OK I'm Banded!!

This is it, I am here and saying that I have been banded. It was a little bit of a rough road this week but I'm getting better every day. It has been 4 days since I have been banded. The day after surgery was rough. I'm not even going to lie. The second day was even worse but since I got home I seem to be improving more and more. I wish I lost my appetite like every one else. I am constantly hungry but then when I go to eat somthing ....it tastes gross. All the things I am allowed to eat are not my favorate. I have the notorious shoulder pain that everyone has been talking about and I now have a very annoying headache. I would love to just feel better and be able to get on the floor with my kids again. I gained 8 pounds after I got home but then lost it immidiatley....I think it was from all the IV fluids. I can't take the pain meds they prescribed because they make me naucious. Liquid tylenol has been pretty good though. Just to wrap this up ....at this point I would love nothing more than a chicken parm sub and then a nap on my stomach. Both I can't do.
