I'm on the other side finally!!

I'm two days out from surgery and although I am sore (which I expect), I feel good mostly, just a little tired after taking the pain meds. Trying to get the liquids in is a challenge. I feel like right now I'm focussed on drinking, drinking, drinking. I drank about 88oz before but trying to get in 64 oz now is diffcult. I get that full feeling and know I have to stop until I feel the fluid make it down to the lower part of the stomach. I had a couple bouts with nausea the first day and evening, but none since. They seemed to happen just when I finished walking. I think I'm past it now as I haven't had that feeling since day one.

I've only taken the pain med once so far today so that's an improvement. Anyway, I'm happy to be on the other side of being banded and moving on with the whole process.

Big WOOT!! to Dr. Sarah Lee in Tucson/Oro Valley, AZ. and her terrific staff.

Started journey the same day! Best of luck. Small, slow, and steady.

Had my surgery on Monday, and I know that every day is going to be better than the day before! Keep sipping that water - and keep up the good work!
