I am being discharged today and feeling good. Yesterday was really rough. I had my gallbladder removed at the same time and that caused a lot of pain in my back. I also vomited a few times from the pain meds. Once I got that under control and started walking I started feeling a million times better. Walking helps tremendously with the gas pain. Here is a tip- when you walk, hold a pillow over your stomach. It helps so much.

I've had no issues with drinking water or Broth. I also had Jello today. I am hoping it only gets better from here.

Good luck everyone!

Glad to hear you are doing so well. My surgery is tomorrow. I am sending you well wishes!

Glad to hear you are doing better today and feeling good. Congratulations on your surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Congrats! I had my lap band removed and was sleeved Monday. Monday was rough but each day I feel more normal. I'm not sure if the lap band caused more pain but I did get another puncture for that. I've had my gall bladder out and that was rough too but you'll be glad it's gone if you've had pain.

I ended up back in the ER this morning due to a UTI from the Catheter they used during surgery. I'm prone to them anyway but this one was bad. I'm back home now to recover. Sheesh! That was a mess.
