Well I have only just seen this journal thing on here and thought I would start it now. I am now at day 13 since my banding. What an interesting road it has been. I was in hospital for two nights and they were great in there. Only on fluids for two weeks, wasn't too hard actually. It was nice to be able to drink some things that had nicer flavour than Optifast and veges for two week prior to the op. I have spent the last few days cooking, making mushy food, which I have been really excited about. Tonight for tea I am going to have mash potatoes, gravy and poached egg with a runny yolk mushed all through it, YUM!!!! I can't wait. Today I haven't had much to eat or drink. I am a little constipated I think and have been feeling rather full and uncomfortable and don't really want to eat. I hope that this feeling improves by tea time.
