I have been officially banded for 7 days now.

Today I had my first Post-Op appointment with Dr Naim. I weighed in at 310.5 lbs. I am down 20.5 lbs. I am healing well. No redness on the incisions. No pain at the port site. I can sleep 'somewhat' normal. I still have to learn not to get out of the car too fast.

He wants me to start an exercise program. But I think I am going to hold off for a few. At least until I am cleared to lift weights. I am thinking about getting a bike.

I was supposed to be on liquids for another week, but my doctor said I was doing great and should advance to the 'Pureed' phase.

I immediatly had some mashed potatos!

Wow nice job, even the 6 pounds since the surgery!!!! Nice to see you move on to mushies too, because I am in Day 12 of pre-opt liquid and still can't see the end since its liquids after the surgery.

Wow, Great job!! 21 lbs is great!!

Im jealous, i still have 2 more weeks of the liquid diet...Im glad that waits over for you though!

Take care!

That is great! Congrats on the mushies!

Congrats to you on doing so well!!!

Yay for mushies!!

I know what you mean about getting out of the car carefully. Yikes!!
