Hi I was banded in Fisher IN by Dr McEwan on 9/20. For about the first 11 days post-op I felt like I had eaten a 10 course meal after sips of clear fluid, and had nasty heartburn. I stopped taking my pills for about 5 days and felt much better. I progressed to cream soup and V8 yesterday, today I purreed some (apro 1/4 c) carrots, and a couple tbsp of pork and was able to tolerate that, but feel very, very full again. But no heartburn and have been able to take my meds for 2 days now. I started at 243lbs on consult day, surgery day was 228lb, and according to my scale am 216lb today- 2 weeks post-op. My goal is to get below 200 by Christmas. Post op I have been very tired and sleeping alot:notagree , but I am always tired so I expected that. Go for my post-op apt Thursday. Keep strong, follow the plan. Back to work on Friday.... :grouphug: I turn 40 soon, what a fabulous birthday gift!
