ok, so 5/5/8 @ 7am i got my band. spent the entire day in the hospital. i was planning on doing it outpatient but as the day went on, and due to the gas pains, i stayed the night.
they told me i wouldn't be able to eat until the next morning b/c of my upper GI that they had to do.
after a little kicking and asking i got a bowl of chicken broth, Jello and h20 right around 9pm (Monday).. and i'll tell you that was the best freaking meal i can remember having in a long time. weird thing was that i put on 5 lbs in the hospital. i guess all the IV fluids and whatnot.
did my upper GI today and left the hospital at 10:15am feeling pretty good. got some gas pains, but that is to be expected. i went on a little walk to p/u my daughter from her school. the walk was about 6blocks...and man, did it feel like someone kicked me right in the chest. or better yet, it felt like i was in a car accident and hit the steering wheel with my chest.
but as soon as i sit down, i start to feel a little be better.
had some broth today (twice) and had my first vanilla Protein smoothie (about 8oz). ...on the path.
more updates to come.
