So today is day 4 and I feel like a new women!! The soreness is still there but tolerable. The hungry gargling feelig has subsided and I can not tolerate my required liquids so much better. I got on the scale and I have dropped 7 lbs since the morning of surgery!! I'm goi to continue to keep moving and sit up but sleeping has been a big help in healing for me. Good luck to all banders and to all this who have been sick too I hope today is your day!!

Lb love

Oops I can NOW... Stupid touch phones

Yeah! Good luck on your journey!

Congrats! It is amazing how much one night's sleep can change things. Continued success to you!

Day 4 for me too - and feeling much better! The "pain" is really just soreness (except for the port site - that still hurts when the pain meds wear off). Still haven't slept for a long stretch yet, but am getting plenty of rest. The gas seems to have finally subsided - which ROCKS!! I am about to go on my first "field trip" = to Whole Foods to get some liquid stevia and check out their selection of Protein powders & shakes. Whoo Hoo! Hopefully that will go smoothly...

So glad you seem to be feeling better too! My first post-op check-up is next Thursday the 28th. I'm excited to see what the scale says then. (I have my own scale - and it seems to be going down - but I don't totally tust it I guess... LOL) Keep up the good work!

Glad to hear you are feeling so much better. Each day will be an improvement!
