2nd day post op

Second day and back at work - wow! Get in enough protein . . it will help with your strength. Rest as you can. I'll bet you'll sleep tonight! Best wishes.

Bless you...I couldn't have been at work two days later. Rest as much as you can and get your protein in for sure!! Good luck!!!

Thank you for the nice comments. This is a difficult time for me because i was not mentally prepared for this. What kind of proteins can i have during my first week?

My Dr. told me only liquids the first week. I used Premier Protein Drink that you can buy at Costco. It has 30 grams of protein & 160 calories for a 11oz. carton. I only picked this one because it had the most protein on the list of drinks. Also on the list soft yogurt, low cal. eggnog, strained soups, V-8 juice, thin smoothies, miso, sugar free Jell-o & broth. Hope this helps & remember you can always buy Carnation Instant Breakfast at the grocery store. Good Luck & try to get some rest.

Wow I could not have went to work two days later! I had just gotten out of the hospital! I had my band about 12 days ago and I'm just really starting to feel better! (had a set back with the stupid gas bubble but all is well now!) Good luck with your recovery!

Today is the 5th day after being banded and I am feeling very very weak. I am hating chicken broth!!!
