Hey there, congratulations on your surgery and here you are already! Just follow your instructions to the 't' and you will do beautifully. One of the things I had to learn about my banded life is that hunger is not the enemy. Out of control appetite, yes. I had been so screwed up for so many years it took a while to get in touch with my hunger and really feel it. I have to say it's a beautiful thing to be in sync with my body again. The early healing stages are a good time to practice listening in to the body. You'll need that later! And don't pay attention to any one else's post-op instructions, just yours. Best wishes!

Congratulations on being banded. Yes unfortunately you're going to be hungry for a while. This stage is the hardest and most crucial part. I can't iterate enough how you mustn't deviate from your orders. Keep on sipping and you'll do just fine. Best wishes to you.

Ugh I've read so much on this forum about days after. Today is the 3rd and this morning was awful. I think the shot to deaden my belly has officially worn off. I do get up and walk around and I look kinda hunch backed. I'm still not sure what sliming is yet but I keep coughing up fat loogies. Sorry if that's gross I have been sleeping about 4 hours at a time. Only other thing is that it feels like something is stuck although all I have had is liquids. I know this is just part of the healthy process, it just isn't a cake walk.

I just had lapband surgery with plication on Thursday and I feel pretty awful! The first day I got home, I threw up 6 times, yesterday was 2 and today I've only gagged a couple of times.

I have only managed to keep down about 1/2 of a sugar free Popsicle and small sips of Water.

Hang in there. I had the band and plicationn and was pretty miserable. Days 2 and 3 were the hardest for me and it gradually started improving By day 6, I felt like I was seeing normal again.

Thank you for giving me hope that it will get better, it actually is already! Thank goodness, I went to a little church service tonight and managed to sit there about an hour. By the time we were leaving, I begged my mom to get me home ASAP to the suppositories for nausea. I would also like to say that I'm much happier being at home than in a hospital, the way I moan and groan and twist sometimes would be embarrassing! lol

Day 5 post op. My pain meds are still important to me. I went out to the drug store today and walked around. The walking helps my gas. Keep up the good work

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
