two days post ops
Oct 28, 2010
Well, I've had my band in place for 2 days now. For the most part I feel fine. I've had several low blood sugars in the last 24 hrs. Trying to blend the instructions from my surgeon's office and my internist. One says no insulin unless b/s go over 250, but the internist says to give myself half my dosage twice a day. I'm not putting enough in my system to go as high as half...tried that and almost passed out. But 250 is too high for comfort too. Was surprised to find out I had lost weight before my surgery. I tried to keep around the 1500 calorie diet, but went over board several times, and was sure I'd messed up royally. But Dr. Allen says my liver was just fine and he had no problems lifting it. Now that just sounds weird :-)The days seem to be crawling along. I'm so afraid I'll pop something in my mouth and start chewing before I realize what I've done. Just wish I could take a pill, fall asleep for the liquid phase and wake up when I can at least eat mushy foods. Never thought I'd look forward to eating mushy foods. Everyone says I shouldn't be hungry for at least several days after surgery...but I guess I have more determined hungry genes then other people. Or it's just my mind be uncooperative.
I really hope to find a WLS buddy here on obesityhelp.com. I'd love to meet someone who had surgery the same day, and the same kind as me (lapband). It would be nice to have someone to talk to that hasn't already been through all this, and has maybe forgotten how scary and frustrating it can be starting out. My family is wonderful, but they aren't going through this...so they can only empathize so much.
