Today was a good day! Had surgery 6/6.Gas pains are subsiding. I had my daughter drive me last night to run some errands.Feel the walking round helped ease things a bit. My issue now is boredom. I took 10days off work. I need to get a hobby! TV is nothing but one food ad after another. I need to organize my house but I still cant lift. I m in AZ so getting out in the day is out of the question. It is already 110 degrees. I never want to smell or taste another protein drink.Ugh! I need to try the unflavored powder and supplement in the future.Those choco-caramel & vanilla creme premixes are awful.

I am so excited I stuck with the appproval process for insurance. I have told a few people about the surgery but mostly keeping it to myself. I am really looking forward to some small goals....taking on step at a time.People assume this is the easy way out...and from what I have read its a challenge each day.

That is no lie it is the hardest thing I have ever done I am 15 days post op and I am having the hardest time because the restriction I had is gone til my first fill still two weeks away. 4 days post op I was doing everything as instructed not as much as I should now .walking as much as possible right now try and sleep as much as possible with a heating pad on your stomach it helps a lot. Hope this helped have a good night I am off to bed tired lol ...

I heard that you cannot eat regular foods until week 6 after banding - true? That will be difficult. I was also wondering about how many days I would need to take off work. The people I talked to had this done prior to 2005 and they had to miss 4 weeks; I think it's a lot better now. I just got approved as a candidate today so I am at the beginning of the process.
