4 days PO...

Monday was my surgery and by Tues at 4:30p I was on my way out of the hospital. The pain from the gas and the port site were the two that have caused me much grief. I am having problems with eating or should I say, not being hungry...trying to get the protein & water in is a chore but I am just 4 days out. So I will not worry about it as long as I am healing and getting better every day. Down 6 lbs already! Thank you all for you prayers and support. I tried a few times to post before I went in but the site wouldn't let me. So please forgive me for being on the late side with my thanks! Will keep you posted on my progress. Losin'L

Hey---Glad you are home and felling good. I also had the Lap Band and I am 11 days post op.....I am still not that hungry....I have learned just to do it slow and dont pu**** Let me know if you have any questions....also since you are not having hunger now you may not have to have a first fill that is what my doc said....I'm still go in for check up but may not have to get a fill. I hope all goes will for you. Jenn 398/374/175

Thanks Jenn, Best wishes to your WLS success. I SMELL different foods and it triggers my mind to being hungry but then I try to eat soup or something along those lines and can get in about 2 tbsp. I am getting 2 - 3 protein shakes a day and trying to get in the water as much as i can...not bad for week out. I was told that I would need to get a fill in about 6 wks or so...if the weight stops coming off, then it is time for a fill. So, I will watch and see. Will weigh myself either Wed or at my follow up on Thurs. Only doing it once a week so I don't get obsessed with it.But knowing me I WILL be in the dr's office in 6wks for the first fill. What I have noticed is that my fat is now softer...I weighted 230+ and majority of everyone I know never thought I was "that overweight" ?? but I packed it on VERY thickly in certain places. I am still sore and tired alot but will pick up the daily exercise to combat that. Thanks again for your support Losin'L
