Well, I am almost 2 weeks post op.  I've lost a total of 23 lbs.  My husband, Clint, had his surgery on Thursday, 4/2.  He recovered so much quicker than I did.  I've determined that a lot of my discomfort was due to the hiatal hernia repair that they did at the same time as my band. 
I guess I can't complain about my hernia or my band.  I feel great.  It's hard to take it easy now because I feel so good.  I wish my clear liquid diet wasn't so strict too.  I am ready to start learning our new eating habits and it's hard with just liquids.  I know...all in time.   I'll try to be patient.

Well, my surgery was Tuesday.  I am feeling better than I expected.  I slept on the couch for the first few nights because it was easier to get up and down.  Last night, 5 nights post-op, I finally slept in bed and managed to sleep comfortably on my side for a while.  It was great.
Clint's surgery is Thursday.  I can't wait until we are both recovering and on our way to healthy!!

I have my 1-week post-op appointment on Tuesday morning.  I am very much looking forward to getting protein shakes back.  This clear liquid diet is getting old.
