Weight Loss - Diet Ticker">

Hello, I am new here and I just want to say... I was banded on July 19th 2010 and days after my procedure I was in so much pain I thought death would be better than this! I had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia and pain meds. The pain meds made me sick to my stomach which caused dry heaves which caused soreness. I swore I could feel my intestines move! I could not take any pain meds so I was suffering with the bloating and the movements and the tenderness. Each day got better... and better... I didn't feel hungry and was afraid of hurting if I ate anything in the wrong manner. I stuck to broth and thin protien shakes. I was at work 5 days later but had to go home due to discomfort. (scheduled for 12 hr shift) I returned to work on the 6th day for a 1/2 day and felt better. I worked 7 more days straight after that! I can eat more than I should (still small quantities). I can eat things I shouldn't. (meatballs and nuggets) All within these two weeks. I was thinking... WHAT A WASTE of PAIN! But now after reading all these blogs, I see that sometimes all of that is normal and once I receive my first fill I should be back on track. I have lost 10 pounds in 13 days. I will chaulk it up to Water weight since I havent poo'd in two weeks. (Sorry for that but com'on we all are sharing our most personal lapband experiences to help others right?):wub:

Good to know Aunt Suzie!!! Will try that ASAP! LOVE IT!
