I was banded on Tuesday morning.  It's unbelievable that you are up and walking within 2 hours of your sugery.  Tuesday and Wed were to be expected with not so much pain, but a feeling of being bloated and unable to get that full deep breath without tightness.  It is 4 days out and I'm able to hit 3500 on spirometer and getting around quite well.  I still haven't been able to get a good night sleep, but I'm hoping tonight is different.  I haven't been hungry at all and need to force myself to eat.  The real problem is going to be dealing with the cravings which have not gone away.  Anytime I smell something (driving past a italian restaurant or steakhouse) I get incredible cravings.  I'll need to work on a plan for that.  Anyway, I'm doing what I have to do now on my full liquid diet--I am looking forward to mushie foods, but just focusing on getting enough proteins and recovering.  I'm down 10 pounds since my surgery weight.
