jtrek 0 Posted March 22, 2006 I got my band yesterday(21st). I had my surgery at 8:30am, and was up drinking baium at 2pm for Doctor to see if things were passing ok. I got home around 6pm. I had to cut my pain pills into 4ths to be able to take them....let me tell you after 8 chunks and some sips of Water I felt so full. Today hasn't been as bad. My mom and I took the girls to school and went to Target and SteinMart and a few other little shops. LOL hubby won't believe I was able to go out and spend his money today!!!! thanks to all of you who pepped talk me in the days prior to my surgery!!!!

jtrek 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks for all your kind words and support!!!! :update: I have gone out Shopping/walking each day since surgery. Today mainly walking but did buy some sf Jello at Walmart.< /span> You won't believe what cruel punishment I inflicted on myself Wednesday night(1 day post-op) I grilled steaks, made a nice salad & greenbeans for my Mom, Hubby and girls. Then I sat at dinner table while they ate.......:phanvan but hey I survived it!!! I even cooked again last night, but tonight Mom was gone and I let Hubby fend for the girls!!!! My stomach sure growls alot but I have been eating Jello, drinking some(little bit) high protien slim fast, tea, Water, coffee. I haven't had to take the pain meds since Wednesday....so I am happy so far with the way I feel!!! Love to all Y'all here at LBT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
