Well, it's two days after my surgery. I feel better today than I did yesterday that's for sure. The gas pain was the worst yesterday I think. Not so bad today. I have one dose of my pain killer (lortab) left and I don't think I will take it anymore after its gone. The heating pad has been an awesome thing to have. Haven't really had much desire to "eat" anything, I have only had two small shakes and a half cup of yogurt since surgery. I almost wanted to gag trying to eat the yogurt, but I am trying to keep up the Protein.

I have been doing some light chores around the house, and went to the store and walked around a bit, trying to be up and moving to get rid of this gas pain which I think is the worst part so far. I am able to remove the dressings today for a shower! Pretty excited about that.

Haven't really been nauseous thankfully. Just gassy sore and the port incision is pretty tender. I'm sure tomorrow will be even better yet!

I am a side sleeper, so sleeping on my back hasn't been real fun, but I'm hoping to be able to get back to normal there in a couple weeks.

Husband has been SUPER AWESOME and I am blessed to have him to help.

If anybody wants to keep in touch e-mail wise or anything I would be more than happy!

Blessings to all!

Congratulations on being on the other side! Sounds like you're doing wonderfully.

Best wishes on your WL journey!

Kudos to hubby too!

I've been looking for someone to talk to, I'm not banded yet but pretty nervous, have lots of questions and I have my last nutrition appt this Monday. I just think it would be good to talk to someone on the other side. Congrats my email is ekellyj@aol.com if you feel up for it. -Kelly

I got banded on wed and today was much better than yesterday. Though I slept most of the day I have been walking a bit. That makes my incisions tender though. I still can't believe I did it. It seems like a dream. Can't wait for the healing to be finished and the real changes to begin. Hope everyone else is doing good on their journey too.
