I'm up getting ready to head to the hospital. I get banded today. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be healthy. New me. New life. Good luck to all my fellow bandsters getting banded today. Happy BAND BIRTHDAY!!!

Well I am very sore today! It's hard getting in and out of bed. When I stand up' date=' I'm ok. Been sipping all day. My dr recommends 1 oz every five minutes, so my beside has coconut Water, premier Protein, almond milk, Metamucil mixed in some water and plain water. I'm trying my best to get it all down. I get full after 2 sips!! Lol!

Think I'm gonna go for a short walk later to get this gas moving. Haven't been nauseated at all. I have 5 incisions and they're all sore, so can't say if where port is any sorer. :-/

Well happy recovery to u...

Oh why can't u drink??[/quote']

I couldnt drink until I did a swallow test with radiology. I finally got in around noon. That was almost a whole day since surgery. So I have just barely started drinking. I just left the hospital today also. So it was nice to recover in there a Lil longer.

So I didn't have any gas problem's until after I started sipping my clear liquids this afternoon and WHOA. This gas is killer. Lol. I had a few extra sips of my broth when I got home and I think I sipped too much. Lol. I feel so full. Thats nice to know the band is working.

The incision sites r painful and the gas makes it that much more painful. But the loratab elixur helps with the pain. I can't wait to be back to normal. I want to start working out again. I'm trying to have my skin bounce back as much as possible but I think I will still need a tummy tuck when I reach my goal weight which is 100 lbs from what I am now.

In bed at home now resting while I can smell my husbands and kids yummie dinner. PIZZA!!! Lol. No fair. My sister says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"but after smelling all this food I'm not so sure about that. Ha ha. Jk.

Thanks for the liquid ideas. I have just been doing water and broth. I need to add some variety to my regime. Especially the Fiber drink. Hope that gas subsides soon. Let me know how you feel tomorrow. Hopefully better then today.
