A-MAY-ZING!! LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Today is my first day of liquid pre-op diet.. DH ordered Cheesecake Factory take out last night as a 'mother's day' dinner.. It was sooo yummy... but this morning I woke up with a tummy ache, which is good because I'm not the least bit hungry.... so I'm onto a good start.

Love the Name!!! I feel a-MAY-zing.

I am now one week out. I returned to work yesterday. It went well, just a little tired, more overwhelmed by the work on my deck then anything. I am feeling better and better each day. The pain is less and less, gas pain slowly going away. I did take the lortab before I went to bed last night, it helped me relax and get a good nights sleep. I also brought an icepack to work with me, that was my salvation. Up into the afternoon I had burning sensation in my port area, ice pack and liquid tylenol took it away and made it possible to get through the day (Doc. said that was normal, sign it is healing). Big diffrence between sitting on the couch watching TV and sitting at your desk working. LOL Back at work again today, so far so good, armed with liquid tylenol and ice pack.

Hope all of the ones being banded today are doing well, JerseyDori, Mischievous1 and ShayDee. You are in our thoughts, lets us hear from you when you can sit for a bit and type.

Cindyluhu and cfred, good luck tomorrow.

I am banded! Arrived at 6:00 took me back at 6:20 to sign papers and start the IV. Surgery was at 7:30, woke up in recovery around 10. Move you to secondary recovery in a chair / lounger. Made sure pain (soreness at port site) was under control, vital are fine and that you can sip Water & tolerate ice chips. Was able to leave once I went to the bathroom at 11:10. It was great having a pillow for the ride home. Once home walk walk walk and sip sip sip. Took some pain medication at 8pm and have felt good today. The worse part yesterday was getting up to a standing postiton very sore at port site but once I was up, walking felt pretty good to me. I had my water and would sip and walk. It was much betther than I had thought it would be!

Good luck to everyone today.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
