Today is day five for me. The pain is minimal but I am terrified that I will get something lodged in my band and I will start puking. I do struggle a bit with taking all my medications that I need to take. I use a pill splitter and a scissor, but still it is a struggle. To get the water and pills down without filling my pouch. I am sure I will adjust in time. I am feeling some cravings of foods I loved pre-banding but know that it is not something I can having right now. For Instance, I would love to go purchase a hamburger from McDonald's. A big juicy one like a McDouble...hmmmm. I don't know why I am craving things like this now, when I didn't really like them before. Hooray I am down 19 pounds total today!!! I do have several friends now that are watching hows this works for me and then if it is successful they will do it. It seems like a bit of pressure, probably pressure I don't really need right now. ..
