Well, it has been 10 days since my banding. I have a turned a corner feel WONDERFUL except for this itching. I have tried hydrocortisone cream around my incisions and it has not helped on bit. Does anyone have any tips? I am wondering if i am having a reaction to the tape that they used. AAGGGHHH! I know i must be healing but the itching is about to drive me insane! :thumbup:
:eek: It is 1 am central time and I am trying to birth these gas bubbles who have been plaquing me since my banding! Miserable! I know they will soon pass but this is one part of this process that I could have done without! I was banded on Nov 19th along with a friend of mine. We both were banded literally hours apart! What a great thing it is to be able to share this journey with a friend. I am excited for what lies ahead! I can't wait to see the new me in 6 months ! Wow! Now, time to rock those little gas bubbles to sleep! I hope! :cool2:
Tomorrow will be my one week banding anniversary!! Feeling better each day! I am really starting to feel actual hunger pains though! At this stage, does anyone have any suggestions on things to help with the hunger???
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I am thinking of just hibernating in the bedroom all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cool2::ohmy::laugh::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy:
16 pounds! Woo Hoo! 61 to go! It has been 3 weeks 3 days. I feel great. I have already had to learn the hard way on what i can and can't eat! No toast with peanut butter. I think it got stuck a little and i was miserable for 1 day! Hard lesson learned. I think the hardest lesson i have to learn is not to drink when i eat. Now that i know i shouldn't drink when i eat, i want it all the more. It is torture. I really have to get preoccupied so i won't think about it! I have already moved some of my "too big" clothes to the give away box!
WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Can't wait to get in to some of my clothes from a while back. Then soon i hope to say goodbye to those as well.
Merry Christmas to ME!!!!!!:tongue2:
