So sorry to hear that! Stress will take it's toll on the body! I can vouge for that! Good Luck on the job search! I'm sure you won't have an issue in the medical field.

Yeah! Let me know how it goes!!! Mine is in 4 weeks.......

I hope its true because my left side is hurting (sore). Every time I take a deep breath. I hate to call the doctor, I just seen him yesterday. He said, where I pointed to was where my stomach was located. Maybe I pulled a muscle? Thanks for the info. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!!

I sent you a private message. How you feeling?

So exciting!! I'm so happy for you!!! Sending well wishes & prayers, your way!!!

Way to go! That is awesome, 15lbs!! Enjoy your 2 weeks. That is so nice to be off that long. Glad your getting your energy back!

Love reading all your posts healthydnp! How are you feeling?

Has anyone 'cheated' with the food? What I mean is, I had 'egg salad' today. However; suppose to start this Thursday, with eating scrambled eggs. Hope I didn't hurt anything. Also, I found myself licking potato chips for the flavoring. I must have a food addiction. 2 weeks on fluids has me going crazy thinking about food.

I'm finally feeling human again ; ) How are you doing?

Yeah! A day before, I was banded ; ) Yes, time had flown by! How are you feeling? You are not too far. I actually live across the river in Illinois. Not that far.

I can honestly say, day by day, I feel better. I'm at 12 days Post Op & finally feeling good. I actually got dressed up & put make up on today. I had a terrible day this past Saturday. Advice for everyone. Take it day by day. This is a major change in our lives. I have my first post op visit, tomorrow. I'm curious, about how much weight I have lost the past 2 weeks. I know, life can only get EASIER ; ) I'm going back to work this Wednesday. Looking forward to my usual routine. Thank You, to ALL my bandster buddies. I love reading all you posts. Anyone from the St. Louis area? Just throwing this out there again. Take Care!

I feel the same. I'm on 10 days Post Op & still don't feel up to par. One incision is very sore. I don't know if that is the stitches healing or if I pulled something? I know, I'm not drinking enough & not getting all my protein in. I'm so over the liquids also. I had a meltdown today, (while my family was having McDONALD'S), & I had my pureed soup. I just wanted a drink of Coke so bad & a bite of a McChicken. I just walked away. I'm very weak too. Also, the temperature where I live is very hot. So walking is out of the question for now. Even when I walk, I get weak very fast. I just know, things will get better in time for both of us. Hang in there!

All those questions you have asked yourself, I personally have asked myself too. There is a part of me that wonders how I will react with positive attention. I have also become accustomed to being overweight. However; I'm now ready to get rid of the 'extra baggage' per say...... I'm ready to enjoy things that I have missed out on in the last ten years.....I'm ready to get my 'old self' back. Good luck, on your new journey! Sending well wishes your way!!

Bananas are listed on my post op acceptable foods for week 3 &4.
