What now???

A week and 3 days sout from surgery. Not really sore now. There is a bit of tenderness of the port site still, bit only when I bed over or something. I am now on a thick liquid diet. That means pudding, yogurt, mashed potatoes etc. I am feeling hungry these days as well. My stomach isn't swollen anymore so I guess I now feel hunger. Sucks. I wasn't hungry at all the first week. What happens now? My follow up appt is Fri the 19th. I will ask about my 1st fill then.

Banded

I'm officially banded. I was banded yesterday and stayed one nite in hospital. Only had to spend the nite because it's a new procedure at this hospital. Doc said everything went wonderful. I have 5 tiny incisions and only in a bit of discomfort. I feel like I have done 4000 sit ups. Sent me home with liquid Percocet, which makes me oh so sleepy and itchy! I have been sipping on H2O all day today and have had 2 oz of protein drink for my meals. I am using Unjury protein powder that my nutritionist recommended. It tastes pretty good. It comes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and unflavored. It also comes in chicken soup flavor to make broth with. So far have only tried chocolate.

My weight today is 219, down from 231, this loss from pre-op diet. So tired!!!! think I'll go to bed now!
