Glad you are home. Make sure you are walking a lot, even in the house. Drink lots too, you are well on your way to a better banded life!

Congrats!!! I was banded 4/24 and was down the same at my appt yest!

I was banded April 2 an got first fill this past Monday just wanted to share my success in hopes to encourage someone else. I'm unsure of the inches but the start weight was 225 now I'm 201. I can see a big change already.

I would deff call and ask them about the fever and tell them you would have liked a follow up call or something, My hospital recovery called a couple times the next day to make sure I was okay.

All Endings are also Beginning. We just don't know it at the time!
My Fat unhealthy Days Are Over!! This is My New Beginning!! And Yours Also!!Love You! Happy 5/2/2013.[/font]

It's a great realization to know your life has changed for good...isn't it?
Keep waiting for the bubble to burst as was the case with so many diets in the past , until finally realize this is different...this is surgery....this is for good!
Aside from the permanent scars (ischemia) from my heart attack, with everything else I have a Do-Over...a clean slate, new beginning, 2nd chance.
Only wish I did this earlier....

As of 5/1/13 weight 307.4 goal for 6/1/13 weight 290

there is a nice older couple who lives across the street...you know the hi and bye waves and when they are gone or we are, we take the mail and paper etc....
so the day before yesterday, me and my doberman kabo were in the front yard just sitting on the front step....and she came outside and said *you are looking so good. i bet you are feeling so much better*. i said i sure am and thank you...
later when hub came home, i said you didnt tell the lady across the street of my surgery did you. he said last year at my surgery and i was home 8 days from work, she came to him when he was outside and asked was his wife okay as she noticed my car was in the driveway and hadnt left....he said he told her i was having WLS.....
kinda surprised i asked him why on earth would you tell someone this and he said cos i am proud of you thats why
so if someone compliments you, smile and say thank you that is what i did and then use that for you to keep going..

I am out and on my way home discomfort at port site. Other than that it's ok.

I had the dry heaves yesterday, but my Dr prescribed promethazine for nausea and vomiting, so I took one of those and ate a popsicle. I felt better in about an hour.

Soo i am home now... just got settled in... the cat missed me... is all curled up on my shoulders and puurrin to his heart content. The stairs weren't that bad getting up so i think i am good here.. i am hurting a bit more today though but i think i might have slept on my stomach for a lil bit last night. Hope all is well.

I have trouble with a daily routine as well.. I love my Tae Bo , Zumba, and even the insanity workout when I feel I have the energy to do them.. I find it easier to just walk with some music.. it helps clear my head as well as gets me moving... I only do small walks right now as I was banded last wed, however.. it has me moving,, when your ready for something with weights get a small hand ones or even one of those kettle balls for the upper arms.. goodluck!

At the hospital gown on. It's my day!!!!!!

That's good for you... I have been doing the Protein shakes as well.. I woke up Sat and said I needed something a bit more then clear haven't had an issue since.. I have been able to take showers and such I even went to the store today .. got on one of those motorized carts... HAHA ..I enjoyed getting out but it took some out of me... I am going home tomorrow so I will let you know how I do with those stairs. I am in pain still so yours might be a bit of both.. mine is more at the port site and everything still "settling" I guess you could call it. Anna, goodluck on the flooding.. stay safe!

You will get there Jenni. Just relax and take it slow. Enjoy allowing your family to help take care of you. Don't push yourself too much. Remember, you just had surgery, and your body needs that time to heal right. You don't want any future complications that will cause you to have to have surgery again. Good luck!

I am doing okay! doing little walks here and there.. I am still at my mom's and debating on if I want to go home yet, my apt has stairs to get to.. How are you doing? Crafty, I am the same way I think it is just a case of cabin blues so to speak.. just remember, it can't rain all the time. Sherri, Goodluck on Tuesday!
