Banded Yesterday

[ktsped 42]

My surgery was yesterday April 16th. So far doing okay...I have a sore throat. Did this happen to anyone else? I didn't expect this...

I had a sore throat, but I figured it was either from possible tubing from surgery, the acid reflux from the hiatal hernia repair, or just simply the fact I was so dehydrated. I coped with Halls Breezers fruit pectin drops, to at least sooth and have some salvia going on.

I was also banded 4/16 and I fee great. No sore throat and the gas pains have been minimal. I feel pretty great. No shoulder pain either.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Soups? The chicken broth I had was not very good....

[Boniluuu 25]

I have blended broc and cheese Soup. Tortilla soup,oyato soup,

[Boniluuu 25]

Potato soup.... Thin the Soups with milk or Water and blend it up.

Some of us have gone through some emotional feelings. If you do also its normal.

I had my band on the 17th.. Still feeling uncomfortable... they found a hiatal hernia and repaired that. I had a reaction to the paid meds so only taking tylenol... the gas is prob the worse pain I think... Trying to find some creamy Soups to have... Also been drinking Protein Drinks, popsicle, and crystal light. Hoping to feel better tomorrow.

I was banded the 18th. My doc wants me to stay on clears and Protein Shakes for one week. I want creamy soup!!!

So enjoy your Soup for me. I'm not really hungry, just empty feeling. And I'd buy a fart if I could get one. Dang it's uncomfortable.

A heating pad will help with the gas pains as well as getting up and walking as much as possible. Jello is also good for Clear Liquids as well.

Heating pad has helped. My doc has me on Miralax, milk of mag and enemas too. It gets me temporary relief. Im guessing I have a touch of an ileus. I think tomorrow will be a better day.

I am on day 4 of post op. and I was hoping this morning the pain would subside some. Can anyone tell me how long before the discomfort from moving goes away?

I had my surgery on April 13 which was a Friday and by Thursday I was feeling 100% better. When I woke up I had a sore feeling near my port but I just put an ice pack on it and it went right away.

I am still sore also and had mine on the 17th. I guess we just have to give it some time.
