Your right about the walking I do allot of it, it helps and makes you feel so much better. It's just so boring lol me and my four cats lol....they are driving me nuts. This week is hard but I will get though it. I know next week will be better.
Thank you for all your help I need. O one thing...did you get like sad the first few days? I cried allot today I don't know why. I felt so blue. It's past now but I just felt so sad. I had Home Car Visiting Nurse out to check on me today that was great my blood pressure was so prefect and it hasn't been in years lol. Now how are you doing? How much weight have you lost now?

Does anybody NOT throw up?
lisafitz replied to ohjuly7878's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Banded Aug 5th and never ever felt like I had to throw up. Sore around my left side were the port is and I put ice on it. I am a beach person and this has been hard staying away from the beach. Bored and tired of jello, crystal light, watered cranberry juice, etc. Just can't wait to get going and start my pudding, applesauce, yogurt next week. Can't wait to excrise....just want to get back to healthy way of living and lose weight. Aug 5th was the best ever. The best decision I have ever made so very happy -
Good Morning,
Well I had my lapband done Aug 5th and came home on the 6th. It's 5 days now I am still sore and only drinking liquids....jello, crystal light, etc. Yesterday I was depressed I wanted something other then jello, or juice or broth. I'm not hungry at all, but I am bored to death. I am usually down the shore every weekend and here I sit. I am going insane. My daughters are all down the shore my husabnd fishing, my bests friend (sister in law) is down the shore. lol I am going nuts. But I go back to the doctors on Wed the 13th and then I can at least start eating yogurt and applesauce, cottage cheese and I have to go get my Whey prtein powder and drinks. I am ready to start this but I know I have to get well and heal first. I am going to try and sit in the sun today at least. Well how are you doing?

Thanks ...... I have been putting ice on my stomach to help the wounds lol that's what I call them. I'm not really hungry.......I just think I should be able to grab something and I can't, it's weird.....but good at the same time. I guess by the 4th day I should feel better then I do now......I haven't climb my stairs yet or got a shower. I am waiting until tomorrow to do so. I am eating jello and I did have some nonfat plain yogurt, with splenda and it went down and felt good...just a shot glass. I am use to grabbing an apple or some blueberries, almonds and just munching on that and I can't. I think I didn't realize how much I ate though the day......now I am learning. This will be all good in the long run.....I just can't wait now until I go back and see if I lost anything and how I am doing. What are you eating?

I am so very sore.....just on liquids this week. Go back to doctors next week, then I can eat something more. I have to sa two in the hospaitl would have been better not one night and def not out the same day. I am so sore and in pain I can't begin to tell you. I just want to sleep and get up and down with out pain. But it's only three days now and I have to deal. I think once I am not in pain then I'll know how I like being banded. Right now it just hurts.

hi everyone, i'm jamie, please help
lisafitz replied to jamie760's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes you are were I was two weeks ago. lol It just insane's you. Now I am only 5 days away. The doctors office told me it could be 2 weeks before I get my letter of either approval or "denied" eww no but the nurse said that if I get a "denied" that it is something they can fix and send back in for approval. So waiting for "The Letter" was the most stressful time ever, well up there with all the many stressful times lol. Then when I did get my letter I read it hundred times and called the doctor. I didn't believe it was real. Then they gave me my band date and now it's just been waiting to get my life started. I'm 50 yrs now so geting back to my weight thirty years ago I don't know I was 120 lbs, now 216 lbs I was 224lbs. I think if I goes well and I lose the weight I would like to be around 135 lbs to 145 lbs I'm 5'5 so that should be a good healthy weight, not to skinny. I even but myself I pair of Levis in May that are a size 12 lol so I can not wait to wear them. lol I just can't believe that I really could be going into a small size, oh boy....I am so excited and so many things going though my head. Well good luck to you and keep me posted. Let me know when you get the letter of approval. Lisa:biggrin:
