First morning after band

As expected I had a tuff time getting out of bed. Now that I have been up a while I'm not hurting as bad. I am reading my instructions for Week one. Boy do I have a lot of different instructions. The Weight Management Center, The Dietitian's, the Nurse, and the Dr all gave me instructions. I will read them all but will follow the Dr's Booklet to the letter if possible. That means liquids for the next two weeks. Slim Fast Shakes, ready mix no powers. Sip every 20 seconds. 1 - 3 cans per day for protein. Water, juices, milk, coffee/tea, broths. Do not stay in bed, get up and walk. I get up from the table every 30 - 40 mins or less to walk. It's warm and sunny here, so I walk outside to the drive way and back. I do feel a litte better. Take meds, Crushed or opened, to a power. Take a mulit-vitamin, chewable or Liquid daily for life.
