First Day Back at Work...

[SillyAuntDi 1,610]

I was banded on 9/11. I'm feeling great, really. I'm back at work today for the first day since the surgery. I'm tired, but able to work. I have a desk job, so no heavy lifting required.

I was so worried about what the days after my surgery would be like...pain, discomfort...but I feel like I came through it very well. I was off pain meds in a couple of days. I tolerated the Protein Shakes better than expected (I have a dairy allergy that started to rear its head at the end of last week, so I have switched now from whey proteins).

I was allowed to move to mushy foods this weekend. That's been interesting! Who knew blended lentil Soup would be so yummy?!?

So, all in all, I've had a very positive experience so far

Have a great day, friends!

Hey congrats i was banded 9/19 and spent half of today trying to work from home.. some what of a failure.. mostly due to a lack of discipline on my part I'm feeling pretty great was of the meds also with in two day's mostly because they actually made me very nauseous. and nothing worked for the gas pain that is still with me grrr.. don't think i'll make the 2 weeks i'm allowed to work from home will probably end up going in next week. i mostly just did not want to share this part of my transition with every one at work. i know right now it looks like i'm not eating enough to sustain a grasshopper but with shakes and puddings and Jello i feel like i have a virtual feast. REALLY looking forward to adding mushes to my diet..but that won't be till sometime next week dreams of hummus and scrambled egg's is what keeps me going.
