Banded :-)

[demarie87 13]

I had my Lapband surgery this morning:-) I am a huge baby when it comes to pain, so I thought I'd be miserable, but I feel good! Every hour I'm feeling better and better. I have few gas pains, sleep often, and walk every hour or so for a few minutes. The worst was that I had to be pricked 10 times for an IV, because they could not find my veins! I also woke up very sick to my stomach ( I am very sensitive and get nauseous easily) but now feel great and i have had chicken broth and an ice pop, although I was not hungry- just thirsty! My family is eating chicken and although it smells great, I am surprised I have no desire to eat it. I was definitely fearful of this diet bc I love eating and cooking ( as we all do I'm sure) ! Anyway I am new to this and just looking for some support to assist me on this journey! It's an exciting time in my life as I am graduating from grad school next month

i was just banded on Thursday, welcome to the club! Walking is the most help for me but the liquid diet is a little hard to do but i found some smoothies i like and V8 is good too!

Welcome to the club! Fortunately, I did not experience nausea but the doctor gave mean Emend pull hours prior to the surgery with a very small sip of Water.
