8 days lap-band post-op!

This means only SIX MORE DAYS ON LIQUIDS!!!!! Can hardly wait for mashed potatoes and oatmeal! Overnighted in hospital, sore, tired, but happy! Went back to work today after ditching Mon. & Tues. Obviously not as young as I think I am -- I really thought I'd hop up off the operating table ready to dance rings around it, but am not recovering quite that fast! Mainly not sleeping well. Went from my comfy waterbed to regular bed, and it's killing me! When I figure out how to roll out of my waterbed without hurting my stomach, things will really improve. Am drinking so much water, I have to visit the bathroom frequently, too. A bit of advice -- if they say you need to go #2 within 2 days, believe them, don't put it off. I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room with constipation (how embarrassing!) Sunday night, but the recommended Milk of Magnesia worked!

How are you feeling? I'm looking into the surgery and have an appt September 3rd with the surgeon. Good luck! Brigitte
