  1. So I had my surgery Monday December 21st. I was told by my doctor to not eat anything besides broth water and jello for one week. Last night got the best of me and 2 days early I ate... I immediately felt the food not feel right and had to cough some up. I am extremely disappointed in myself :drool: and I am scrared! I feel absolutley fine now but im feeling a little sharp discomfort where I know the band is. My next Dr. appointment isn't until Wednesday... so I have a few questions.. concerns if anyone can help me with..
     
    1- Is this like really really bad and should I go to the emergency room?? :thumbup:
     
    2- Should I be honest with my doctor and just tell him what I did? :thumbdown:
     
    if anyone can give me some advise on this that would be helpful b/c aside from feeling phyisically healthy I am scraed I really messed things up...

    So I am home and today is day 2. I had my surgery Monday December 21st. I am feeling a bit sore in my stomach area but nothing that the prescribed Codine won't fix.. lol. I am moving around a lot and I am so proud of myself. I remember Monday afternoon while still in pain I was like. "why did I do this.. I'm crazy!" but now I am so happy and cannot wait to start dropping this weight!!

  3. Just had to say

    That I am feeling amazing right now! I just took a shower and I have been buzzing around my apartment all day today and besides some minor aches and pains I feel so good. I feel so motivated and can't wait to be 100% better. I am shocked at how I feel. I mean for God sakes I has surgery Monday morning. I thought that I was gonna be out like a light for at least a week. That is so not the case. If I can offer any advise for anyone who just got banded I would say don't push yourself, but believe in the power of healing and take that extra step because in the long run you'll recover faster. I remember Monday afternoon after my family came and visited, seeing them put me in a good mood and I actually asked the nurse if I could start walking. Everyone was shocked. Both my parents have had this done and they were like, wow you just broke our records. I mean Im sure a lot has to do with my age, but I also felt this surge of motivation and willingness. It can be so easy to fall into that sleepy feeling and not wanting to do anything and trust me, I felt a lot of that, but then after a while I tried to really work with the nurses to speed my recovery and Im so happy I did that. Ok well im done.. 2 blogs in one day.. I have lots of time on my hands as you can see. : )
