Plugging along-Day 17 post op.

Hi readers...

 

I'm still plugging along but truthfully I am feeling hungry. I know that I will have to be strong during this period of time. It isn't horrendous but I still have about 5 weeks until my first fill. The reason being that I was to be filled in a few weeks but it will be 4 days before I go on a cruise...not a good idea to have a first fill and then be out of the country; right? So, I'm anticipating the surgeon putting it off until I come back from the cruise. Oh well...

 

I hope that when you get to that "sweet spot" you don't feel hungry any longer. Your lower stomach doesn't growl anymore? I get how you will only have a little bit of food before the pouch is full but what about the big bottom part? That seems to be where the growls come from; right?

 

I'm coming down with something (wicked sore throat) so I plan on going to bed early and calling it a night. One more day of being a good bander down... I know this is forever and there will be no end and I'm okay with it.

 

I hope if you are reading this that you are having a bandtabulous day!:D

I'm on day 21 post op, and yes, I can tell it's time for a fill too! The swelling has gone down so there is a lot less restriction, and I'm starting to feel more hungry than I have in weeks. They can't fit me in for another 4 weeks though, so I'm going to have to really watch myself.

Hope you are feeling better!!
