FOUR DAYS POST-OP & IN BANDSTER HEAVEN

By Carly

· 302 views

Well, I'm amazed to write that the first 4 days post-op have been WONDERFUL! I have had virtually NO pain (I can't even feel the incisions or port site), the liquid diet has been VERY manageable, and I already have restriction! Plus, I've dropped 7 lbs. since Wednesday! Gone forever!

 

I've been having a protein shake for breakfast and 1/2 C. of soup several times a day, plus lots of water with protein powder. Even these very small meals leave me full for hours!

 

I never imagined that I'd have restriction at this point. I feel like I'm at that elusive "sweet" spot I've read so much about, where you're completely satisifed with a very small amount of food. (Just one of many reasons that I chose the Lap-Band!) Maybe it's because my stomach is still swollen from surgery (although it's not sore in the least). Or perhaps I'm just one incredibly blessed Bandster! :party:
