Day 5 after banding

Well today for the most part was a good day. Went out with my husband to buy some things I needed, so I got enough walking in. The gas that is in my neck and goes down my shoulder and arm gets bad at times.

 

At this point cabin fever and boredom is setting in. This is where things can become dangerous because my mind is wandering and fantasizing (we all know about what). I don't feel ready to go back to work yet.

 

The high point of my day was that when I went to the bathroom I was able to clean myself with minimal difficulty. I am a bit concerned about which I haven't mentioned before is that I feel a lot of pressure in my chest, feel it when I take a deep breath and sometimes when I swallow. I have my follow-up appointment with my doctor so hopefully I will get some info about this.:unsure:

I also feel like im breathing very shallow, i feel like its the gas's fault. I get a twinge when I tried to breathe deeper.

I can totally relate and I can't wait to be past this. By the way did they give one of those spirometer??? to help gauge your breathing and get your lungs strong after surgery? They say it is important to try to inhale as deeply without discomfort as you can 10 times per hour.

nope, I didnt get one of those. But I guess my surgery is not the typical american kind, ie, I had my first appointment on mon, and the next day I decided to go for it, and surgery was on sat. no pre op diet, and barely any info for what foods to eat after. my doc also was going to give me my first fill a week after surgery, and it seems like my fills are totally up to me. good and bad points I guess.
