Good Morning Everybody,

Wanted to check in... I was banded 10/23 @ 7:30 am. My docotor required one night stay in the hospital. I was realeased yesterday ( 10/24) around 1:00 ish. I think I would have preferred being home that first day. You can't sleep in the hospital, they think it okay to keep waking you up asking you if you are okay. LOL I'm doing well not to much gas pain, but I do have gas... my son asked how in the world do I have gas if I don't have any "real food" in my stomach. You know that is a good question. I'm moving around the house like a turtle, but all in all I'm good. I'm so glad this day has come and I'm only looking forward. I'm in my first week of post-op diet first two the three days of clear liquuids. I got some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products from the hospital www.unjury.com and the chicken Soup mixed with low sodium chicken broth is very good. I recommend you try it if you need something with high Protein for post op. I've also got some muscle milk from GNC wihich has a high Protein count also not bad (banana creme flavor).

Keep up all the good work ladies.. we deserve this new start.

Alright! Congratulations on your surgery. Its so good to hear that everything went well. The gas comes from the gas that they inflate you with during surgery. It can be a monster! Keep us posted on your progress!

Eight days since my band... and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm glad I took off as much time as I did..don't think I would have been ready to go back to work any sooner than Monday. Even than I figure it best to take it easy.

liquid Diet - 2 weeks of pure h*@!. This is a challenge. May not be bad if you live alone and don't have to watch other family members prepare and eat meals while you drink yours out of a glass or with a spoon, but I know it is "part" of the process. I have five more days until I graduate to mushies and I can't wait. LOL That sounds funny excited about mushies.

Hope everybody is doing well and I will keep everybody posted.

Congrats on your band! I know what you mean by moving around like a turtle. That was me walking the halls of the hospital the day of surgery. Each day get better and better. Good to hear you doing well. We're on our way girl!:cool2:

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
