May Bandsters!

[andi525 8]

I was banded may 4th so I am about 9 days post opp. Doing pretty good I think, still sore in the am but overall the piano is pretty much gone. Tomorrow I can start on mushy food! Yay! Can't really think of what to eat and I can't find my paper work from the nutritionist ... Any ideas besides mashed potatoes and thicker Soups?

My incisions look kind of funny... I really hope they heal well, one is like an inch long does everyone else have that?

I had plication too and I don't feel

Hungry at all! I do get light headed though as if I was hungry... I guess it's my body adjusting?

I need to walk more and drink more Water, I'm finally starting to feel like myself again do looking forward to getting on a routine this week.

My stomach growls and gurgles a lot! All day! Not sure what that's about lol

Good luck to the rest of the May bandsters! Glad we have each other!

Forgot to mention I'm down 10 lbs since may 1st!! I'm shocked!! I'm assuming some will come back after I eat some mushy foods...

So what exactly does one do being at the hospital 3 hrs early for surgery?!

Well, I'm up this mooring and getting ready to go to the hospital. I'm not nervous right now, I'm so tired I'm ready to go back to sleep. I have benn a ball of nerves though up until now, ready as I'm going to be. So long waiting for this and it is about to be over in a flash, but then I'll be just beginning. So excited for the change I've been looking for.

@bbbanded Congrats!

All of you getting banded today, wish you all the best! Come on here as soon as you feel up to it and let us know how you're doing. xo

I have a question about my incisions for those of you who have been banded... I have 5 (I thought there would be 4) and each one is a different size' date=' one is about an inch long, the others a half inch or smaller, is that normal? I never thought I would have one that big?? I was told I wouldn't have any scaring but I'm pretty sure that big one will leave a scar... Just want to make sure I'm not the only one??[/quote']

My largest incision is a lot bigger than I expected too! I think this is normal though. It fits in nicely with my stretch marks. Lol!

I am doing well on my liquid diet so far. I have lost about 16 lbs since the 3rd. I'm feeling like I need more to eat but for the most part I'm not hungry n I'm eating all I'm allowed to have. I really hate the Protein drinks, waiting on new ones to arrive. Getting nervous tho. Bloodwork Wednesday, weighing Thursday, n Friday is the big day! Wish me luck....

Not eating all I'm allowed. Sometimes I can't type. Lol oh and I've not cheated once.

It's really nice to hear someone tell you if anyone can do it you can. My husband has a lot of faith in me n I'm so blessed to have him.
