6 days post-op and life us awesome!!!
Had my lap band operation on Tuesday..I have lost 10 lbs in six days. Including my 9 day pre-op liquid diet I have lost .....30 lbs!! In 15 days!! Today I went to the gym for the first time in months...and did 30 minutes on the recumbant stationary bike. Slow and steady...felt great and confidant! Tomorrow...I am going to the gym again...and do some walking. I am able to drink substatial amounts of liquids...life is great!
I had an amazing surgeon..and amazing husband who forced me to walk every hour! Get gas-x strips..for the aweful gas pain...a pillow to put over your stomach for the ride home...take your pain meds at night to get good rest...and SIP your liquids at room temp for the first couple of days. Cold stuff...hurt my tummy first day after. You'll do great! So excited for you. Stay possitive first 3 days are no fun....but everyday it gets better.
