1 Week post op visit

Sorry all I have blogged on here before as twintwo821, but for some reason I couldn't sign on that account I had to create a new one. I had my surgery December 17 everything went well. I had to be in at 6:00am surgery at 7:00am awake from surgery about 9:20am. My surgeon repaired an umbilical hernia I didn't know I had everything else went well. I was up and walking around left the Surgery Center at 10:00am and home by 11:30am! It took me 6 months to get to this day and I wouldn't change a thing about what I went through to get to this point! There was some fluid left in my band which I didn't know about every time I would try to get all my liquids in I would sip just a few sips and be so full I couldn't breath! I went this Wednesday for my first post op appointment lost another 3.5 pounds (that makes 23.5 since I started this process) they took some fluid out and I have since been able to eat my required 1/2 cup servings. I started that day getting to have canned veggies, fruits and proteins! Next week I will start actually cooking again if I can remember how! I can't wait for cooked fish, chicken and veggies! I do find that with that 1/2 cup serving I'm not hungry for a few hours. I'm looking forward to Christmas since I can now eat a few "real" foods even though they will be mushy at least it won't be clear liquids or protein shakes! I may even make a banana pudding with out the cookies! To all who have already been banded thank you for your comments and support on this website I have learned so much! To all who are yet to be banded hang in there it does get better this rough patch does pass things will get back to almost normal with your new eating habits! Merry Christmas everyone!
