Today is Better!

Thank you fellow bandsters for your words of support and encouragement when i posted yesterday with the pain and nausea I was experiencing. I'm feeling better today and am able to drink or eat something every hour as I was instructed to do. Pain is subsiding, although I'm still using the pain medicine .. .ahh well, that's why it was given to me, right? I just thought I was going to sail through and not need pain medicine - boy was I wrong. So I'm giving myself permission to go slow, use the pain medicine as needed, and sleep when I can. I am walking every hour around the house too. My temperature was 100, but that has come down too. Definitely a better day. (I was banded on Thursday - so this is day 2 after banding). THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!

My Hands!

I've been looking for signs of my weight loss. Yes, some weight is coming off, but I refuse to get hooked up on the numbers - they can be so deceiving. So I've noticed that my pants are a little looser. I've noticed that of all things, my glasses fit more loosely on my face. I've just been waiting for some sort of confirmation, ya know? Well, bless my husband's little pea pickin' heart! We were walking and holding hands yesterday and he told me that my hand felt smaller in his hand. Awww, I melted! Just what I needed to hear - totally unsolicited and totally sincere. Ahh, strength to carry on!

A New Find!

The dietician at my doctor's office advised me of a product that I ordered and just got in. It is "Nectar" from mybariatricpantry.com. Has anyone heard of it or tried it? It should be great for the days after my surgery tomorrow. It has 23g of protein in one serving. You can mix with water or milk and all sorts of flavors . . . I like it.   So I'm finishing laundry and making sure things at home are done before I head in tomorrow. I'll post to you all when I can .. .Thanks for all the support!

Chewing

The paperwork from my dr. says exactly this, "food should not need chewing. Chew food 10-20 times", huh? If the food is pureed to the point that it does not need to be chewed, is it still necessary to chew it? Sorry . .. I'm a newbie . . . scheduled for banding next month. Thanks for any input available.

I am a Bandster.

I was banded yesterday. One night in the hospital and home today. Things just couldn't have gone better. The hospital staff was great. I'm walking and snoozing and drinking and doing all the things I am supposed to do.   This IS the first day of the rest of my life - here I go!
