One week out

After a long week today I'm feeling much better the gas pain was so much i was regretting my surgery because of that excruciating pain not to sound too dramatic but it hurt :( So a friend of my fathers who has the lap band recommended some pills for gas and they were amazing took 2 pills and right away felt better . I went in for my post up yesterday it was suppose to be today but since i wasn't feeling good went in a day before i am happy to say I'm 20 lbs down :) they removed liquid from my band hade about a 1/4 cc they said prob thats why i hade discomfort and did a X-ray they seen that I'm still very swollen and that i am still full of gas overall I'm doing better and hade my first meal today since 3 weeks i was very afraid to eat i ate slow and got satisfied fast so i guess I'm doing good thank God.
