Hi everyone I'm back, day 4!

Hi, okay so I've been not even thinking about the computer, but today I'm feeling really good so I wanted to post.  I had surgery on Tuesday and came home on Thursday. No complications, no nausea, everything has been pretty great except my tummy being so sore it's hard for me to move around, get out of bed, etc.  The worst part was probably the day after surgery.  I was in a lot of pain but once I got on schedule with pain meds it was okay.  My angel (Betty) was great, she stayed with  me and my mom that whole day (even though I was a big whiny baby yelling for pain meds).  Yeah, I was so bloated but today, I'm feeling it a little less, I took Reglan last night which is supposed to help.  Plus I've been walking around the house a lot to get it out.  Yesterday, my first day out, I actually got in 50 oz of water and about 60 oz of protein.  Like I said, no nausea here.   By the way, I'm not getting on scale until I go to my 2-week appointment because I know I'm bloated.   Oh, and my stomach is so rumbly loud!  Oh well, whatever gets me on the looser's bench. LOL  Talk to yall later.

Congrats and glad you are feeling pretty good!

Hey, good to hear from everyone.  Thanks for the encouragement.  I'll continue to pray for everyone on here for recovery and for upcoming surgery dates.  By the way, today I feel much in regard the soreness.  I get up and down out of bed and chairs by myself now.  Big difference.  Talk to yall later!

I am so glad your home and are doing good.!!!

Glad it's going well.   Thanks for reminding me to go for my walk.

It's great to hear you're doing so well!  I was banded the same day, and am still very bloated also.  I had the worst sore muscles on Day 2 from moving around awkwardly trying not to strain my incisions.  But that is almost gone as of Day 4, and the sore throat is gone.  But the bloating continues.  I can feel my band under my sternum, and when I swallow pills I can feel them, but they aren't stuck really.

Initially I gained weight after surgery - I may have been dehydrated, and drinking again added a few lbs.  So I hope to see that plus a few more lbs in a week...

Take care!
