Newly Banded- Just had my surgery yesterday!

[lea3277 6]

I just had my lapband surgery yesterday and I am doing sooo much better than I expected I would. Of course, I'm super sore but I haven't been sick or anything. I am drinking quite a bit of Water and apple juice though and I am wondering if that's a problem. What did you guys intake the first couple days after surgery?

I had mine yesterday too! I was terrified but it went pretty well! And I'm feeling good as long as I keep up with my medication Definitely still pretty sore. I've mostly been drinking Water. I'm trying to be constantly sipping on it. I've had a little Soup but if I took my guess I've maybe had a half cup total between yesterday and today. I'm just not that hungry. Hopefully that can last until the end of the week when I start full liquids! I hope you continue feeling well!!!

It is important to stay hydrated - so drink, drink, drink. It is no unusual to not feel like drinking or have that "full" feeling. I was on Clear Liquids for 3 days - had to drink 2oz every hour plus Water throughout the day. My clears included - decaff coffe, tea, no sugar added juices, crystal lite, sugar free koolaid, sugar free Jello, broth. gatorade, sugar free popsicles - loved the italian ice.

Thanks guys......I was a little hungry tonight so I heated up some Campbell's Soup at Hand. Just noticed my popsicles aren't sugar free and I have eaten a couple of those today.....hope the fact that they aren't sugar free won't hurt me too bad! I obviously picked up the wrong box! I'm so excited about this!

Congratulations. You made it. Just broth, Water and clear stuff for me after I had my surgery. I didn't get hungry for a couple of days. After about 4 days in the liquids just didn't hold me so I called my doc and he ok'd thicker Soups. Just keep in touch with your doc and get your questions answered from him/her whenever you can.

You'll do great!!!
