Hey Ya'll!!!!

Sorry I didnt post yesterday, but hubby is bound and determine to make sure I get my prescribed 25 min of walking 2x a day.

So when I was dischared at 11:00am yesterday, we went to Rooms to go outlet to find new chairs for our new table. (found new table at ValuCity for 100) Its a bar height table, so I had to find taller chairs.

Then when we got the chairs, I came home, took a nap, then we went out again, this time to Target and got chewable Centrum, orange flavored. Which aren't bad. Reminds me of orange Flintstone's Vitamins.< /p>

I want to go to Wally world today to find aloe vera juice. I forgot to get some the other day.

But, I dont know if I will go out. On the orders that Dr B left with the nurse said I cant take a shower till tomorrow. I feel sooooooo nasty.

I could have sworn when I was still good and stoned on morphine, which I HATE HATE HATE, he said I could shower today.

I will never do Morphine again.

IT made me soooooo dizzy.

Girl, if you can go to RTG and Walmart, and Target, I'm betting it's fine to take a shower. If the incisions are the issue, don't scrub them at all, let the Water flow over then gently pat them dry when you are done. Clean and dry. Shooo weeeeeee! Take a shower! LOL

Welcome to Bandland, Wavy! You're like one of those amazing stories we hear about people going shopping right after surgery! I can't believe you went from the hospital to go furniture shopping, and then out shopping again! That's crazy! *laughs*

Anyway, welcome home and grats on getting your band.

*hugs*

Well, I had to walk, and I was only going to do it in the A/C.

Hubby did the sweetest thing for me this morning. He washed my hair in the sink for me.

So I did to go to Wally World today, since I dont stink anymore.

Tomorrow I get to take the bandages off and let soapy Water run over them.

Do you know if it will sting?

Well I totally over did it today.

I slept til 11am, and woke up just starving. But instead of downing a protien shake first, i was an idiot and took a hot shower. So, since then, i've been dizzy on and off. DUH DUH DUH.

Then I went shopping from 1-4.

So now I am sore and dizzy.

Im a goober. But now my tush is glued to the couch.

Oh and how long was it before you guys migrated from the reclyner to the bed?

I stayed in the recliner for 5 days, although I probably could have gone back the bed after 3. Having gas pain when I had my tubes tied, I kept waiting for it to hit, and it never did. Hey, maybe that recliner stuff really works!? :clap2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
