finally....

So i finally had my surgery on the first of July. I gotta say it wasnt what i expected. I was in a great deal of pain the day i left the hospital from the gas and i expected that what i didnt expect was how fast the incision pain subsides. well the doctor did mention that ill be back to normal in no time but i thought he was just saying that so i wont get too scared but Im on day 6 and im pretty much back to normal except for the itching....boy do they itch. now im in the liquid diet stage. Is it just me or does anyone else wanna eat every damn thing in sight just cause you cant have it? I crave every thing! I never thought that i would ever miss chewing but after 6 days of drinking I need to chew.:frown:

Congrats on your surgery. You are one of us now. lol. But you can not eat every thing in sight because the band will not let you. You will get sick and throw up if you eat over what you should or eat somthing that you can not.. So take it slow, you are on a great journey.. All the best to you...

Congratulation on your surgery. It's good to hear you say it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, because I'm scheduled for july 12 and I'm so at ease it's scary.

Congratulations and yes it's a pretty simple and painless process by day 3 I was back to normal. Welcome to the other side! Gum and flavored toothpicks helped me.. I know people will say no to the gum because of the air but I chewed it with now problems.
