The week after.

Most people take a week off after surgery. I went back to work Thursday afternoon (2 days after surgery.) I work with teens and I really needed to be at the meeting that night. I worked about 5 hours that day, and a few hours on Friday, and another 2 hours on Saturday.

I think it was a bit much, and I probably wouldn't recommend it, but it also wasn't awful.

I started a new job yesterday, and I felt fine... it's been hard explaining my strange eating habits though!

It's now 1 week post-banding. I'm down 10.5 pounds (and totally on my period, ugh.) I'm not hungry, but I'm wanting to eat, it's not worth destroying my investment though, so I wait.

A few of my tapes fell off, and my scabs are a lot smaller than I thought they'd be.

My friends keep asking how I'm feeling and honestly? I feel great!
