March Bandsters!

[judych 225]

OK day was 10 day post op for me and the 1st day back at work. It went really well prepared my Protein Shakes the night b4 and everything was good but mid-way through the day my larger incision started to become painful and a burning sensation. I just figured I was doing to much so I tried to take it easy after that but is this normal has any1 else had this problem???

is your job a desk job? if it is, maybe its the sitting position for long periods that sets it off?? ive noticed when travelling a long way that i get the same thing. even if there is no direct pressure on my wounds.

Went for my post op visit today and every thing is going very well. Although the doctors scale is 4lbs more than mine... uughhh any who.. I was able to start foods today YYAAAYYY. So I have had 2 ounces tuna salad, and 3 orange slices for lunch, and 2 ounces of talpia and 1 once of cabbage. So far things are good. And I am happy that I can actually chew something. I get my first fill April 5th so another milestone to look forward to. Back to work tomorrow for me uugghh. But only one day then the weekend. March bansters we are moving along....

I was banded on 03/06/2012, went for my post op two weeks ago and have my first fill on 04/04/12. I still don't eat much, but I do eat right. I am down 33lbs total and can't wait to see what my fill is going to do.

I felt the same way after going back to work. I have a desk job and the position I was sitting in would cause my incisions to be extra sensitive. Walking every so often seemed to help me.

Haven't had an appetite since I got banded on the 29. I guess that's good considering I lost 10 xtra lbs

So hopefully I can keep it up

Has anyone tried Protein Shots from gmc stores or Walmart

Have not tried Protein Shots but did try the Unjury Protein and WOW they are very good. Have been using Gold Standard and thought they were best but Unjury has my complete vote now.

I tried Walmart's Protein shot this morning (grape) and it wasn't too bad. I kinda chugged half, waited another minute or two then downed the rest...

Ok, the past two mornings, I have gotten up feeling stuffed! I have felt like if I eat anything/drink anything I would puke. I feel this way until 9-10am but force myself to sip Water. Tonight is the first time in the evening that I have felt this way.. Today's meals:

6:00am Protein shot

10:30 10 almonds

11:30 Morningstar veggie burger with cheese, pickles

3:30 5 almonds

Post op Day 11!!! Went for my post op appt yesterday. Total loss has been 23 lbs (with pre-op diet)!!! Very happy about that. Also returned to work yesterday. Hasn't been too bad except for really really bad back pain! =\ Scheduled my first fill for March 23. Kinda anxious about that but I know it can only help.

Did you mean April 23 for your first fill? If so, that's my date too I also get to get an Xray to make sure the band is positioned right, see the dietician, and see the physical therapist. Woo hoo
