Hi every one just introducing myself. I hope im on the right thread. I got banded on 09/04/08 and so far has lost at least 12 pounds. I feel better since surgery but still have pain at my port area. I am still on medical leave from work because my doc does not want me to lift over 10 pounds yet. I feel like a wimp hearing every one saying they have mostly no pain after surgery and was able to return to work a day or two after. My job require me to lift up to 50lbs and Im not able to right now. Is the one's who went back to work in a day or two, work in an office or have light job requirements? :rolleyes2:

Hi, I got my band on Sept, 4th, and I am at the second stage of post op. My doc has me on soft foods like soft fruits and veggies and creamy soups. I see you mention that your doc told you too eat fish after a two day liquid diet, I thought we couldn't eat meats yet untill the 4th week? I have heard so many different post op diet requirements, I guess it depends on the doc. I have been craving for fish which is my favorite and I cooked fish last night for my family but was scared to eat a piece. Is fish safe to digest and eat in my 3rd week banded?
