Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Hi all! Well Monday was the big day and I am happy to say I am doing great. Thursday night was the absolute worst. My mom has been staying with us and she sat up and massaged my scalp all night. I've been one of the lucky ones to have muscle spasms in the tempal region and boy was it going nuts. I had a dr's appointment on Friday and he gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxant, and that made last night wonderful. I actually got a really good nights sleep. I am down to only taking Advil a couple of times a day, and the muscle relaxer in the evening before bed. When I wake up, I have alot of stiffness and it takes a little while to work through it, but it's completely manageable. I am banded shut, and starting next week my dr. will start having me take off the bands to eat. After the first few days of liquids, I was about to hit the next person who served me either Ensure or Boost. After having the surgical bands removed yesterday, I had my mom make me mashed potatos with gravy thinning it down. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It's amazing that all I can manage to eat is about 5 ounces and then I am stuffed. So far, so good. This sight has made the whole procedure soooo much easier.
