Post-op day 1

Just had some morphine, fair warning! Its the first official day with my band. Waiting to see the doctor. Everything went well. I walked three times yesterday and once today. The nurses have been wonderful. The dr did fix my hiatal hernia as well so hopefully no more reflux. The worst pain is the gas in my left shoulder. So whenever it goes I should feel better. But all in all i am good. I have been sipping water and had two ounces of protein shake this am. Not bad at all. I was down another pound yesterday morning so i officially lost eight pounds preop! Not too shabby! Well, i promise to post more when i get home. Thanks again for all the support and well wishes. You guys are awesome!!!
