DAY 3 AFTER BANDING

Had the best sleep of all last nite. Found that sleeping on my right side with a small pillow on my stomach is very comfortable. No stretching or pinching sensations. Went and had my hair cut and colored today. That was fun and sorely needed, for if I am to become a new woman, I have to look like one. So I went bolder and better with the cut and color. Was alittle sore after Sitting up in that chair for so long. I am wondering how to make the "Angry Bird" sensation in my stomach go away. I get the Hungry GROWLS and/or a rolling Growl that I think the whole world can hear. Its not like I am hungry, but that growling is not very comfortable. Any suggestions ? So far so good. I have been taking short walks down the driveway (Its long) and that is enough to wear me out. My hubby has been very good with fixing his own meals for the last 3 days, I did make a special trip to the Groc store and purchased something that he doesnt have to microwave. LOL...Got a sample at the deli for sandwich meats and thought I would fall over when she handed me the piece of turkey and cheese. Seriously...that was WAY too much to TASTE. Never would I have thought that In a million years. LOL...Interesting how your perspective changes and you can get full on a tiny sample of food. I am supposed to go back to work on Tuesday and hoping that the "SITTING" part gets easier. As I sit at a desk all day. Any suggestions about the GROWLING would be greatly appreciated ! Take Care BAndsters...:lol:

Time heals everything!!! You should be good to go by Tuesday but remember it will be your first day back and expect to be tired & a little worn out. Make sure you pre plan your meals. This will make your day a lot smoother. When you get home you will be hungry and tired. If possible while you are at work get up and walk around as often as possible..this will help you heal better & quicker! Your first 4-6 weeks is really your healing phase..yes you lose weight but it really is to lay the ground for which the rest of your journey..the better you heal the better your journey will be. This growling your hear is more than likely the gases they used the bloat your tummy in order to do the procedure..it is just rumbling around. Stay happy! Having a positive attitude will allow you to reach your goals! Take care!
