Day 2 After Banded

Well,

Day two post-op has come and gone, went out shopping with my mom for a few hours to get out of the house. Pain isint as bad as i thought it would be, I take tylenol now for my sore throat from the breathing tube i had during surgery. Taking it one day at a time. REALLLLYYY looking forward to finally moving onto the next stage in my diet where i actually get to eat something other than clear liquids, yes its pureed but at this point idc!!! this broth and water n gelatin isint cutting it or making me feel "full" at all. Unfortunately i also havnt been eating that much because i havnt really had an appetite, my mom is tryin to make sure i eat but its so hard when i have no desire to. Sleeping has gotten a lot easier, since i have always been a side sleep or belly sleeping on my back was difficult but now im able to lay on my one side with no problems.

Incisions are really starting to itch, and its soo hard not to put lotion on them to calm it down but i know i cant. my 8 staples are coming out monday afternoon!! Cant wait!!. and i took my first post-op shower today, the hot water felt amazing on my sore shoulders, made sure i didnt soak my incisions, and i feel cleaner now thankfully.

IDK why but to me it still seems like i had nothing other than a regular surgery done. My stomach doesnt feel any different but that is prob due to the fact im still on only liquids. well see how tomorrow goes..

Well thats my update so far, I dont think i forgot anything......

Well,

I am day 6 and the first two days I rested because I was really bloated. Day three I felt so much better after my Gas X and Milk of Mag and I haven't had to take any tylenol. I am looking forward to week 2 which is tomorrow for me I can bump it up to thick liquids. I am so board with broth, water, gelatin and popsicles. I am not in any pain still a little in the shoulder but very mild. OMG, the incisions itch like crazy and I just scratch around them for confort as much as possible. I am sleeping on my side now and turning pretty good without precaution. I had a shower Wednesday and oh boy so refreshing and juvenating. I went out shopping on Thursday and it was very hard for me, so I tried it again today and it was much better I even drove my car. Progressing and moving forth.

Talk to everyone soon.
