So a few days ago I thought that my band had slipped..:sneaky: It was a false scare, and I found out that if my band had slipped I would be vomiting all the time, I am just in bandster Hell, which means that all the swelling fromsurgery has gone away, and I feel hungry all the time and my restriction is almost zero.....:thumbup: I have my first post-op on the 1st and I am going to talk to my doctor about when I can get my first fill. For the past week I wake up in the middle of the night in agony because my stomche is empty! So I have to run in the kitchen and eat something, mostly yougart, or string cheese, but OMG it is soooooo painful, painful enough to wake this very hard sleeper! :confused:While in Bandster hell I really have to watch what I eat and make smart choices, which has been a little easier than I thought it would be, but I want the restriction. I am headed into my second week, and have already lost 17 lbs, which I am impressed by and shows me that this thing is really working. I just hope that I can keep up the good habbits long enough to loose the 50 lbs I want to loose by October. I plan on starting my work out plan next week, because most of the soreness that I was feeling is gone now I ACTUALLY SLEPT ON MY BELLY LAST NIGHT!!! :sad:

So wish me luck you all, becasue I am gonna need it for the next few weeks, if I am gonna make it through HELL!:biggrin:

are u glad u had it done

Hang in there!

Keep a journal of questions and concerns you'd like to ask your Doctor.

I've not heard about the middle of the night hunger pain. I myself have acid reflux and when it happens it seems to be in the middle of the night and I wake up in pain and sweating. I rush to the kitchen and down some milk and it stops immediately and then take some Tums before I go back to bed. It doesn’t happen as much now but I’ve noticed that when I have fills it comes back.

Keep up the “good choices” on your food; it’s showing that you’re doing a good job from the weight loss you indicated.

I was just thinking; are you drinking enough liquids during the day?

I am glad that I had it done, I would do over agin in a minute! I know this is all just with the territory, but some of these things I had never heard of.

The Journal of questions is a GREAT idea, over all everything is going GREAT, and I know that I am not getting as much water in as I am supposed to but I am really trying!
