6 Days post lap band

Hi every one just had it done last monday in TJ. Im still feeling sore and gassy. Getting better every day though.Maybe the soreness is from the lady crashing into me at the airport on my way back home:( Im feeling a lil week im so glad ill be able to get my protein drinks down me on monday.Im so glad its over and now i can be on my way to a healthy me! Im in the eugene area and i really want to know if theres any support groups out there?  Simone Mary

Welcome to being a bandster :)  What are you drinking now  You should be able to drink protein drinks 24 hours after surgery. Remember 60 grams of protein a day is very important in loosing weight and staying healthy. You also should make sue that you dont let yur sugar levals drop too much. Im not aware of any eugene support groups, I have one in McMinnville but its two hours from you. Make sure and spend time on the Lap band Forum as well.

If you hava any questions or just need a band friend feel free to email. Gail  Banded 10/2004 size 20/22 a Happy size 8/10 

 

Hi there.  Congratulations on coming through the surgery with flying colors.  We do have a support group here in Eugene.  We've been getting together at Kim G's, but she just moved to a new house and has been really busy.  I imagine she'll post when she's ready for us all again! Linda
