5 days post-op!

Choromom · July 27, 2008

Hello, all!

Surgery was last Tuesday, and I'm doing quite well, I think. Minimal pain, except for gas and bloating. Don't want to eat as much as what is on the daily food intake list. And, almost back to the weight I was the day before surgery. My first follow-up is Wednesday.

Tomorrow I go back to work, but on an abbreviated schedule. The boss is out on vacation, so I can go in for as little as I can tolerate, with his permission. I'm not looking forward to it, because I still feel like I have too little energy. Better every day, but still tired a lot.

I've quickly learned to sip my Water and Protein Drinks :teeth_smile:. Gas pain is not fun!

Congrats on getting banded!!

And before you know it the gas pain will be gone. I hear walking around and using gas X helps.... I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't experience any pain from gas.

Hope work goes well. Take it easy.

Good luck and take care!

Yay! Congratulations! I'm glad everything went well for you. It honestly will soon become a distant memory. I know I have to think about it for a minute to remember and it's only been 6 months. The excitement of the weight loss journey way overshadows that pain for me. Good luck with work.
