I had my band done back on the 3/10/10 and I remember waking up thinking "what the BLEEP!! have I done???" It took about 2 weeks for the bruising and swelling to go down, I actually only drank Water and a little cordial for that time and felt exhausted. After the 2 weeks I began trying to eat more solids but would only get a teaspoon of jelly or custard down every 3 hours. Try soft scrambled eggs, custard or low-calorie jelly and DON'T OVERDO IT!! If you don't want to eat, DON'T!!! It goes against everything your body, your family, everybody tells you, but your body is coming to terms with the changes and this extra bit attached to your stomach . I have lost 17kilos - not sure what that is in pounds LOL - I think it's about 35 lbs - since surgery, but I still haven't come to terms with the "get off my @$$ and excerise more" requirement. My diet is great, I just need to motivate myself to loose the flab which is hanging on to me. Christmas is here, I'm 2-3 dress sizes smaller this year than last, so the Chrissie photos will be the kick start I need again (That's what motivated me to begin with). JUST HANG IN THERE - IT WILL HAPPEN!!!
