Well as of today I am down 18 lbs since surgery...I'm thinking that is pretty good seeing how Tuesday will be 3 weeks since my banding. I have done fairly well with sticking to how and what I am to eat. Still need to take in more fluid and protein but everyday gets better. I was finally able to sleep in my own bed after about a week due to I was still so sore where my incisions are. I had a few days were I over did it with getting out and about that I would feel sick and nauseated the rest of the day. I guess its called sliming. I would get all sick feeling and my mouth would water like I was gonna be sick but never would. Other than that I have been fine. Went for my 10 day check up and doc said everything was healing well and my weight loss was good. He started me on solids but told me to take it slow. So for the past week I have been on them with very little issues. I haven't started exercising yet. Will try walking this week and gradually increase it from there.
