:wub:So I've been banded for 5 days and still in pain especially where my port is! I'm also tired of jello. I've tasted so many nasty protein drinks. Although I am still having trouble getting in all my liquids/protein I only eat jello (maybe a ounce put together) twice a day when I take my two little pills. I crush them and put them in jello which doesn't help the taste. All the liquids make me fill full. Any suggestions anyone? I'm soooo scared of losing my hair. I've lost 22 pounds now and wonder if that's pretty fast.
Well the pain is def pretty much gone but i'm still swollen. Mostly where they repaired the hornia and etc. I'm trying to get all my protein in and fluids but dang I am struggling. I;m down 15 pounds since last thursday. Now that the swelling is going down more is coming off. I'm trying hard to get liquids in but between drinking and jello I am constantly full so it's hard to drink all the time
Well today it's to cold to go outside so I been walking around the house I'm working on my liquids and protein considering it is noon already I not doing to good I have probably 4oz down so far :'( I'm gonna do better today! I have to. I'm down 24 pounds now and wonder if it isn't coming off to fast not that I'm mad about it lol. Just would rather it come off steady enough I can work out so I don't have so much extra skin. I feel today is gonna be a good day although I am getting tired and could use a nap. Walking seems to really tire me I hope everyone was like that. I'm taking my vitamins like I'm suppose to and my meds which on is for heartburn that I only have to take for 3 months and the other is to protect my gall bladder and I only take it 6 months! Anyways gonna go work on my protein intake and get this done today! GO ME!
So it is the day after my surgery and I been home a couple hours now and boy am I uncomfortable. Anybody know any tricks to getting comfortable? I'm happy to have this done no regrets at all although I hate pain. Being my first day I am sorry to say I have not got all my liquids in but I am gonna try harder tomorrow!
