I got my band today???? so far so good, main pain is in my back, lower left side of back just aches, been using a heating pad on it, liquid pain meds are gross, water, juice and broth all going down fine:) glad to join this side????

good job. liquid pain med. is gross. lol I chewed Vicodin, not to bad in taste.

I got all liquid pain meds, liquid antibiotic.....I now know why kids throw the stuff up......liquid Vicodin......makes me want to be a Kid and throw up lol, and a meltable anti nausea tab, that is sooo bitter lol, but hey thank goodness for meds!!!!!

Congrats! The week ahead may have a few bumps but stay strong! You've got this!

Congrats!

I was lucky - only took half dose of that liquid Vicodin first day and half. It gets better!

Congratulations !! Welcome to the other side ! Glad to hear that all is well. As far a pain meds go, I think they were disgusting too !! If I remember right I took liquid Tylenol if needed after the 2nd day. I don't remember being in alot of pain, just really sore on the left side. Hopefully as you rest and walk for the next few days you'll feel better. Stay strong ! You got this !!

Congrats on the surgery! Don't think I used any pain meds at all after mine.

Congrats... Welcome to the other side. I hope you start to feeling better.

Congrats on surgery!! Now the journey begins!

Congrats on your big step! It may be a rough week so keep your chin up and know it DOES get better!

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement, they also has to repair a hernia, so I don't know if that is adding to the pain, but overall I feel good, I'm starting to feel hungry, but know better then to eat anything solid lol

Feeling hunger is a good sign. It lets you know the anesthesia is pretty much out of your system and liquids should no longer make you queezy
