  1. I weighed myself today and saw exactly what I knew I would see: gained back 3 lbs. I was down -19lbs and now it's -16... but still, that's just two weeks and I was trying to think about it this whole time like it was being sick with the stomach flu ('cause that's exactly how it felt)... I KNEW when I felt better I would gain some back.
     
    Still, it stung a little. I know it shouldn't.
     
    I mean, I've only been banded for 2 and a half, almost 3 weeks.
     
    I'm only now to where I feel good enough to move. I know after surgery they told me to start moving immediately, but I also only had pain meds for two days (they gave me tylenol w/ codiene and as my family history should have warned me... it made me vomit... a lot) so I hurt longer (at least in my opinion.)
     
    I went mallwalking on Friday and I hate to admit it, but they were right... after I got moving I really did feel better. Kinda like the pain in my feet made my body forget that my side is still killing me.
     
    I also see what they (they in all this refers to the surgeon/his office) mean about knowing when you need a fill. My first fill is in a little over a week and I guess they time it to where you will be feeling much better and probably thinking about returning to your old eating habits.
     
    So yea, I can see how that will be helpful. I know now that the nausea passed, I'm not eating nearly as slowly as I should be.
     
    We shall see.
