Hi everyone .... I was banded on wednesday at Ashfield and came home home

yesterday

(thursday). I am a little sore around the cuts area and find it easier to stand

than sit.

I have a lot of lower abdomen pain which I think is the gas and I find standing

and walking

slowly eases that.

The biggest thing I am trying to get my head around is the amount of fluids I

have to take in

a day ... normally I don't have a problem with 1.6 litres of water + optifast

but with the

sipping of everything @ 50ml per half hour .... how do I fit it all in?

I am not having any problems with sipping fluids and they seem to be going down

and

staying down OK. Should I be watching for anything at this stage?

I will keep you all updated with my progress.

Good

Luck , It all sound fairly normal right now even the “how am I going

to fit it all in”

You’ll be able too, don’t

worry. It all falls in to place over the next day or so.

Congrats on your banding . the only advice I have is just sip

away - don't put too much stock in not reaching 2 litres, just keep

it constant and rest, rest, rest. It takes awhile to get over the op

and in a week you will be feeling great, sick of fluids and looking

forward to food with substance - LOL!!!

Take care
