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!

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!

      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.
