well I had my surgery yesterday. all went well. I was admitted to the hospital at 7 AM and released at 1230 pm. It took me forever to get home because of the flooding (4 hours when it normally takes 1.5) I am doing well! My husband is shocked at how well I am doing...under the circumstances. He joked that I need to get a heart and lung transplant to see how I react. I am not on a clear liquid diet so when I got home I had some Tomato Soup. It tasted a bit funny but I didn't mind. My mouth still has a funny taste in it...I guess that is what the mints on the list I got from you all are for. After I ate Soup DH and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I rested for a bit and then just hung out then went to bed. My Dr. gave me Vicodin pills...I thought he would give me liquid did anyone else get pills? DH raised up the head of our bed a little (with books) and that has helpped...I feel like I am pg again with al the pillows I have around me but they help me get comfy! For those of you pre-band I just wanted to let you know that for me walking and a heating pad have helped a lot with the gas pain. My daughter doesn't understand why mommy can't pick her up but I hope that soon we will be able to at least snuggle.

I just wanted to give you all an update!

YAY for us! I was banded at 1pm yesterday. I'm in Mexico and have stayed the night in the hospital. The only pain I have had is from the insertion of the IV (apparently my veins were rolling around and not letting the nurses stick me). As far as the lap band cuts, the only thing I feel is a little pressure maybe from the liver holder or from the port site, but I'll take pressure over pain anyday. I hope I'll be sent home with some pills, yeah baby. In the 3-4 days before my surgery I was nervous that my allergy cold was going to delay me, but the dr. said to take claritin, and it worked.:P

My veins were rolling too! they had to stick me 5 times to get one. :) I would say I have a dull pain...but I am up and about. I feel like I have to burp...you know one of those painful burps...that is what I feel like a lot of the time but I can't burp.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
