I had the surgery on 5/4 with Dr. Kurian at NYU. 5 women and 2 men had it also on that day. We all had a meeting the following morning with a nurse to go over all the rules. Everything went wonderfully. I have been feeling really well. I've never been in pain and at most I've been sore. Can't believe the hunger is gone and I'm eating so little. I also can't believe that my stomach is so big. I tried to put on the skirt I wore to the hospital and it just went over my hips. It's getting better but I still look like I swallowed a watermelon. Going to the Dr. Friday for a follow-up. I'm so happy to be on the other side of the operation.
Added diet cream soda to my shakes.. Wow--it tasted just like an egg cream. Try it. We only get diet soda until the banding. Those bubbles really help now. Started the liquid diet Tuesday by Friday I lost 5 pounds. Hope this keeps up.
Wow. I started this day all gun-oh. Is that how you spell gun-oh? I weighed myself this morning (and boy I really didn't want to do it) and I actually looked around in case something was on me or on the scale because I've been eating each meal and snack as if it was my last and it showed on that scale. So I thought I really need this liquid diet.
Anyway now it's 5:00. I had one shake and 4 more to go and I'm drinking crystal light like crazy because I don't to use them up.
