Well I've gone a walk around the block twice today. Feeling a little better today. Still sore and bloated. When I was out walking someone was cooking something and boy did it smell good. Getting my appetite back now. Can start full liquids Sat. Looking forward to that after being on clear. Hope everything goes down okay. I think I may try to drive today. Need to do a few errands. Might go to the library too. Everyone here has a cold, I hope they feel better and don't give it to me.

Well today I came home from the hospital. Surgery went well yesterday. I haven't had anything to eat since Saturday evening. Have been on liquids since then. Just water and ice since surgery. Some pain, I think mostly from the gas. Incisions are fairly sore, not too bad I guess. The one by the port hurts the most. My daughter accidently plopped down on my stomach, that didn't feel so hot... Hopefully I feel back to normal soon. Ht. 5'4 Wt. at S. 243.5

Thanks to you who sent me a warm welcome. Tomorrow is the big day!! I'm trying to keep myself busy so I don't worry myself into a tizzy. I am getting pretty hungry now. I hope I don't starve all the time after the band. My doctor (Dr. Nizzi) says I will be on a liquid diet for 4 weeks. Plus no smoking. I may very well go crazy. But if my weight goes down and my health improves it will be well worth it. Cross your fingers for me that I don't have any problems. I read some of the posts in the complications thread, that was scary. Any advice on post op would be appreciated. Peace.

I just registered today after sneaking around as a guest. I have to say I'm impressed so far. I am scheduled for banding Monday morning (9-11-06), and I must admit I am very nervous! I hope everything goes okay (Please God) and I hope I've made the right decision by having this done.

Just seeing how to work this first.
