@duckydoom & cassiem93 I know the healing part really sucks but it really will be over sooner than you think I'm on day 7 and I feel 85% now but if you would have asked me on Fri I think I would have just cried Hang in there ladies there is light at the end of that tunnel(smile)

Boy, am I glad to hear it ;) THe more I move around the better I feel, but I'm still only like 25% of what I'm usually able to be - I have to admit that's frustrating because I am so used to being the one in charge, lol. My husband is keeping the house clean for me, so that's pretty awesome :)

How was your 3rd day out? I hear that's the worst?

Finally I'm cleared and will be banded on August 28. Any advice? I'm getting nervous about the procedure now.

I think I fell off the list somehow.....I am august 27th

I'm scheduled for August 29th :)

I'm going in on the 29th, as well. Good luck!

ladygardner, pjenkinson1970, prettysmart1913, Kirsten 46038,& 2bhotagai good luck today!!! Keep in touch...

ladygardner, pjenkinson1970, prettysmart1913, Kirsten 46038,& 2bhotagai good luck today!!! Keep in touch...

Be Positive and Keep the Faith! Your day is next. Go Do It! Prayers for you All.

Damn iPad predictive text!! Thinking of you all xxxxxx

Good luck to you too :)

I am 2 days post op. Sore as heck. Lots of broth, tea, water and jello. Gas X strips, phenergan and hydrocodone. Can't bear my meds crushed, so I'm taking them one at a time, 10 minutes or so apart and cutting the bigger pills into small pieces.

I really want some real food!!! by the time I get done with this regime, I think I'll be a lot more appreciative of food than I ever have been before.

I felt a little better this morning. I ended up sleeping in a rocking chair last night and that helped. Having a hard time using the bathroom. :( I feel if I could just go I would be 100 xs better. Just taking my meds and relaxing as well as getting up and walking as much as I can. My husband is worried though because i'm sleeping alot and not hungry.
