Had My Surgery Today!

Well, i'm finally banded and I have to say it's not near as painful as I thought it would be. I do have some gas pain but it comes and goes and is never too bad. I'm on clear liquids for a week but I have a question about how much you are supposed to drink in one sip. I'm scared of making too big of a sip so I've just been swallowing about a half of a teaspoon at a time. I know it doesn't sound like much but I am making sure Im getting a lot of fluids in. What is a "safe" amount to swallow at a time?

      Thanks, I am doing pretty well. I am off the pain meds. I think I popped a stitch this morning, as I felt something pull and then a burning sensation for like 30 seconds. I guess I should find a bette

    Hey how's it going , how are you feeling

    Thanks, I am doing pretty well. I am off the pain meds. I think I popped a stitch this morning, as I felt something pull and then a burning sensation for like 30 seconds. I guess I should find a better way to get up from couch. Today was my most active day....I actually left the house. Just tried to take it easy while I was out. Down 9lbs already!! So far everything has been worth it. How are you feeling? Getting tired of liquids <_< ?

    Wow that amazing! I just got band on the 19th. I feel really tight, but hungry. Is that possible? I still have a lot of pain, so I can't sleep. :(
