Well it has been a little over 2 weeks.. glad I did it. No regrets at all. Today I have been hungry but all in all it has not been difficult. I have lost 13 lbs so far. I can really feel a difference, not to mention I am starting to look different. I am off all of my meds which is great! Eating applesauce, oatmeal and grits. My fav has to be the grits. Can honestly say I am starting to dislike sweets (where did that come from?) I thought I loved sweets. I can tell this is going to give me a new lease on life. Wish I had done it sooner. :drool:
Well I did it. I am now banded. A brand new chance to feel and look better. A better brand new me. Arrived at the hospital at 7:30 am for a 9:30 surgery. I was very sad b/c my grandaughter had to go to Duke for a check up b/c of a cough.. there was a chance she would have to be admitted. I started crying before I went in and cried until I was in the OR. Fortunately she did not have to stay . I stayed in pacu for 3 hrs which is a long time. Recieved 200 mcs of fentenyl for pain and everything under the son for nausea. Cramps were bad. Very sore tonight. Can void as usual, have had to cath self 2 times so far. Hopefully tommorow my bladder will start funcitoning again. Can't seem to get enough to drink. Very dry.
