Ok surgery over' date=' feeling sore and uncomfortable more than pain. The upper shoulders and chest from gas is the worse, my 5 incisions are various sizes, 1 about 1 1/2 in being the largest. My problem I have a nauseous feeling and I don't want to eat, only got down 2 of my 5 shakes yesterday and only about 16 oz. of Water. My shake is going down a bit better this morning hope this goes away soon and the soreness goes quicker, down 2 lbs this morning. I think I want something in my mouth to chew well maybe with some substances but have to wait 2 weeks for that don't I . I did have about 1/2 sf popsicle last night it helped, (don't think I was suppose to have it ? ) Would like to hear from others who have just had their lapband done are we on the same boat LOL and best wishes to all November banders[/quote']

I had surgery yesterday. I can't say that I am in pain but definitely uncomfortable. I am fine walking but turning over or trying to get out of bed are interesting. My dieticians gave one set of instructions & discharge paperwork another so I have to clarify that today. Otherwise all is well on my journey.

My pain is not bad either. I do have sharp pains in my gas I'm hoping it's gas. I can only sleep on my left side.

I'm down 2 lbs from yesterday. I can't get down hardly any liquids. I'm mostly scared of throwing up so im afraid of drinking. Also afraid of taking my Vitamins. Most of my pain is in my chest feel like a sharp knife digging inside of me.

Is your juice no sugar added? 4 oz wow. I can barely do 1 oz. I'm afraid of drinking too fast and throwing up

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
