Happy 54th Birthday OzziesMom!

Hi Anne! Just checking in to see how you're doing. I've been so careful with my eating, but have somehow managed to gain two pounds...it has to be water, can't understand it otherwise.

I know what you mean about having no restriction on my band--feel like it isn't even there. My family doctor checked me the other day and thought I was doing great...I've been putting Neosporin on my incisions and they look great.

I'm going to try to schedule a fill for the first week of January--hopefully that will jump start the losing process.

Let me know how you're doing.

Thanks for the encouragement. Wow, 20 lbs. I hope I do that great. They didn't put me on a diet prior to the surgery. I was surprised. I've lost 6 lbs. so far. I started yogurt today, Alma said we could when we got home. I don't have that full feeling yet. I don't think he put any fluid in my band. Guess it has to wait for swelling to go down. I really don't want to mess this up, but I'm hungry some of the time. Will just take a while to get used to this and then I will get my fill in 6 weeks. Write me.

Hola! I got back from Mexico yesterday. I cannot get over how nice everyone was there. I had surgery last year at a local hospital. When I asked for help, the nurses told me they did not have time to take care of me. Not so with the staff at Dr. Zapata' hospital. They were great! I did not have the nausea issues after surgery. Thanks to your post. I asked for antinausea meds before and after surgery and they worked great. The worst thing I experienced was the migraines I got because I couldn't drink any Diet Coke or Dr. Pepper. I didn't realize how addicted I was to the caffeine. The morning I flew home, I thought I wasn't going to make it. Had to get up at 5:30 AM and be ready to go at 6:30 am, and then didn't arrive home until 3 PM. Long day, but I survived. Now I'm dealing with food withdrawals. I'm sure you know what that feels like. No body can prepare you for the transformation from eating everything in sight to clear liquids! Hope you are well!
