October Bandsters?

[ladymarshall 61]

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you don't have a heating pad' date=' you can use a sock full of rice. Just zap it in the microwave for a minute or two. I forgot that I didn't have one and was totally not interested in going to the store so I did the rice thing. My Nana taught that to me years and years ago.

Also, I just added a new entry in my blog about my surgery. You have to be my friend to view it, but if you add me just click on blog. I put up a picture of my band (the actual band, inside of me. Lol.) if anyone wants to see. Dr. Reilly gave it to me for a souvenir. Haha. Pretty cool![/quote']

How do I become your friend. Dr Reily is my doctor would love to hear more.

Today is my first day back to work . I got up extra early because my band is really tight in the morning and I've been having problems with nausea in the am. So far so good.

I got banded on the 8th and have been doing really well, but yesterday I felt horrible. I had body aches and felt like I was coming down with something. Has anyone else felt like this? I am wondering if it was gas or maybe Constipation.< /p>

All of you newbies...

Follow your doctor's post op diet. Even though you can tolerate food, you should be following your program. Your insides need to heal! Most likely you have nothing or very little in your band until your six week visit. Therefore, when you are feeling good, you can eat anything! This is part of your training, follow the rules and learn to eat small amounts, chew, chew, chew and drink lots after you eat. Eating slow and waiting to drink will help you feel full. Be patient and enjoy what you are eating. Make every bite worth it. It is not a race.

Good luck to you all!
