Renewedhope... just wondering how it's going?

and Jeannie... are things still going well. Nov 16 is getting closer and closer. are you on the sugar busters pre op diet?

Slimshady...congrats on insurance approval. did you get a date set?

I am doing ok. Having a lot of gas pain. We decided to go to Walmart last night, and that was too much. I plan on taking it very easy today. Overall, I am doing very well.

Renewedhope,

i can relate. the day after my surgery we went to Hobby Lobby and i over did it. i paid for it the next day. I didn't have a lot of gas pain but they say walking helps (I couldn't do a whole lot of walking though due to nausea). Hope you feel better.

I feel better this morning. I think the walking at Walmart probably helped. One of the reasons I went was because of the gas pain. I think I just stayed too long. I am having much less gas today. I slept very well last night. I am having a little watery/bloody drainage from my port incision site. I have a cal in to the doctor. I am hoping it is no big deal. I just put a peice of gauze and tape over it. It's not draining a lot, but it is draining. I will keep you posted.

have a great day!!

I am on the Sugar Busters diet I never realized how much I take in as far as white flour and sugar. Now I know why i am fat! I am getting very excited in exactlythree weeks i will be banded, I can not wait!!!! How are you doing? are you all healed up yet? Take care and keep in touch.

Jeannie,

I am doing great!!! I feel like everythings back to normal now...just waiting to get my 1st fill on Nov. 1st. I've been walking almost everyday and actually started jogging a little. I found that the sugar busters diet wasn't all that bad because i still got to have bread and carbs in whole grain form. I'm really excited for you. Thanks for all the support and keep me posted on your progress. God bless!!!!

Just giving an update on my surgery. I was banded Oct. 18. No fill yet, but I have already lost 16 pounds. Started Protein Shakes which is going well. My incision sites are all healing except one. One has opened and draining slightly, but the docs said it was okay, just ot keep it clean and covered!
