Make sure you are really well hydrated. I ate about 4 o clock the afternoon before and then nothing till after my fill. I believe they say you shouldnt eat 5 or 6 hours before a fill i played it cautious.
i went through a few days of nausea between about day 7 and 10. I just tried to power through it and once i got on yogurts and a few other things it seemed to have gotten better
Congrats on making the best decision of your life. The OCC is the most wondervul cleanest state of the art place. The staff are amazing and before you know it you will be banded and starting your new life. I was banded june 28th and in all am down 30 pounds.
21 days of liquid post op was an absolute grind for me. I just krp telling myself i have ate enough solid food in my life that 3 weeks with out wont kill me. I thought of things like when i am at my goal weight how good i am gonna look in new clothes. or when i have lost a 100 pounds and see somebody i ahvent seen in like a year how blown away they will be and how good that will feel. Keep your mind busy and you will do great
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for there support, positive comments and all the questions you have answered. Today is day 21 of Post op and i dont think i would have made it without you guys
Take gas x strips, walk around as much as possible in the hours and days after surgery (gets the gas out) and dont be alarmed by the paper underwear we all had to wear them
Honestly the last week has been horrible. First 7 or 8 days wasnt hungry. Then started on Yogurt and full liquids and had 3 days of very upset tummy and a few days of moderate hunger. last week has been horrible. i hear ya when it comes to protein shakes and creamy soup not cutting it. I work an oilfield joba nd have been out of town the last week to boot and have had a hard time. Ive been trying fruit smoothies and milkshakes and they havent helped either. Tomorrow is day 21 post op for me and i am looking forward to smaller portions of real food
