    Day 6 - Feeling better and better each day that passes... Still on liquids (2 optifast shakes) + 10gs of Hommus (my new best friend) + a litre of water + 1 frozen ice block per day but dietian has advised that tomorrow i am able to progress to runny mush... so im extremly excited and nervous :whistle3:
    Still not feeling hungry and having to remind myself to eat (drink) although cant say i haven't had any cravings... and couldnt tell you what i would
    do to someone to get half a cheese sandwich -and its strange seeing ive never really been a cheese lover!
    Cooking for the kids hasn't been as bad as i thought it would be... although a little concerned that i may actually fatten them up a little too much...they think
    its great having fresh tripple choc muffins baked daily.. and unlimited snacks. (Won't last forever kids)
    Gas pain has completely gone since yesterday...although still burping after everything i drink... not very lady like but the kids think its great watching
    mum burb My incisions are becoming a little itchy so im guessing that are healing too.
    Had a small scare tonight after having a small amount of no fat custard - totally forgot slow slow slow and while watching Bold and Beautiful today and i got a bit over excited and before i knew it i was done... felt a very weird sensation and thought i saw going to be sick... but after telling myself "please don't" and doing a few laps of the house the feeling passed (Thanks God)
    Pretty happy with the weightloss to date 7.3kg =16 pounds would never have been able to do that prior to being banded.. even if i was to starve myself.
    Its now 10.45pm and time for me to head to bed so until next time.[/size]

    Feeling Better...

    By Roro,

    Day 3 - I have to say im feeling so much better than i felt yesterday... NO Nausea NO pain and very little gas .
    Although i do have to say i spent most of last night reading about MUSHIE FOOD stage.. and it may sound extremely strange but i cant wait to eat
    any type of real food even if it has to be blended... my teeth actually hurt yesterday from not chewing anything for the last 10 days so in 10 more days
    im really wondering what will happen!
    Today was a pretty normal day on a liquid diet - or so what i think is normal should i say.
    * 8am 150mls of Water and my daily vitamin
    * 10am a small diet vanialla yoghurt
    * 2pm a Coffee Optislim shake
    * 4pm a Coffee - which i couldn't drink all of -- anyone who knows me well will know that is not me at ALL I am a HUGE Coffee Fan!
    * 8pm a Chocolate Optifast shake
    And so far have managed to drink around 1 litre thru-out.
    Since having the operation i have noticed that im always full... wondering if that will last... in what ive read so far its not... so im going to enjoy it while i can The only thing ive noticed today is that after everything i have drunk-sipped very soon after i have had that gas pain in my left shoulder.
    I feel there is so much to learn about my new band, I have read alot of great information and tips from alot of you.. and its really helping me alot.
    Will keep you updated xox

    Day 2 - post op

    By Roro,

    This my very first blog ever... so it may not be the most perfect, but i feel it important for myself to remember my highs and lows during this experience and aswell share it with anyone who wants to read it
    My name is Rhonda and i live in Sydney Australia and im 35, i have a great supportive husband and 3 beautiful children aged 11, 8 and 6. They are truely my inspiration to a long healthy life. I have been over weight since my first daughter was born almost 12 years ago...and with each other pregnancy i kept putting
    on weight. I have tried almost every fad diet that ever hit the shelf... ending up losing weight but never able to maintain it. In Dec 05 i was admitted into hospital and had to have my Gall Bladder removed that is when i met my Dr who after my op asked me if i had ever considered weight loss surgery.
    Since then, almost 3 years ago i have now finnally decided to go ahead with LAP BAND SURGERY!
    I was banded on the 22nd of July 2008 in a private Sydney hospital at around 8.00am... and i was taken back to my room at approx 10.30am. Most of that day is a blur because i was still having the effects of the anesthesia. I have 4 small incisions plus one a little larger for where im told the port has been placed.. they are all a little sensitive, but not that painful. I have very slight bruising on the port incision only.
    Day 1 - today i was sent home... stocked with peppermint water, heat packs and a heavy towel which i held across my stomach for support. It worked for me!!
    Day 2 - of living with a lap band (im now officially a bandit).. and i have to say i'm not feeling that great right now..although i am going to try and stay super positive. Since having the lap band i have had this feeling of fullness and excess saliva in my mouth- if i could describe it i would say it was very simular feeling of morning sickness. :lb12: Not something that i expected.. im not sure if i would prefer to be feeling hungry or like this. I guess in the days to come i will tell you!! lol
    I am moving a little slower and trying to rest as much as possible but have to say im feeling a little down about the whole thing. I really hope tomorrow is a better day... i think my husband is thinking that too... ive been a bit teary and emotional and im sure a little too demanding even though he says its okay..
