Lapband Post-Op - Day 2 Community Health Network Bariatric Services

Today is better. I am able to get some stuff down. I am nowhere close to where I should be, but slow steady progress is what I am after. I don’t want Lori to take fluid out of the band because I don’t want to be hungry in one week. Today I got in a total of 25 ounces which included some protein. Still some moderate discomfort. It is like a pressure in your chest and you feel like you have a terrible gas bubble that you can’t get up. I almost asked my mom to revert back 47 years and burp me.

I am exhausted! I may have overdone today, but I have to get moving so I can get back to work by Wednesday. Here is my schedule: get up and shower. Move to the couch. Eat 1 ounce of something. Go to treadmill for 5-7 minutes. Back to couch. Consider a nap. Try to drink some water or part of a protein supplement. Give my mom direction on something she is doing for me. Start the whole process over minus the shower for lunch. Well, I will just keep plugging along.
