Rebekahrefurbished

Hi everyone! My name is Rebekah and I was banded on 11-18-11 and have found this forum to be very helpful! I am still home recovering and taking it easy. I had hiatal hernia repair, so I am taking a little bit longer to recover than I had expected. I am very excited about my journey and things have gone pretty well so far. I've not been sick at all, just uncomfortable from incisions. My surgeon was great and so was the entire staff at my hospital. Feel free to say hi and give me any advice you think I might find useful!! <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wUWdk46/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wUWdk46/weight.png"></a>

Thanks everyone for the advice! Today has been really great. I got out for a bit this evening and did some shopping and treated myself to a pedicure. hehe. It felt good to move around. I really didn't feel any discomfort at all besides getting in and out of the car. My best friend drove because I didn't feel I was quite ready for that. Every day definitely is getting better. I have been sticking to all liquids. I'm not brave enough to chance anything! I was very blessed to have the surgeon I had and the hospital. My family doctor actually recommended him to me and since his office is super close to my work, it all worked out. Couldn't have asked for a better experience prior to surgery and after. I do have one more question. I tried earlier to make a tracker like the one many folks have on here and I'm not getting it right. Any help would be great. Corrigan, that is my neice Zoey. She's the apple of my eye!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I was banded the same day as you! Maybe we can help each other along. I haven't weighed myself yet, but that's because I don't have a scale at home. Probably getting one tomorrow. I use an unflavored soy Protein in my broth and in my yogurt. I know this helps keep me "regular." I got it from GNC. Hope this helps you. Rebekah
