I was banded last Friday, Nov. 5. Today is my first day back at work. So far, so good. I would have stayed home longer but my computer went on the fritz and I couldn't log on to this site, LOL!!! I didn't have any choice but to come back to work! Missed you guys! :)

Wow, that was fast! As long as you don't get too tired, if you see you are, make it a short day. What do you do? I found myself getting tired after a half day, and I cut it short for a while. I am addicted to this board too, I am always up here and getting caught by the boss. I wish it was on my computer in my office.

You two are TOO funny! Your job should be grateful that LBT motivated you to get back to work sooner! What dedication! (NOT)

Sorry, Blossom, it will only get worse as time goes on. Pretty soon, your skinny DH will be threatening to get a band and a computer just so you'll talk to him.:cry

Hi, WillPower! Yeah, things really are getting back to normal for me. Nearly all of my soreness is gone, I can even sneeze with no pain! Today, I am wearing pants that I truly thought I would not get to wear again. However, my appetite is returning with a vengence. I am still on softs, but I can eat a lot. I am hoping when I add some solids I won't be able to eat so much. Other than that, I feel great!!!

I'm glad you're feeling so well. Please do not worry about how much you are eating. Until you get a fill, you might get hungry, you might be able to eat just as much as before, and you might even gain weight. Don't sweat it. I know you know that already, but it bears repeating because it is so easy to get impatient in those early weeks.

Nancy

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
