I was banded on Friday and am planning on returning to work tomorrow (Tuesday). I just started this job last week and dont want to take too mcuh time off. My pain is not bad and I'm getting really bored at home for three days. But I have heard that its a lot worse for other people. It can't hurt to take off more but it can hurt to go back too soon.

Thanks to everyone for your support. I fell a lot better about it today. My husband has been absolutley fabulous throughout this whole thing. I think I need to make sure I am paying more attention to what goes in to MY MOUTH than his and I will be OK.

You have all been great!:crying:

I just got banded on 3/28 and came home yesterday. I am trying to be really good drinking only the shakes and Water and broth. But my husband decided that he wanted to eat pizza and ice cream and Pasta this weekend! I knew that this was my choice and that there would be times when I would have a hard time with things I can no longer eat. I just thought he would be more sympathetic with me for a while. Do I have a right to be annoyed by this?

I just had my surgery yesterday and although I can keep the everything down, I get really bad pains after I have ANYTHING even Water. I am trying to keep hydrated but the pain is really bad sometimes. I cannot tell if it is gas or if my pouch is too full. HELP!!!!

Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions! It's nice to know that other people have gone through what I am going through and made it!! I do enjoy swimming and I used to love biking, I think I might start out with those and with some walking on the in between days. You guys are awesome!

I am getting banded on 3/28 and am dredding having to start exercising. I am very clumsy and my whole like have not found one exercise or sport that i enjoy. Anyone else gone through this?
