Finally home!

[Mio]

Got home yesterday evening after having to stay in overnight on Tuesday, which I wasn't expecting. Went down to the theatre a little later than planned, and my op took longer than expected, so they wanted to make sure everything was ok.
Was my first stay in hospital, and didn't have anything packed as had been told I'd be in and out the same day, but the nurse's were really lovely and helpful. Was up and going to the loo as soon as I got to the ward and was drinking tea by the evening *lol*

Yesterday (the day after my op) I polished off three cups of tea, 2 jugs of water and a mug of Bovril XD Don't think keeping hydrated will be a problem with me!

Currently feel like I've been hit by a truck, but other than that I'm feeling pretty chipper and looking forward to getting my strength back and learning about my my new body

This could be due to the air that they inflate your tummy with when they carry out Laparoscopic procedures. Glad that you are home and look forward to hearing about your success along the way. X

Well, almost a week since my op and I feel amazing

Most of the pain has gone, the only thing left is "healing" pain from my surgery site. Shoulder/gas pain has gone (mix of Windeze, lots of stretching and bending and a shoulder rub from mum *lol*) and the only thing I'm on now is ibuprofen!

Had the most amazing sleep last night, probably about 10 hours or so, and had my first proper shower this morning which felt fantastic.

I weighed myself this morning and I've lost half a stone in a week which is amazing

Your weight loss is great. Bet you feel all the pain has been worth it!!

Never mind the burping. Just wait till you start the hiccupping. Its soooo embarrassing. If I am filling up or have eaten too quickly it just starts and then keeps going for ages Better that signal than the signals we used to get 'pre'band' but tended to ignore when we used to eat too much tho x :break_diet:

Absolutely brilliant loss Mio. I'm really chuffed for you

BTW, I have become a champion burper since I've had my band fitted !!! It has become one of life's pleasures! haha. and they seem to go on and on and on. Its such a satisfying feeling. ( so embarassed to admit this but its true!)

Haha - I know what you mean! Sometimes I manage to expel air from both ends at once if I'm stretching, and the first time I did it I scared the dog so much she ran from the room XD
