January 2013 Bandsters Unite

[gowalking 10,790]

For those of you recently post op or soon to be banded, I'm ten days post op, feeling pretty good though still a little sore around the incisions. First day of mushies....protein shake for breakfast...had two hours of conference calls and didn't want to try to eat while on the phone. But for lunch, scrambled eggs, and a sugar-free pudding for a snack. Just finished some tuna w/ lo-fat mayo for dinner. So far, everything went down just fine and I'm feeling satisfied with 3 oz. of tuna. if i get hungry later...soup maybe. Just wanted to give you all a little update to let you know it gets better. I know we hear that from folks who are months or even years down the road but I wanted to let you know from one newbie to all you newbies what to expect. Congrats to us all making this journey.

Thank you so much for that update! It is great to hear positive! Right now this gas is annoying and makes it very hard to get your liquid because the is in the way. Thank you again!

Just got home! So far the gas is the only pain I feel right now. My throat is very scratchy & dry. The dr found a huge hiatal hernia that he had to repair with stitches inside. I can't tell if it's the gas or inside stitches on the hernia that's causing the pain. I'm about to take my pain meds and go to sleep. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. You guys rock! Good Night.
