Got home, got my doona and tv set up, and just lounged around, every hour trying to squeeze in a walk to keep the circulation going. Boy it was a struggle to get up off that couch, you dont really realise how much you actually use your stomach muscles. Day 1 i was abit sad, the night to go to sleep was difficult your not on strong pain killers as you are in hospital, you find it harder to go to sleep, but you copy the fowler position in hospital to get to sleep. I was Sip, Sip Sipping away, although to be honest i couldnt be bothered... its so hard just to sip sip sip when your use to drinking in large quantaties but i guess u manage. As each day goes it gets better though the pain and general mobility although the sleeps can get annoying and COUGHING ouch, thats a killer each time i cough i think one of my stomach stiches will come undone or my band will slip but i generally think that all the time, abit of paranoia i have, with the constant cramps and discomfort. But i guess the only time you should be concerned is if you have a high temperature over38 degreees. Other then that Dah.. you had surgery!!

I am today on my 5th day since surgery!! yesterday was i killer i wanted to EAT!!! everyone says they are fine and you are bloated etc.. but i wasnt so today although i still wanted to kill my family for eating dinner and me staring at my water and sipping it at the time, i was better i bought more liquids to have. I supplied myself with Up&Go and finding its giving me my energy back and less moodiness, yday i was balling my eyes out of hunger and discomfort. And i still need to update my lemonade iceblock supply and got some sustagen for more variety. For dinners as i like something warm i have some chicken soup, sieved ofcourse. I cant wait to get to MUSH food!!!!!!!!!!! its depressing!! another thing i found hard, is when your preparing something for someone else its so hard, my head is in a habit of licking my fingers and almost had a piece of carrot and lettuce Aaaaaah ... lucky i spat it out!! :tt2:

Hello! Congrats on being banded and making it this far!! I know this month or so is actually the hardest! Once you make it to your first fill it is hard! I will help you now and after that help you get thru this time!! Many people on this site will also help you!! It is so worth it. I was banded 11/23/9 and have lost 112 lbs.

When you do start eating mushies? Are you able to drink milk or protein shakes?? What is your protocal? Where do you live? Please take care!

Hi all, I was banded on 7/9/2010. Am feeling good although the need to chew something is nagging. I have berocca in the morning and sustagen at night to help with nutrients. My stab sites are healing well, have started to exercise a little more and hope to get back to zumba and work next week. I live in Launceston Tasmania
