MY LAPBAND JOURNEY - DAY 1 POST OP SURGERY
JAN. 18, 2011 - TUESDAY - DAY 1 POST OP SURGERY - WELL I AM VERY TIRED TODAY AND GROGGY AND STILL IN ALOT OF PAIN MAINLY DUE TO NOT GETTING MUCH SLEEP AT HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT. SINCE I HAD TO HAVE A HIATAL HERNIA REPAIR AS WELL, I AM EXPERIENCING ALOT OF EXTRA POST OP PAIN! MOSTLY IN MY CHEST AND LEFT SHOULDER. SOME OF IT IS STILL FROM THE GAS THAT WAS PUT IN MY STOMACH DURING SURGERY. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE THIS PAIN A COUPLE MORE DAYS. I HAVE TO BE ON THE LIQUID DIET ALL THIS WEEK YET. THE CHOCOLATE BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE PROTEIN SHAKES 3 X DAY FOR MY MEALS. I CAN HAVE SUGAR FREE POPSICLES AND LIQUIDS AS WELL AND CLEAR BROTH OR STRAINED WATERED DOWN CREAM SOUPS. SO BACK TO THE DREADFUL PROTEIN SHAKES FOR ANOTHER WEEK! GREAT!!!!!!!!!! THEN I GO BACK TO SEE DR. MARLEY ON MONDAY FOR MY FIRST POST OP APPOINTMENT. I AM DOWN 6 MORE LBS. FOR A TOTAL WT. LOSS OF 16 LBS. TOTAL. I HOPE TO LOSE MORE WT. BY NEXT MONDAY TOO!!! I HAVE TO WALK ALOT TOO ALL THIS WEEK. IT IS GOOD TO BE HOME!! I AM GLAD THIS NIGHTMEAR IS OVER!!!
