Finally, its done! I am sore today but am sipping Protein Shake, Water, and pain meds. I am also getting up and walking a bit. I am so glad it wasn't worse, i know i can return to work next Monday. I had surgery at 3:45 and was home by 8 pm, and it was a 2 hour drive home. I am so glad i listened to yal's advice and didn't try to drive home myself.

now just gotta find out how to get a ticker and post pix!

Congrats:)

Hope you lose weight and reach you goal. Keep us updated with your news since I'm thinking about getting a band, and I'd like to know how it feels in the first few days/weeks.

Good luck

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement! I am feeling quite well tonight. I went outside and watered the grass this evening. Also did the dishes and was able to drink all my required shakes plus two small cups of broth today. I slept part of the day and at one point dreamt that I "accidentally" forgot my diet and ate a few bites of pizza.....interesting. I felt a bit hungry but not the usual desperate, I-gotta-have-carbs type of hunger. It was genuine hunger that went away when I had a shake.< /p>

I get my first fill in 2 weeks! I am so excited about losing weight! One of the surgeons told me that I would definitely be able to feel lighter by Xmas.

Happy and Joyful Tonight!
