Post Lap Band Procedure

(Day after surgery) I chose the Realize Band as my lap band as it has a lower fill port profile (ever hopeful I am about weight loss results). Post surgery twinges last night and regular bouts of gas. Actually weighed more after surgery last night probably due to the gas from surgery (inflate the abdominal area) and the fluids I was drinking all day. Today I am back to pre-surgery check-in weight. All the exercise I have been doing the last 3-months seems to be paying off in minimal pain today. I give credit to my personal trainer (Health Happenings with Meghan Manning) who had me doing mucho abdominal work as well as all over strength training. The pre-op diet also helped the recovery process by making it easier for my surgeon. Having a spot of tea with milk this morning along with a protein drink (don’t want to lose muscle mass so drinking protein is good). I have only taken a couple doses of children’s liquid ibuprofen (cherry flavor but tastes like cherry-coconut, yummy).
