3 days post op...........

So I had my band put in on Friday the 6th by Dr Cobean at Maine Medical center. It's now Sunday night and I have decided not to go to work tomorrow. I did go to my anatomy class last night but I think I just overdid it this weekend and the gas pains are the ones that are getting me down:angry:. Even the port site doesn't hurt as much as all the gas in my stomach. I'm trying to get my liquids in but today I only got 2 protein shakes down and some water. I thought having to be around everyone in my family while they were eating and stuff was going to be really hard but honestly I'm hardly even thinking about food. I am so grateful to everyone on here who's stories I read and who gave me the courage to believe in myself and get this done. Thank you!!
