I had it done this morning, still very sore and in pain. I brought my tablet to the hospital so i'll try to check in later

Congrats!!!!!

Good luck to you! I am 8 days post-op. Days 3-4 were really hard for me but they passed and I am doing much better. Keep your mind occupied and you will do great!

I'm just post-op also. 6th day today and now I can have tasty shakes instead of clear liquid!! Lordy I hate Jello!!

What an adventure this is!!!

CONGRTS! Welcome to your journey. Remember this is not another diet its a lifestyle, you will have ups and downs but the outcome is so worth it. I've been banded since 2009 and no longer have diabetes 2, high cholesteral, sleep apnea or high blood pressure. Take measurements as sometimes you loose size and not pounds. It's not a compitition its YOUR LIFE! Wishing a speedy recovery and a great life!

Thanks! The doctor wants to keep me overnight. Pain killers kicking, gotta go.

Its been about 12hrs since my surgery. I had hiccups for a few minutes but other than that, I haven't had any other issues. (besides the general pains of surgery). Been walking around the hospital floor and I haven't had any nausea. All they are giving me is ice. So far so good.

I was banded yesterday afternoon and let me tell you last night sucked! I couldn't sleep for more than 15 minutes, I was in pain no matter what position I was in. Luckily today I much better. Still very gassy but I'm trying to walk a lot. I hope tonight I can gets some sleep.

I had about 3-4 hours of sleep last night. This morning, the hospital gave options instead of water. They gave me an Adkins vanilla shake, tea, broth, diet jello and apple juice. I was able to drink the apple juice, half the shake and one spoonful of jello. I'm stuffed. I also feel a lot of pressure, gas probably.

Congrats to you! And Whitney, I was banded June 14 and it was excruciating for me too!!!

Congrats & good luck! 10 days post op for me. Make sure you rest as much as your body tells you too!

I'm also on day 9. I went back to work today and am very tired tonight. I had some mashed potatoes and cream of wheat today. I didn't really feel much better until about day 6-7. I stayed overnight and had a lot of issues with nausea on day 2 and styled another night. Feeling much better now, not much "gas" pain and walking the dog. Hang in there everyone and it'll get better!!!

Im 10 days post op. Feel great & down 19 lbs! Rice bag was my friend for shoulder pain. Day 4 life became a lot easier. Congratulations!
