Today was the first day I woke up with no shoulder pain....yay! :) Im still experiencing left side "runner cramp" type pain, but at least im getting relief even if its going at a slow pace. I can not wait to move up to soft foods.....i dont want to look at Soup for a long ass time :)

I haven't had the shoulder pain but I have been having the cramp also on my left side right under my ribs. I called the Bariatric Center this afternoon because I haven't had a BM since before surgery. My husband picked up some type of powder laxative that I mixed in my beef broth. Waiting patiently ;) I had been shopping today with my daughter and the cramp was really bothering me when I was walking around. Thinking that could be the reason....

My doc recommends milk of magnesia to get things moving. I recommend just the half dosage. I still have shoulder pain :(

Good luck with journey...at least for me..Understand the things that I figured out: YOUR GOING TO BE SWOLLEN!! Still get your intake of liquids. Those are very much needed. TAKE SOME TYPE OF PAIN MEDS..I only used my Hydrocodone once..and thought since Im not in that much pain that I dont need it..But at least take Ibuprophen. It will help with the swelling and the pain. WHEN YOU ALLOWED TO EAT!! .....EAT!! I went into my first post op appt..thinking everything was getting stuck, and that I couldnt eat..and barely drink. Well..you can eat and drink..I had malnurished and dehydrated myself. As far as mushie foods....good luck..their gross..lol..I pureed some Campbells vegetable Soup...*GAG!! lol..

Good luck to you Mommy of 7.

Merry Christmas!!

I had my lapband replaced yesterday 12/20/13. I had surgery at 7am and was out the door by 11am. The dr said I had quite a bit of scar tissue and the 10cc band was indeed too small for me. He said everything went perfect. I was very nauseous and in pain so they gave me meds n when I felt better I was walking to my car and my dad drove me home (1.5 hours). I walked and walked around the house. I woke up today and my word.... The worst pain ever is from the trapped gas. My shoulders and back are killing me. My port incision hurts a lot so I use my legs n arms to compensate .... So my legs feels like I did a thousand squats and my arms feel like I lifted 100lbs lol. So I'm just sore ALL over. I have 0 appetite ... But I got 1.5 Protein Atkins shake down and half a can of really milky cream of chicken Soup w out the chicken chunks. Strained it. Instead of 5 incisions I only have 2. But hey whatever works. If this gas would go away, I'm sure I'll feel a lot better. I have gas x strips. Don't find much relief. Heating pad and hot shower helps more.

Here's for round two for me!

Wow, I couldn't imagine doing the surgery as outpatient! That is what my insurance wanted but I told my doctor to find a reason to keep me overnight. I hope you have a restful night and feel better tomorrow. The gas is the worst part of the surgery for sure, I still have bloating, wish this gas would all go away.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
