I'm 3 days out and feeling better...walking helps with the gas and bloating. Soreness is centralized in one area which I believe is where my port is....I actually got down some cream of brocolli soup and it was yummy and no side effects! I'm feeling more and more confident everyday and my family/friends support is very much needed and appreciated! Hope all the other june bandsters are doing well on their journey...actually hope all banders past present and future has an amazing journey!

I was also banded 6/4 and everyday I feel better. The heating pad was a life saver. I'm hoping to take a trip to New Mexico on the 20th. I hope I'm feeling whole again by then.

I got banded June 1, no pain, just hunger pains. Last 8 lbs so far. Some days are easier than others.

I was banded on 4th too ..I may try the cream soups..I tried egg drop soup tonight but it was nasty. What other things are yoe eating? I would love to stay in touch with y'all.

I just had my surgery today and I am feeling pretty good! I am anxious to eat some cream of broccoli in a day or two. I am starting to feel a little hungry tonight, but a little afraid to eat much. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!!

I'm drinking protein shakes, popicles, and yougurt drinks, jello. I'm on liquids until the 15th.

Congrats to all the new bandsters

I was banded on the fifth and was told clear liquids for three full days because the stomach is so sore and going through such a trial... But you're having thick protien shakes on day two? It's so odd that different drs ave different rules yet we all basically had the same operation

I was banded on the 1st and I am on clear liquids till the 14th then I can progress to full liquids. We all really have different rules.

I was banded yesterday and am on clear liquids but my dr told me to go at my own pace. He sd if after a couple of days of clear I am doing good, then I can advance to full liquids. So, yeah there are many different opinions as to how to proceed...

I am on day 1 and can start full liquids now!

Erin313,

I was excited to see you posted. I had been waiting to see how things went for you.

I was banded on the 5th (Tuesday) and am home on full liquids. So far so good. Yesterday was on small amounts of clears in the hospital. I have tried the protein drinks, a few spoonfulls of yogurt and broth. Not really hungry yet but know I will be. Discouraged because I have gained weight so far and am above where I was preop, Glad to hear how my fellow banders are doing.
