I had my band fitted at 4pm on Saturday 28th September, and I think this day will go down as one of the most frightening and exciting days of my life!
I am now 5 days in and feel OK, but then I don't really know what to feel. Was lucky enough not to have too much wind pain and my scars are healing nicely. I must admit I feel hungry but finding the liquid diet alright, I am not counting calories but when I did look am consuming around 500-700 per day. I am finding sleeping a little uncomfortable as I am frightened to feel the port as I lay down. I don't have my first fill until 6th November, my band is currently empty and I have been told its a small one (what ever that means)
I have 2 young children and a Husband which I cook for, and work full time shift work (which does not help food wise)
I am and will work really hard to make this work as failure is not an option.
Some advice would be great as other than reading this site (which is amazing and there are some amazing people here) I don't know anyone who has has a band fitted.
All together since my journey stared on the 14th September I have lost 11lbs - which now makes me 15 stone 12, I would like to get down to 11 stone 7.
Thank you for reading the start of my diary, I wish you all good luck and send lots of positive vibes your way.
