Well, here I am finally feeling ok enough to post another blog. I was banded on Tues, it's now Fri.  It was harder than I thought.  I'm still dealing with quite a bit of gas pain.  It's hard to get enough liquid and protein since I feel full/nauseated.  Each day I've been a little better.  I sure hope I'm feeling well enough to get back to work on the 20th.  I've been trying to walk and at least I can now sleep on my side (helps with the gas).  I sure wish I could burp, it starts to come up, then pain, then it goes back down.  Frustrating.  I'm still pretty sleepy most of the time, I'm sure it's related to the lack of nutrition.  I've been weening myself off the pain medication. I'm trying to only use the liquid Tylenol (over the counter) instead of prescription.  Yes, I had many thoughts in the past few days of "why did I do this?".  I may have lost about 6 pounds since surgery, but I'm not really counting any of it yet until this bloating goes away and I can get in all my protein. 

Well, this is my first blog ever!! Tomorrow is my surgery and I'm just biding time until I have to go to bed.  I guess now I'll do just about anything to avoid thinking about food.  Clear liquid sugar free diet today has been pretty tough.  I'm quite tired today, but I know it will all be for the better.  I'm still very proud of myself that I was able to lose over 60 pounds in 6 months before surgery.
