The fact that you haven't connected with your co-workers probably has more to do with your feelings then the pain I am guessing. I was banded the 5th and was pretty ikky for 6 days then was good. Had a couple days not much enery but then I didn't follow the diet sheets. I guess I would suggest that you try going in but don't go to full-time until you are ready. As you are making a "Life-Style" change why not apply the additional effort to relationships as well. I don't mean make your co-workers your best friends, but make more of an effort than you have done and obviously more than they have done. Set the example and see if it snowballs. Good Luck.:thumbup:

Greetings, I was banded 8-5. I am struggling with this website and how it works - apparently this too will be part of my "New Life" and how to manage being able to talk with others who understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Am brand new to this web site and dont know how all this works. I was banded 8-5. Physically I am feeling okay now that the horrible gas pains have passed but am still an emotional train wreck. I have yet to get a "full feeling" after eating. I was told once that if you over eat with the band you will vomit because you can't stretch your pouch. Is this correct? If someone would be so kind as to give me guidance with the website and share their eating experiences I would be very greatful. Thanks again.
