Hello day 2 of my new life. I woke up in terrible pain in the middle of the night last night. It was throbbing incision pain, i was able to take some codine tablets, which i was glad i had no problem swallowing. It eased the pain enough for me to be able to fall back asleep, but it was right back with an accompanying migraine too in the morning. I went to the store with my family and walked walked walked, which helps a lot with the bloated feeling, but i did go to the pharmacy to ask for pain meds that do not have codine, as i would hate to become too attached to them. My hubby and kids have been such a great help, and my big boy is great company while everyone else is resting. It is slowly starting to feel more like Christmas and i look forward to spending a lot of quality time with loved ones and not obsessing about food. I have given up soda as of the night before surgery, that could be also the reason behind my headaches, no caffeine from my Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. Just as well as the stuff is so bad for you anyway. Glad to report no shoulder pain just incision pain, but as long as i use the tylanole it will keep it under wraps. Merry Christmas Everyone!!

So i am 2 days post op and feeling pretty good. I had to stay in hospital over night because my band had been filled too much ( 6lms in my 10ml band) so i had to wait for the surgeon to come in the next morning to take out 2mls. It went great. My husband and kids are doting and caring for me so much, and my Mother bought over some homemade chicken soup, it was so delicious. I am typing this at 1am as i woke up with really bad gas and surgical incision pain, so i took 2 codine pills and am feeling SO much better. I am beyond excited that i did this surgery as feel like a new women already.

Spent 4 days in Hawaii on a work assignment, and maintained my weight. The office was about a mile away, so I didn't get a car and walked to work each day. While my food choices could have been healthier, I listened to my band and life was good.
