One week into my new life

By ssmom

· 394 views

Here I am one week past my banding and now its time to get productive. My incisions do not hurt, just tender around port, and I should be able to wear a bra, incisions are right where the bottom of the bra goes. So what to do? Can I swim yet, no but in a week according to dr. Can I pull weeds? No that is too much on my port which is right on my waist line. So my productivity will have to be in web and writing. BORING Oh well, at least a good walk or two with my girls will help.

 

I did go to the dr yesterday and everything was great! Lost 12 bs since last dr vist.

 

Still drinking drinking drinking and just happy for the soups that have more taste.

 

This is a long process and this is just the start, I have to be patient.l

    Sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up! PS try the bear creek powdered soups! They are really good and since you add the water you can make them as thick or thin as you like. They helped me get through my 2 weeks of liquids. :)

    I just had surgery today!!! ahhhh i feel pretty good. I'm not hungry at all, but I feel weak from not eating. So I'm trying to eat. Did you feel that way? Pain is a minimum. I know i need to eat. I ate some tomato soup. and i think I stood up too fast because i felt nauseated. Sound familiar at all?
