My first time being put under. The whole thing was no big deal to me but I had a friend they let come into the OR while I was under and also stayed with me during the recovery room time.

I'm got home around 4 pm the day after surgery and I'm doing ok, just very sore but I have Hydrocodone for that.

Oh yeah, the friend that was with me the whole time, his name is Jesus :biggrin:

Thx,

dave

Awesome testimony Dave..congratulations on your weight loss!

I was banded August 25 th too, When do you go for your first filL? I go for mine on September 30th and can't wait. I have no restriction right now.

First fill on Oct.7th. I also have literally no restriction but I'm eating as tho I do.

Walking 1 mile a day.

Have stopped taking cholesterol and triglycerides meds and replaced them with 1 can of sardines a day.

How much/what are you eating a day and how much exercise ?

dave

I eat about 1 cup of food per meal and drink 1-2 Protein drinks per day.

I eat oatmeal in the morning

some kind of protein and veggie for lunch

same for dinner.

I have not counted my calories so really dont know what it is at and I walk about 30 min a day.:thumbup:

1 cup = 8 oz and your pouch should be about 2 oz. So basically your eating 24 oz a day when you should be eating 6 oz a day.

There is no way I could be satisfied with only 6oz of food....Hopefully I will be satisfied after my fill in October!

I thought that Protein itself was supposed to be 4oz at least...I'm so confused :thumbup:

My Dieticion says I should be able to handle 3 oz of protien at supper and 1 cup of food per meal right now.

That sounds about what I was told to eat 3-4 oz of Protein and 3-4 oz of other foods either it be carbs or veggies...to equal 1 cup.
