One week out

Well I must say that I don't think it went TOO badly this week. Pain wise was maybe a 2 at the worst, but once I started taking the meds regularily for pain there was nothing.

Today I weighed myself and I'm down 23 pds since the beginning of March, and 9 pds since getting banded. I'm VERY happy with this. 257 today! :clap2: At this rate I"ll be under 250 in another week. I can't believe it! So cool - and I"m not even hungry ever at all! :faint:

I did develop some sort of reaction to the pain pills I think - or at least thats what they're thinking. On my face around my mouth area, and around the incisions there is a few red itchy spots. I was advised to stop taking the pain meds and use x-tra strength tylenol instead, get some benedryl and cream to stop the itch. I still have the bumps around my mouth, but the rest of me is getting better.

More later!
