First blog [8/24/08]!

My first blog of many to come. I was banded 8/21/08 and am so excited to be fully recovered and to lose weight! I've decided to track my daily intake so I can look back if I ever need to.

I'm still on my first 5 days of clear liquids so this will be a small list.

Half a bottle of Vitamin Water about 4oz.

1 can of chicken broth.

1 cup of sugar-free vanilla pudding.

I'm still having a hard time telling the difference between being hungry or gassy.:confused2: Hopefully this all subsides with time.

How are you doing with sleeping, can you feel the port?? I plan on going back to work 5 days post op how are you sleeping?

Congratulations!

How is your energy level? Are you taking anything for the gas?

Angcal26 -Sleeping has been pretty easy, of course I have my pain medication to help me. I've been up a couple of times, but overall it wasn't too bad.

Annecolorgreen- My energy level has been somewhat normal, I think a lot of the grogginess has something to do with the pain meds. As far as the gas goes, I'm taking GasX Strips which seem to help pretty well!
