This is me with my new band headed to SKINNY LAND

Had surgery this AM - things are looking good - all in all not a bad experience - little sore and the gas from the surgery isn't fun - but small price to pay for my new life ahead

:clap2:

I am now on day 8 post surgery and I am feeling a lot better. Still tire out by the end of the day, but I feel a helluva lot better than I did last week! Today was the first day I really got hungry. Had some mashed potatoes, some cream soup, a popsicle and a Jello, all sugar free of course. Oh and I had the dreaded shake this morning. My sister went to GNC and got me one of the Protein drinks, I forget the name, but I'll be having that this evening. The soup was great. Can't believe Im here talking about eating! Wow... what a change. I should be at some bar somewhere drinking and smoking and flirting! WOW! Can't wait to get back out there and show off the new me!

Glad to hear you're up and doing well!

:rolleyesI still am having some shoulder pain post op. I guess I am on day 5 or six postop, was banded 8/29. I am just surprised that the shoulder pain can hit me here and there and be quite significant. Ice packs really help, I have found. Anyone else experience shoulder pain this long?

thanks,
