New Band 12-2-08

[santhony 0]

I was banded on 12-2 and it has been 5 days since I could have liquids. By day three I was feeling a little better but having some pressure/ pain/ nausea that I wasn't sure about. I found this site and read some threads and I'm pretty sure its a combination of gas and hunger. By today its been better, not as much pain, but I'm sooooooooo sick of liquids. I am supposed to meet with my surgeon on Wed. (8 days after surgery) and can start pureed / mushy foods then, which I'm looking forward to. But to be honest I wouldn't mid having just plain food- in small portions of course. But I'm looking at this as my Christmas present to myself, because I've has thousands of meals but what I've wanted all my life is to be healthy and not overweight.

Sounds like you're doing great. I was banded on the 2nd also (very popular date)... yea, the liquids get old fast and if I never eat Jello again it will be too soon... but you're lucky to be on "mush" by tommorrow... I have to go a full two weeks! Happy Holidays, and congrats to you!!!
