Day 5 after Lap Band!

Today is day five for me. The pain is minimal but I am terrified that I will get something lodged in my band and I will start puking. I do struggle a bit with taking all my medications that I need to take. I use a pill splitter and a scissor, but still it is a struggle. To get the water and pills down without filling my pouch. I am sure I will adjust in time. I am feeling some cravings of foods I loved pre-banding but know that it is not something I can having right now. For Instance, I would love to go purchase a hamburger from McDonald's. A big juicy one like a McDouble...hmmmm. I don't know why I am craving things like this now, when I didn't really like them before. Hooray I am down 19 pounds total today!!! :rolleyes: I do have several friends now that are watching hows this works for me and then if it is successful they will do it. It seems like a bit of pressure, probably pressure I don't really need right now. ..

Congrats . . . it sounds like you're doing great! I know when I was pregnant, I craved a salty margarita more than anything, and I really didn't drink them that often before. Think it was just the fact that I knew I couldn't have it. Probably the same with you and McDonalds :-)

Yeah I agree with MrsMustang..you are craving things you just cant have. Also, you need to make sure your head isn't playing tricks on you!! Make sure your belly is hungry before you eat unless it has been 4 hours. Taking your meds will get easier or you will just get used to it..not sure which it is. I know I am in the same boat. At first it took my a 1/2 hour to take my meds..finally I am down to a couple of minutes. Take care and keep up the great work!!
