Starting to get nervous...



Recommended Posts

Ohhhh... Spaghetti sounds soooo yummy!!! I'm Italian, so I loooove that stuff! With some warm garlic bread.... Ooommmggg.....

This morning tho, I don't know why, but I was craving scrambled eggs lol. I didn't eat them very often pre-band, but just the thought of them... Maybe it's because I'm already sick of juice, Popsicles, Jello, and broth!!! At least today I was able to start drinking Protein drinks!

When did you have your surgery? How are you feeling?

I started my Protein Drinks today, and I have to tell you, I'm feeling pretty sluggish. I'm keeping it down (so far, fingers crossed) but I just don't feel as good as I have over the past three days. However, I'm in a lot less pain today, and walking is easier. When I stand up, I don't feel like it takes me so long to straighten up. I think part of the problem today too, is that I'm pretty sure I overdid things yesterday. I walked a total of 1-3/4 miles, and the dr said by 6 weeks to be able to walk 1 mile. I just feel worn out today.

Being a week post-op, have you weighed yourself yet? My husband was banded in Nov 2010. He said there may or may not be any weigh loss. All I know is, with only getting in about 70 total calories per day, and all this walking, there SHOULD be lol!!!

How awesome, plopez!!! CONGRATS!!! I'm not weighing in until this Thurs, I'll be one week post-op then. I weighed myself before I left for the surgery, and it was the same weight as my weigh in at the hospital, so I'm hoping its accurate. I'm supposed to see my surgeon for follow up the week of the 23rd, so I'm guessing he'll weigh me then, too. We shall see! I'm so glad everyone is doing well!!!

You guys have to take chewable vitamins? My surgeon insisted on these chewable ones that make me so freaking nauseated. They are pretty bad. I can't imagine taking these for life. There must be something better...what are you all taking?

I went to my local CVS drug store and bought their store brand children's chewables. They we're buy one, get one 1/2 off, so I figured, why not? If I didn't like them, my 6 y/o could have them. Honestly, they aren't bad at all! I would buy them again :)

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
