Days 1-3 were hell on earth. Did I mention they were hell on earth? OMG! Day 4 I was starting to feel okay, day 5 even better and day 6...so much better! My complaints today...incision pain (no biggie, always expected that), I'm bruised all over my stomach like I went a few rounds with Mike Tyson, and my one leg is still achy and the toes are numb (not as achy as it was so I assume it is slowly improving).

 

NOW ONTO THE EXCITING (non complaining) NEWS! I had my post op visit yesterday and I am down another 9 from my post op visit for a grand total of....14!!! Woohoo! I'm absolutely thrilled. I decided to treat myself to a new eyeshadow shade at ulta. i'm a make up junkie and I decided to buy Urban Decay "Scratch." Nice... :P

 

The nutrtionist has moved me onto pureed food so I'm planning on pureeing some delish cream of mushroom soup today AND maybe trying to eat some ricotta cheese or hummus.

 

I'm still amazed by how different a person can feel in a couple of days. I was literally thinking I made a huge mistake in getting the lapband and now that I'm feeling better, I'm PSYCHED I did it!!

I too am on day 6 and it's good to hear there are others out there that had regrets... the first 3 days I was thinking maybe I should have tried WW one more time especially with all these commercials but today, I'm pumped and so glad I made this decision. I'm doing well as I'm now in the soft food stage, loving my protein drinks thanks to Chike and looking forward to a new life, so far doing everything I've been instructed to do and just hope I continue to do so.

I'm 10 days out. and 12 pounds down. I didnt regret having the surgery but I feared what everyone else would say about it. Then As i sat in my bed day 4 and 5 I said to myself " why am I giving others SO much power over my life and my decision. I'm happy and that's all that matters

I am six months out...and I can remember those first few days when I thought....if I can do this darn liquid diet for 2 weeks, I surely could have loss this weight on my own. What have I done? However, once I got to the mushy food stage, I felt so much better. I am now down 60 lbs. I absolutely love my band. It has been a wonderful tool to help me with my weight loss. Good luck as you continue to lose!:rolleyes:
