On March 22, 2011 I began my new life with my lap band!!! yay finally! Here is what I have gone threw in the past 5 days. The day I got home I was totally out of it but I did manage to eat my soup 1/4 cup 3 times that day and slept alot. The next day I was feeling really good and even went to the book store to get some books, my hubby drove! lol I thought wow this is not as bad as I thought, although a little dizzy if I stood to long. When I had my galbladder removed it took me forever to recover. 3 day I began to eat cream of wheat of wheat 1/4 cup and plain yogurt not quite 1/4 cup felt full, then at 1230 the same but I began to feel light headed and not sure what was going on. I did take calcium and vitamin D liquid that morning. My husband took me for a short drive and I was just not feeling it so I decided to take a shower. I told my little girl to stay close by because I was just not feeling right. I was in the shower and it felt so good and then I felt like everything was getting dark and really light headed. I yelled for my little girl. I couldnt stand so I layed on the bed and had her turn the fan on. I tried to stand and well not happening. I just layed there and let it pass and prayed I would not pass out. By the time my husband got home with my son it has passed. I went back to sticking with broths and no liquid vitamins just my flinstones with iron. 4th day (friday) Husband decided he needed to stay home with me just incase. He wanted me to go for a ride with him to get me out of the house. So I went and I felt really good just not all there. I ate some soup and yogurt in the am and sipped on protein shake all day and water. 5thday (Sat) I ate the same stuff but felt hungrier. My husband said it was a good thing because that means I am healing. But I felt like eating whatever BUT I didnt! I just had protien shakes and jello. I went to mass that day and while kneeling I began to feel dizzy so I sat down. Today is 5th day (Sun) and I am feeling a little more like me now! YAY!!! I got on the scare and I am at 247.2 day of surgery I was at 258. I have had lots of gas and been burping a lot...Can anyone tell me why I am burping a alot what can I do to prevent it? Also I cant sleep good since I am used to sleeping on my tummy. I know in time things will pass and I will be back to living a normal life well except for over eating. I am going to keep a daily diary on here because I want to help people that do it and have questions. Please add me as your friend and begin a new life with me.
