Men are jerks at times! Do this for you, not for him!! He may be jealous...

I put on old swimshorts today to do some laps in and found out I can only swim backwards in the shorts because they would fall off!! Some of the issue may be the dry rotten elastic, but I choose to believe it's my 10 lbs! (I was just banded last Tuesday!)

I had surgery on Tuesday and had the same type pain, it gets better everyday. I think some of mine might have been because I was drinking too fast.

Thanks for the pep talk, I feel a little better this evening, I think I may have been drinking too quickly.

I had my surgery on Tuesday, the 31st of May and came home yesterday, Wed. Have been doing OK, slept well from 10 to 3 then moved to the recliner. Deep breaths hurt - anyone else experience that? I also had a hernia repaired, (didn't know I had it until after the surgery). Did my first protein shake about an hour ago. Feel a little bloated now... Just did a lap around the driveway, the fresh air felt great!
