Hello All you fellow bandsters. I couldn't stand it pain or no pain I had to get on LBT. So I sit at my computer with a pillow pressed against my stomach and not very comfortable. BUT I'M THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!! I GOT MY BAND!!!

I think the gallbadder surgery went so well it tricked me into thinking this would be a piece of cake.... Man that sounds yummy!!! Just kidding. I'm only sip,sip,sipping on liquids!!!! Any way I've deffenitly had lots more discomfort with the band surgery so far. My stomach muscles feel like I got kicked by a horse about five times. But no nausea/vomiting / no problems with liquid so far. I actually can feel that my band is there. I take a little sip of Water and it feels as though I can tell where my band is and that it is going through it and it sorda bubbles,if you know what I mean.Glad to be home and over the worst part. I do hope tomorrow will be a little less painful.

You guys would have loved to have seen me. I got home from hospital and decided I would go lay in my bed and I could not get out of it. I felt like a beached whale that coudn't get back in the ocean. LOL!!! Finally I was able to get up and it was not tearless. It hurt like hurt never hurt before. Now I will not make that mistake again and I will be sleeping in the recliner tonight!!!!Other than that . I am able to drink about 3-4 oz of Water an hour comfortably and I haven't venchured to any thing else except a little applejuice. Will post more as I feel better. Thank you all for getting me this far and I'm so glad you will all be here for me through the stages to come.

I GOT MY BAND !!!!!(((HUGS TO ALL)))) Formerly Banster wanna be!!! But I'm finally a bandster!!! Yippi!!!!

Congratulations Jamie!

Take it easy for the next few days. I think you'll see that the pain subsides a little more with each passing day. Just don't try to do too much right now, get lots of rest, walk when you can and rely on others to help get you out of chairs and your bed for a couple of days. You're going to do fantastic, you have a great attitude. :)

Jamie - It really does get better every day. :) I slept in the recliner for a couple of days too, it was just easier getting up and down.

Whooooo Hooooo! You made it!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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.
