so It has been two days since my born band day and I have to say I am feeling pretty good. now I'm not jumping and doing tons of work like other people make it seem...but I am moving around, being able to get up easier and faster. BUT!!!!! the best thing of all was that I was able to sleep with only waking up once in the night because I could sleep on my side (with some heavy cushions). Now I'm a stomach sleeper, so sleeping on my back was torture thinking about it and that first night oh man...if that was a foreshadowing I don't think I would ever sleep again. but man it felt good.<div><br></div><div>I've been walking around the house a lot and I'm actually going out later to walk around the store. the gas has gone down, less shoulder pain. a little pain at the incision sites but nothing too unbearable. Now I have a pain buster call an On Q-pump which I don't know if everybody else had but it delivers pain directly to the pain site so that I'm pretty sure help. the only only downside is that I can't shower till it comes off (which should be coming off tomorrow).  I had my protein shake for breakfast (which took me like an 1hr and a haf  but I'm having some trouble drinking the one for lunch...I'm just not hungry. honestly who can think about food because I sure haven't.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>well I don't have anything else to share....I write this not only for me to remember this journey but also for those of you who will be going through it soon. I was in the position you were and I always looked for post that gave me an idea of what I would be going through. </div><div><br></div><div>I will continue if you desire but if not its ok and inform me and will keep these private <img src="http://www.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" alt=":)" class="bbc_emoticon"></div><div><hr>

Congrats, I too am 2 days post-op and am feeling pretty good. I went out yesterday to JC Penney to walk the gas off and it worked!!!!! No more shoulder pain today and only discomfort I feel is from the incision site of the port. I'm very excited!!!!! I'm glad to hear that you're able to get protein down, I can only take about 2 tsp and I've been sipping water, I ate a 1/4 of a SF popsicle last night. Today I heard my stomach growl and it made me laugh, because for the first time ever......I wasn't hungry.....i hear the 3rd day is a good day and hope to get a little protein in me tomorrow. This has definitely been an exciting journey and to think we're just starting. My post-op appt is Tues and can't wait to see what the scale says. I wish you the best and know that we all need to hear.. everyone's recovery will be different but when you read about others' post op recovery it is enlightening...:rolleyes:
