3 days lap band post op

Today I am 3 day lap band post op. The first two days were really a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I slept most of the time, I was in some pain so I took the Lortab liquid and it zonked me out. I don't think I got my 24-48 ounces of water it. Yesterday was a little better after I got up and started walking around the house. I walked for about 30 minutes in my house about 3 times. Drank some more water, but I couldn't tolerate anything else. I tried Jello, which I love Jello, it made me nauseated. I was able to drink a little Frui****er. I wasn't in too much pain so I didn't take the lortab. I feel alot better waking up this moring. So I am going to get me a good shower put on some clothes and sip sip sip and then take me a short walk to the corner or something when the sun comes fully out. I can't believe it's cold outside. WTH.

You are on the right path -- sip, sip sip ....move, move, move. It does get better and I will be waiting to hear all your success stories. Banded down the road, Frances

Thanks but I don't know. I have to call my Dr. I don't know if I should share this, but I have not had a BM yet and now I am 4 or 5 days post op.

Your bowels might still be a little sleepy from the anesthesia. It took me almost a week before I had my first BM too. But if you feel weirded out by anything, it won't hurt to give your doctor a call. Good luck!

Congratulations! It sounds like you're doing just great. Hope your recovery continues to go well!
