Well, I had my surgery on MOnday, today is Friday, I am starting to feel better, as I has to get the lap band out also I have 2 good size incisions and three small ones. I think the inside , actual stomach is what hurts the most. I have been drinking my protein shakes and my liquid protein I purchased from Bariatric Advantage. No problem getting that in. If I take too big a sip I feel over full but really no problems. I just hope when I start on soft foods I do feel full eating just a little bit. I have been taking the pain meds regularly and that really helps. Gas seems to be my biggest problem. I am taking a little prune juice everyday to help with bowel movements. I came home weighing 221, wow more than when I went in to the hospital at 213. I think this was probably due to the IV fluids and all the gas. Today I am at 209. My husband has been awesome. He has a whole schedule mapped out to make sure I get all the proper liquids, vitamins, protein ect... He had our friend Karen come and sit with me on Wednesday, and had scheduled my mom to sit with me on Thursday. I am happy to be alone today and just catch up on some bills and laundry. 
I made sure to tell the anesthesiologist that I had a past of severe nausea with going under and he used several different anti nasuea meds while I was under and low and behold no nausea for me when I woke up. I would encourage anyone to advise there Dr. of the same . More later, got to get some rest now.

It's SUnday night, my surgery is tommorrow. I am really scared!!!!! I know it's going to hurt as I already went through with the Lap Band 3 years ago. I sure hope this works.. I am hoping to get some sort of relaxing meds before surgery. I will post again as soon as I am able.
