Finally, its done! I am sore today but am sipping protein shake, water, and pain meds. I am also getting up and walking a bit. I am so glad it wasn't worse, i know i can return to work next Monday. I had surgery at 3:45 and was home by 8 pm, and it was a 2 hour drive home. I am so glad i listened to yal's advice and didn't try to drive home myself.

now just gotta find out how to get a ticker and post pix!

Darla

Congrats:)

Hope you lose weight and reach you goal. Keep us updated with your news since I'm thinking about getting a band, and I'd like to know how it feels in the first few days/weeks.

Good luck

Darla I'm so happy your doing well. Hope your recovery is quick and that your up and on the losing side soon!!! Keep on getting in those liquids!!!!

Congrats on becoming a bandster! Hope you have an uneventful recovery!!

Congrats Darla!!! You are on your way!

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement! I am feeling quite well tonight. I went outside and watered the grass this evening. Also did the dishes and was able to drink all my required shakes plus two small cups of broth today. I slept part of the day and at one point dreamt that I "accidentally" forgot my diet and ate a few bites of pizza.....interesting. I felt a bit hungry but not the usual desperate, I-gotta-have-carbs type of hunger. It was genuine hunger that went away when I had a shake.

I get my first fill in 2 weeks! I am so excited about losing weight! One of the surgeons told me that I would definitely be able to feel lighter by Xmas.

Happy and Joyful Tonight!

Darla
