broth, ices, tea, Jello, but it just isn't cutting it. I woke up out of my sleep due to the hunger pains and now hoping a cup of bullion will suffice. I am going to call my surgeon tomorrow and see if it is possible I have some liquid Protein shakes as in pre-op. At least they satisfied me more! The lack of nutrients has also given me a headache. Anyone else experiencing this and have any suggestions? I know various surgeons have there stages in different lengths of time. I wish the best to the both of you!! We are going to do this and be successful!!

Hey all! yaaaay for uus! i was also banded on 2/16. My main issue is the chest pain and when i breath in it HURTS! i have lot of neck pain, which i know is gas. But man, taking deep breaths is not easy! My stomach is healing very well. i took all the bandages off yesterday. I too am feeling starving, but my doctor has me on strictly liquids. I'm drinkin Isopure, which is a Protein whey drink, apple juice, lots and lots of chicken broth, and sugar free pop sickles. i wish this chest and neck pain would go away!

I love the fact that we have eachother. no matter the issue i feel theres always someone who is or was in your shoes. I can't wait to hear about all of your success stories. we will do great! my best friend told me the other day... "just make sure you don't lose yourself" i guess going from being morbidly obese to one hot mama... haha you know what i mean :)

much love!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
