Well have had my band and feeling ok still a bit sleepy but have got up already. No where near as bad as gallbladder. Got a bit of wind pain on my chest and a bit short of breath but so far so good. Got some peppermint tea and will have another doze me thinks... Hope Vespa and other have got on ok xx

In west Sussex wobbly, had ropey morning on Saturday but feeling ok now. Using up a couple of Cambridge shakes during liquid phase but finding I have no appetite an getting full really quickly. Excited to get anaesthetic out of my system and get on with working with the band but trying to just take one day at a time. Off to Paralympics tomorrow so hopefully will feel up to it. Hope everyone who had their band this weekend is doing ok xx

Aww I'm glad you're ok- I'm good too thanks for the mention hun . As you probably know walking is the key for wind pain. I slept for 12 hours last night as its taken it all out of me.

Hope you enjoy the Paralympics and here's to a speedy and painless recovery xxx

Can't believe how well I feel at the mo.. not the slightest bit hungry, although I was told to go straight to sloppy food straight away I have decided to do liquids this week until this bloated feeling disappears. So mainly been having my baby's small yoghurts mixed with milk and some of my left over cambridge shakes and homemade soups. Really can't get a lot down without feeling full and have hardly any appetite. ( i know in reality this will change though )... I have sneaky look at scales this morning and lost 11lbs since the op last friday!! Thrilled and 1 lb away from the 16's (first time in I dont know how long) Taking the scales all with pinch of salt though as not taking in many calories yet.
I still have moments about how final a decision this is but it is only food I am restricting not the air I breathe and I can live without the stuff I am choosing to cut out of my life. Loving that I will never have to do a fad liquid shake diet again!!!!!! that has to alone be worth having a band xx
