Things with me are holding steady. Based on previous experiences with fills, today will be a good day. I'm still on liquids and pudding and haven't experienced much hunger so far. The liquid Lexapro isn't horrible and my Lunesta (sleep aid) is TINY! I haven't even tried any other pills, yet--mostly vitamins & supplements.
In the past, the swelling has started on the 3rd day after a fill which would be tomorrow. But, I'm due to start my (.) today...still don't know how that is going to affect things.
And now for Lap-Band Owners Manual Part 2!

"Lap Band [patients] who are most successful...are those that exercise regularly"
PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
Your
weight is a result of the balance between the foods you eat and the amount of
calories you body burns in physical activity. As you lose weight after Lap Band
surgery, you may find it much easier to get around. Take advantage of this new
freedom! The more active you are, the more quickly you will lose weight.
- Walk more. Walk the dog; go for a walk with a friend, a neighbor or the children. Walk whenever you can.
- Take the bus or car less often.
- If you take public transportation, get off a few stops early
- Take the stairs instead of the elevators
- Park your car far away at shopping centers and walk through the parking lot.
- Take a "walking break" at work instead of a coffee break.
- Do some yard work, gardening, or household chores that require brisk movement.
- During foul weather, get exercise indoors at malls, schools, airports, etc.
- Look for easy and fun new ways of exercising with your new body! … make a list of fun and exciting classes you might take, such as ballroom dance or water aerobics.
- Check exercise videos out of the library and make note of some of the simpler toning exercises you could do. Plan a routine based on this.
