Got banded yesterday. Was home at noon. No pain. No gas. Walking around. Trying to get my shakes in but I am not hungry. Only minor pain where my port is. Blessed that I had no complications so far. My new birthday August 30, 2012.
I started my journey January 12th this year. Just got approved 2 weeks ago. Surgery is this Thursday. Hang in there. My insurance made me do a lot. I have very good insurance.
Down 3.6 lbs after day 1. Wasn't bad at all. Today I had one shake and tuna with lettuce as a lettuce wrap. Plan on a shake or chicken breast with unlimited green veggies for dinner. Can't wait until the 30th
I made it. Not bad for my first day. Had 2 protein shakes and grilled tilapia with green veggies for today's menu. My treat tonight will be a sugar free popsicle.
Got approved yesterday and my package today with all the details including pre-op diet. Not bad. I get to eat 1 to 2 healthy meals high Protein and shakes. Start on the 18th. Can't wait
Thanks for your encouragement. I did my research and know this is for me. My sister had gastric bypass in 2007 and lost over 220 pounds and has still kept it off. She's a good support for me. I just didn't want to do gastric. Lapband is for me. Jumping for joy.
