I am Home and Banded!!

So I am an official card carrying member of the Lap Band club!! Surgery went great and I would do it again in a heartbeat.. I guess everyones reaction is different because I was the last person banded and I was walking around as soon as I got into the recovery room. I did really great.. I had very little pain and was full of energy. I was sucking on ice chips and sipping water the first day and I guess the cold water constricted my stomach because I had 1 small pb of water and saliva.. I hope I didn't slip the band.. I guess I didn't because fluoro was done the next day and everything looked fine. I have been drinking Isopure so I got 80 grams of protein the day after surgery and today..No more pb just taking it really slow and making sure everything I drink is room Temperature.. I wanted to thank Midwesterngirl for keeping everyone up to date on my status(lap band forum) and I wanted to thank everyone that sent me well wishes and cangratulatory statements!! I am really happy to have this done and can't wait to be all healed up!!

You were sucking on WHAT in the recovery room?????!!!!! Congrats and welcome back... 80 of protein is great... sip sip sip chew chew chew chew....walk walk walk.... go get 'em tiger russ

Well, I was hoping to get my protein in another way but sadly all I had was Isopure. I am sipping and just waiting to be able to get to full liquids so that I can actually feel like I am eating again!

When you get to soft food...I got a great lasagana... russ

Oh hell Russ, share now. I am on soft foods and going nuts since I am not eating much after an incident I had Sunday.

Here you go Russ

Welcome home and best of luck, my little cub-friend
