I having shoulder pain, and a small amount of tighness around my port. The shoulder pain is much worse. I am on clear liq, no problems so far. I guess i am just going through is this worth it. I know it will be, but it is hard to see right now.

I remember feeling the same way. I was banded on Oct. 13th. Right after I felt really good. Then with in like 24hours I started to feel like I was getting sick or something. I kept a close eye on my temp to make sure there was no infection. I did run a low grade temp for about 48 hours but it never went over 100. All I can say is don't stay at home and in bed no matter how bad you feel. Getting out will help the gas/shoulder pain. Try to find someone to drive you just to be on the safe side, but do get out and do something. You will start to feel better before you know it. Good luck........

the shoulder pain your feeling is normal- its the gas that they inflate your belly with to do the procedure. itll go away i promise. and even though you may not feel like it- walking helps with the gas... also, baby mylacon drops help bunches!

I had the same after a day or two . . . and I generally felt exhausted. However, within a week I was feeling pretty normal again with just a little soreness. It passes quickly . . . just make sure you get as much rest as you can, get in as much fluids and Proteins as you can and take it easy.

Just listen to your body if you feel like walking walk,if you feel like sleeping then rest.You'll get there before you know it!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
