Hi Laura,
I am feeling better today, everyday gets a little bit better. The gas pains are still there, but not as much. I am not taking much pain medication anymore, but a little sore and bloated feeling. I have no appetite and have to struggle to get a whole protein drink down! Did your doctor fill your band at all at the time of surgery? Mine explained to me that in the beginning the stomach is swelled enough to cause some restriciton and then at 6 weeks, I get a real fill. I am so glad to hear you are doing so well at 2 weeks postop! And 2 lbs. lost! Yeah! It will be fun to watch the scales drop and the clothes sizes go down! Yippee!! I am trying to take it easy and not over do it. I have been walking some, but tire real easy. Take care and hope to talk to you soon!
