I had surgery Nov. 6th and am back to work Wednesday the 19th. I am an elementary school secretary and can't wait to get back. My only restriction is lifting/pushing/ pulling. Will probably need a nap everyday but I'm excited about going back! I have had no complications, and I was a lap-band revision with scar tissue grown around it.

AmyC65- I agree with you totally. I don't necessarily have a weight/size in mind, just several small victories. Being able to buy a t-shirt in a normal store is top of the list. Of course, I started this journey at a 4x and am only 11 days post op. I haven't weighed myself since pre-op but I can't wait to feel better and be able to buy clothes at a normal store and not a specialty store!

Thank you guys very much. Most of my calories are still coming from my shakes, it just seems (in my head) like this can't possibly be enough.

I am 8 days post-op today and am still on the liquid diet. I have been tracking all my intake, and I am lucky to get 400 calories a day. Is this normal? If not, any suggestions? Thanks!

I am 3 days post-op and was wondering if I was ever going to get more than 3 hours continuous sleep again. How long did it take for you to get a full night?
