I waited a week before going back on the desk then a month after that before I went back on the street. My Doctor would not release me back to full duty until 5 weeks because he was worried about me getting into a altercation and my port getting hit. After 5 weeks I was a little sore but not bad and returned to work with no trouble.

I eat no more then 10 grams of whole carbs (not net) a day sometimes less. I get my protein in the things that I eat (per my Doctor) and I go to the gym daily.

I was just wondering what would happen if you do not get enough protein? I try to get my 60 grams a day but sometimes it is hard to do so. Just let me know!

I read that a lot of people hit a spot where they are not loosing weight. There is a lot of things that play factor in not loosing weight. I was banded on 8/28/2009 and have lost 17 pounds since then. I was on a liquid and soft food diet for two weeks and am just now allowed to eat fish, chicken, and turkey. I would like to share my diet and how I lost 50 pounds pre op. I know that it is not easy to loose weight at all! I follow a very strict 10 carb a day diet (Whole Carb). I do not eat bread, Pasta, rice, and I am very selective on what I eat in the day. I started out at 447 pounds and it was not easy to loose the pre op weight. I drink diet tea, Water, and go to the gym walking 1 mile a day and other workouts. I drink 50 - 70 grams of Protein a day as well. It is all in the diet with this tool that we have. I hope no one takes this as I am a little person and being a smart butt because I am not. If you do not follow a strict diet you are not going to loose weight. The reason that I truly believe this is because I have a friend that had this done, loosing a lot of weight. He stopped doing what he was to be doing and gained a lot back, even with the Lapband. I told myself that this would not happen to me.

Louisiana is great, best state in the union! It is going away more and more every day!

Thanks, I was just making sure that someone else had this trouble!

I am 10 days post op and I am having bad pains in my left, should/neck area. It started yesterday and I have taken Gas-x strips. Does this go away when I am able to eat solids? I have been on mushes for a few days and my stomach hurts from gas and when I eat, well it does not last long lol. Please let me know! Thanks!
