Hey Guys! 'Realize' Banded on May 20th-with ventral hernia repair. The anesthesia REALLY kicked my ass! Scars are healing REALLY well. Down from 202 to 189 (about 12 lbs). Doctor had me on clear liquids for 7 days now I'm on full liquids (week 2-3) then puree for a week. Then a more normal texture. Getting slightly more hungry. First fill was scheduled for June 30th. (5 weeks post op) Went back to work 4 days post-op. Went for my first official exercise walk last night.:confused: I am a food addict so its been a little difficult cooking dinner for my children. I have found it helpful to get soups from Whole Foods or restaurants because the canned soups are nasty. Wishing you all well! KGV35 80 lbs to go!
