Day 1 of being banded....

So a little over 24 hours ago I underwent surgery for lap band. I must admit that I was very nervous. Now that the surgery is over I know there was no need to be nervous. It was a breeze. I have had a csection and that was horrible. Lap band is not even comparable. When I woke up from the anesthesia I couldn't believe it was over. I felt like I had just done 500 ab lifts but besides that all was well.

Today has been good. I am sleeping on the couch while I recover because it is downstairs and closer the my butt than my bed. LOL

I have a little pain today and some gas pain in my shoulders but nothing that is not tolerable. I will be taking it easy until Tuesday and them go back to work on Wednesday.

Diet: I am on a clear liquid diet until tomorrow and them I can have full liquids. I have had tea, Atkins protein shakes, water, and broth for the last 36 hours. I am surprisingly not hungry at all.

Weird things: I can hear the liquids gurgling in my stomach. That is supposed to go away in a few days.
I am going to post my beginning pics and measurement's on this post. After today I will only do measurements, pics and weigh in on Wednesday.
