Can you please tell me how soon after surgery you started doing the treadmill sessions and how long each session is?

Thanks, DC

I was banded on friday January 7th, 2011 in a small town in Central California. I'm 41-years old married with a wonderful wife and two daughters, whom I love more than life itself. Yet afraid and unsure, I knew this life-band was my very last hope. My current stats to-date are putting hopeful thoughts back into my life, I'm actually starting to smile once again. Pre-op 282lbs 11 days post-op 251lbs down 30lbs.

These first 11 days have been interesting to say the least. One interesting fact that I wasn't prepared for was the continuing shoulder pain I experience after doing my daily treadmill workout. I'm aware of the pain related to the Anastasia relating to the surgery that can last a couple of days. This is different, it's painful and I really hope it's not something that hangs around for to long. Honestly, if I had to live with this pain in order to continue using the band, no question! absolutely I would!

My appetite has diminished beyond my expectations, and for that I'm grateful. I'm already introducing tiny pieces of white chicken as I feel my body really needs the nutrients. Religiously I'm consuming 3-4 large Protein drinks throughout the day. I have also started two sessions of treadmill per day, burning roughly 300-400 calories per session. I feel like nothing can stop me now! I'm ready for this life changing experience. It's time to hold on really tight.

God bless all strugglers!

I love you all!

P.S. Looking forward to loving mirrors again, soon real soon!
