New to the forum, 3 days post-op, feeling good

Hello. My name is Kat. I was banded Monday and it seems like I'm recovering pretty well. I went home the same day, continue walking hourly, and am getting my protein drinks down like I'm supposed to. I'm trying to wean off the pain killer because it knocks me out. I've been lowering the dose since yesterday and I've been able to stay awake for longer periods of time. The only trouble I'm having is staying hydrated. Seems like I can't drink enough water and I feel dehydrated. Working on that today and looking forward to starting my soft diet on Saturday. Looking forward to positive results. :)
