FIREFIGHTPRINCESS

I am going on vacation to Las Vegas next month. I was wondering if anyone knew of any friendly resturants that are a must to visit. Thanks

I had to take 3 weeks off. My work wouldn't let me go on light duty. I had to come back with NO restrictions. Plus my surgeon is one of the trauma surgeons in the Emergancy Room that I work, so he knows what kinda of work I do and how crazy it gets. He didnt want be "hurting" myself. I was so ready to go back after a week. I think that they hubby and the dogs got too used to me being home, but I was sooooo ready to get back.

I work as an EMT in a very busy Emergancy Room. I had to take three weeks off beacuse my work wouldn't let me come back with any restrictions. I was wanting to go back after 2 weeks, but my doc wanted me to only lift no more than 10lbs for 4 weeks. I was board and wanted to go back sooner so the doc gave in at three weeks. I promised to be a "good girl" and take it easy.....but I was fighting and wrestling with the drunks at week three!!!hehehehe:tongue2:

I tried to do the decaf thing...ugg. I couldn't find a brand that I liked. I talked to my dietitian and she said that one 8oz cup of "real" coffee would be okay....I am so happy. Now I have two cups of half decaf and half real coffee with light soy milk (the chocolate it the best). Helps me out at work since i work nights.

It has been cold and snowing here also. Ive been sitting around the house and eating from boredom. So taking my docs advice I went the mall today for someplace to walk for exercise. Well I don't know whats worse sitting around and not burning any calories or walking the mall burning calories and spending way too much on new shoes.

:wub:Love love love my MBT shoes. Try the Walking Company. :wub:I love love love Zappos.com also. Free shipping(over night) and free return if they don't fit.

Water, walking and gas-x:thumbup:

I too was banded on the 25th!!! So far so god for me. I hate being bloated. I found that walking, walking and sitting have helped me out. Ive had a hard time sleeping. I tend to sleep on my tummy. My port site is still so sore and brused, i hate it. I am just so glad that my doc told me I can start on reg food next week.....I am so tired of protien shakes!!!

I get my band Jan 25th. Still not 100% sure how im feelling...excited, nervous or is it just the withdwals for coffee? Im ready to get it done and over with so I can move on to better things! I have to admit I did cheat on my pre-op diet tonight with some cheese and crackers. But a girl gets hungry after running aound for 12 hours taking care of patients. It was better than the McD's eveyone else had. Good luck everyone and hope to see how well we all do!

Dr Nagy is going to band me on 1/25/10. One of the best doctors around town. Would recomend him to anyone.
