Thank you. It wasnt really that bad at all! kinda feels a like when you exercise ur abs the day after but more intense. I only have three incisions and was walking really quick. The cc's r how much saline is put in the bag. My band is a 10cc band n i have 6 already so im hoping it will be easier to adjust to. Good luck on ur surgery! it will be here before u know it

It's good that you already have Fluid. Please be extra careful not to over eat. Chew your food to mush and follow your doctors orders. You won't have the luxury of learning how eat with little restriction. I was started with 5cc. 3 years ago. I didn't have this site or the information that I do now. I thought that "sliming" and "PBing" we're going to be the norm of my banded life. Now I know differently. Best of luck to you and congrats on your new birthday!

My doctor recommended me to get the iband. Have u heard of that? It's when u get a lap band and a new procedure called gastric plication with it. They fold the stomach with stitches to make it smaller and then lap band same kind of incisions. I'm still deciding what to do. Very difficult to decide. Lmk if you heard of it. Thanks

Wow my Dr waits 4 weeks for the first fill. I have had the little burpies even with nothing in my band, that must be the stomach swelling from the surgery. Good luck welcome to the other side :)

Had mine today. So this is my first "post surgery" post.

Sore at the port site. Everything is just as I expected. Pain in left shoulder but not too bad. About a 3.

Had about a 1/4 of water.and felt overly full. So couple of hours later I had half a SF Popsicle for dinner. Need something with more substance since I do feel a little hunger.

Hubs making chicken noodle Soup for us tomorrow. Looking forward to that.

I went through it. It reminded me of my post partum depression. I do not know how to describe the feeling except everything made me sad. I felt regret in what I just did. IDK

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
