    Day 5 Post Op

    This is wonderful news, good job on the self discipline and don't worry ... you will get to have a sample later on. I am on my 6th day of recovery and I have started soft foods because the liquids were not cutting it anymore. I have been doing much better now that the gas has been moving along. I was not prepared for that type of pain at first and it took some getting used to. I also noticed the pressure when I would drink water rather sip, sip, sip. One thing that helped me is to not drink through a straw anymore ... this was a life saver! Good luck and keep up the good work! Keep drinking, keep walking, and be proud for your new change!!! I've already lost 15 lbs over the course of 2 weeks. I am excited for everyone that is on this journey ... our lives are going to only get better! Take care! Hugs!

  5. Hi there everyone!! I was just banded yesterday. I am very sore but I know that is to be expected. For anyone preparing for the surgery ... make sure you are on a high Protein diet (that include lean meats and protein shakes). The protein will actually allow you to full quickly ... however two days before the surgery you will need to be on an all liquid diet. I am thankful to have the opportunity to read these blogs and hear from others. I know I was so scared to be knocked out ... but the staff treated me so kind ... it was very refreshing. Good luck to you all. I am planning on weighing 140 tops (I'm 5'8") so this size should look pretty decent on me.
