Oh my gosh - I am banded! I was in-patient at St. Jowith Dr. Swatz and every thing went smashingly well. I did spike a fever oaf 102.5 the same night, so I was given IV antibiotics. I walked my heart out at the hospital, but when I got home, I felt like garbage and did nothing but sleep. Now I feel - great - though I am sleeping in the recliner.
My pre diet failed miserably and my stress level went from "yeah - summer vacation" to "I have to move to North Carolina". My husband was just sent to Fort Bragg, so I have sell my house, ship out my dogs and horses, and pack everything up. I'm thinking I'll be a "single mom" for about 9 months so that I can keep my teaching job and get my fills, etc.
My liquid diet is going okay. The nutritionist said the liquid didn't have to be clear, so I tried having a Proteinshake (not good - caused me a lot of pain), Propel, VitaminWater, and sugar freepudding. Tonight (three days out) I had about a 1/4 cup potatoe Soup. Wow - felt like the real stuff even though it's just Imagine Organics.
I weighed myslef today, and I am down about 5 pounds! But - I'm thinking that it's water weight because....I also started my period in the hospital.
I weighed in at 277. I am so excited to be on the loosing end now. I've been struggling with high blood pressure, asthma, joint pain, and sinus abcesses for a very long time. I really like my doctor. I did a ventral hernia repair on me several years ago (that was pure hell) and I thought he did a good job.
