I woke up this morning feeling ALOT better than i have the previous morning . I went ahead and planned a little outing so that i might be able to get some extra brisk walks in and just to get out of the house . I went ahead and treated myself to a pedicure . That just about put me to sleep , by the time my pedicure was over I could feel my body getting a little exhausted . I had some gas pressure in my belly but nothing that was not tolorable . I had hoped to get right back home and lay down to give my body a rest , but my sister in law and I had to make a small detour along the way . My Boyfriends Family owns two businesses so we had to run and get some change for one of them . I stayed at the store with my boyfriend so I could spend a few minutes with him while i was still awake . Big Mistake , the pains in my belly only grew , I couldnt tell wether it was gas pains or what , but I was not a happy camper . We quickly got myself back home and took some of my pain meds quickly , I passed out pretty quick . 3 Hours later ,I am feeling ok . I am having some abrupt pains in my belly but i am not sure if my stomach is growling or if Its gas . Has anyone else been experiencing weird stomach spazzing expisodes ?

About 24 Hours ago I got out of surgery , I feel a little better than I did yesturday , the Gas isnt as bad and trying to maintain that with taking Gas X Strips . Having some pain in my stomach from the surgery , I just really feel like I got beat up by a Giant Gorilla . I want to try and take some more walks today and have more liquid intake . Maybe ill try some Jello today instead of just the Sugar Free Popsicles and Ice that ive been sucking on since yesturday . Anyone else have some 24 Post op Stories ?

8 Day Countdown
· MeliV254 · 07/22/2011 00:14
In 8 days it all begins , my journey to a new me , a path that I will walk to find myself that was always there , neatly tucked away . I will be having a Standard Approach Lap Band Procedure at Seton Northwest in Austin Texas by Dr Sashia Ganta. The butterflies are just starting to hit , with excitement.... nervousness with a dash of curiosity. " You can do it , you can do it " I find myself randomly chanting in my head . Im looking forward to the day when I can wake up and walk throughout the day without any pain in my knees . My mind is going a million miles an hour at the moment with so many different emotions and thoughts into this subject . Anyone else in Bandster land getting one done next week ??
