:redface:Yay! Surgery is over. I am stil in the hospital and will go home it a little while. I am one day post op. Surgery took an hour and a half and then I went to recovery for an hour and then came up to my room. I got up and walked around the floor a couple of times yesterday and walked. I had an IV, Catheter, Oxygen and a O2 monitor. THat was cumbersome but ok. I slept most of the time. (morphine)

This morning I went down to radiology for a swallow study to see if there were any leaks in my band. There wasnt so I got to start sipping on water. Then I got jello and broth and for lunch I got a little cup of carnation instant breakfast and a littl cup of creamy soup (very diluted) It has all gone down well. I am sipping on my water. I met with the Bariatric surgery coordinator and the dietician came in to talk to me. I will go home soon.

I have five port holes. One is more painful than the rest. It isnt the port one but just more tender.

Wish me well. I will check in again soon..

Congratulations on your band! I'm glad to hear everything is going well. Just keep sipping liquid and make sure you get enough walking in to keep the gas at bay!

Hi.

Thanks! I had to stay overnite in the hospital because my surgeon chooses to do that to make sure everything is ok. And it was. He did surgery at 9am. I went to my room at 1130 am and the next morning I had a swallow study at 7am to make sure the band wasnt leaking. Then I was able to start clear liquids. I went home around 3pm that day. :-)

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
