July Butterflies Master Thread

[BeverlyDiane 0]

I am doing fine. My gallbladder is out and my lap band is in. No pain, only some discomfort. Can do all for myself and only need my DH to pick things off the floor that I drop - lol. I now believe all who said it wasn't that bad. Of course, being from Missouri, I had to see it to believe it :eek:. No gas pains as yet, hope they stay away. I went in at 11am and was on my way home around 2:30pm. They had me in a chair as soon as I reached my room and walking soon after to the bathroom. Those not banded yet, really listen to this from all the others. The nurse kept emphasizing it and I truly think this is one reason I have not had a problem with the gas yet. Okay, medication is kicking in and I must move to my recliner. Till later...

Thanks for all the concern, prayers and well wishes. They were very appreciated.

Thank you SO MUCH! These are great ideas! I was just about to ask how I can get some Protein in there :thumbup: Thanks so much!

Hi PDX, it looks like you were banded just 2 days before me and you and I have similar amounts to lose BUT I notice you've lost 2x as much as I have. I haven't lost any in the 2nd week since surgery. Are you having consistent weight loss and were you on liquids for long? I was on liquids for 24 hours then soft foods. I have very little restriction.
