Hi Krystle, was banded yesterday too! But only allowed Water for 24 hours, then clear fluids for the rest of the day.

How are you feeling? Do you abdominal muscles hurt? I'm really sore!

Teena

My drs orders were just Clear Liquids for first 3 days and even that was difficult, due to swelling. Warm tea was helpful.

Best wishes!

I am verry sore and get sharp pains in port

Ok good this is normal then. I just took another does of codeine to see if it helps. I didn't feel much relief from it last night though.

I was banded yesterday too! They had me on ice chips all yesterday, today and the next week I'm on clear liquids. I haven't had to much pain so I'm greatful for that! My incision is only slightly sore but I only had one incision!

I'm 2 1/2 wks out and port site is just now not causing discomfort. The swelling would go up & down there all day.

Weird how every doctor is so different. I was told Water only, no ice chips. I can't believe you only have one incision - how lucky are you!

Pain Meds don't give me much relief...I can't sit up by myself still...the pain in my stomache is almost unbearable...today is day four. Yesterday I had a Popsicle and I enjoyed it, however after eating it, I had intense pain for about fifteen mins after making it hard to breathe. Still waiting for the uncomfortable pain to subside.

Oh that doesn't sound good. I've had 2 C-sections prior to this, and I would consider this a breeze compared to then!

I was told clear and full liquids working up to 64 oz a day.. Popcicles' date=' Jello pudding broth diltued juice, Water Protein shakes[/quote']

First 48 hrs dr said worst of swelling. I had hernia repair too. Just try and sip, sip sip. I know first 48hrs only got about 20 oz. of just plain Water. After that got better and better every day. Now after 2 wks I can drink all the 64 oz and then some.

Hang in there!

I was banded last Friday 10/26/12. Today is my last day of Clear Liquids. Tomorrow i can add ensure, yogurt, and fat free pudding. I am so excited! I am so sick of Gatorade and chicken broth!

Yeah my surgeon went in thru my belly button so once the glue comes off I won't have a noticeable scar!

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
