Banded 1st February

[slimbydecember]

Hi guys

Just wanted to say I am officially a bandit! Came out hospital yesterday with all sorts of medications!!

Even got injections for blood thinning? Anyone else had to give themselves injections?

Just drinking squash at the moment and have quite a bit of shoulder pain but feeling alot better than 2 days ago!

Congrats!!! Move about gently now and then and get some wind relief medicine and it should help shift it. Like deflatine or gripe water or something.
Hope you have a nice quick recovery and looking forward to helping you on your band journey xx
Have a look at the two links below my signature xxx

Hi Slim - Just wanted to welcome you to the growing pack of banders on here!

Hope you are recovering well from surgery; the shoulder pain is probably the after effects of the anaesthetic. Keep sipping away on the liquids hun x You will soon feel much better.

Why do you have to have to have blood - thinning injections, if you don`t mind me asking?, as I have not heard of this before.


Take care hun x




Love Kat x

Hi

Glad everything went ok. I had the blood thinning injections too, luckily the nurse showed me how to do them in the hospital so I was ok.

Good luck on your journey x

Hiya i have not posted for a while was meant to be banded end of december but was cancelled due to snow am now 6 days post op!! i too have got the shoulder pain it is awful on times starting to ease now!! getting fed up of liquids but have to follow the rules!! how are you doing?? i have a 10ml band with 4 ml put in at op am only managing maybe 1 pint os ss milk 1.5l of squash and 1 soup per day feel extremely full not sure if its down to the 4 ml in the band or due to swelling from surgery but have lost 7lb since saturday!! hope your doing ok!! keep the fluids going

Hiya,

For me the shoulder pain has been more nagging than where the incisions were made. They just ache a bit when I move whereas the shoulder pain is constant.

Took tramadol yesterday and pretty much slept most of yesterday day and night away.

Trying to make sure i'm drinking 50ml every 10 - 20 mins but in between sleeping it doesn't mean i'm drinking very much.

Can have yoghurt and soup tomorrow and I can't wait!

Congratulations on your Op Hunny..

Welcome to the ''Bandit'' life..

I also had to do blood thinning injections (2 weeks worth to be exact)

The mind boggles for me, when i read how quickly other banders are aloud thicker consistency after surgery..

Here in the West Midlands @ Walsall Manor, we have to do 4 weeks of liquids, 4 weeks of custard consistency(Purée) then.. 4 weeks of Mashed foods, then slowly introduce food! :sigh:

But anyway..

Good luck with your weight-loss journey, keep us posted!
