I think I am going to start monday and just do the treadmill and see how it goes... I will check back in with you all about this then!

Hi everyone! so I had my 1st post op appt on weds and was cleared to do excercise... I am moving to the mushy stage on saturday. So for those of you who are fairly recently post op and have been cleared for excercise - what are you doing? what do you plan on doing???? I want to start it out right!!! any tips/ideas would be helpful! Thanks!:Banane43:

MrsHumphrey's I didnt read the whole thread and have just been lurking around on the boards... but I wanted to say that I to have been feeling kinda how you just described. I am almost 2 weeks post op... I was a bit gaseous earlier but its getting better. I have been kinda tasting here and there... but being very very very cautious.. I mean its a nibble here and there... I had my post op appt yesterday and my doc was very happy with where i am at... Dont worry!!! Everyone is different and we all handle things different. I wish you the best on your journey!!

Sorry you had that feeling! Yeah my doc said that cottage cheese was next up on mushy.. Ill be doing that on starting saturday

Congrat!!! Its such a cool feeling! I had my moment yesterday! I was able to walk a longer distance with a slight incline... and not be out of breath!! It was great!

tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and i have no restriction. I am getting "kinda" hungry... But I think its because that was my old habit.. when i wasnt busy I was eating- ya know. Hang in there!

YAYAY!! COngrats!! Please let us know how it goes!! I was banded on the 12th and will have my 1st appt on or about the 24th!

I had surgery 1.12.11 and will be hoping to return on Tuesday. I too have a desk job - but am not always sedentary... so lets see. Its a busy time of the year for me - so i dont really have the luxury of being out much longer.. Hoping I will be ok! Lets see

i bought a liquid Vitamin at the vitamin shop_ not any better... Currently I am doing kids chewable vitamins.. my doc said it was fine... then in a few months I will switch to Centrum chewables.. try that?

Thanks everyone!! Your 100% correct on the walking for the gas! I have been going out when I can and walking around my apartment. Looking for reasons to move and not sit! It does help. The gas-x is working a bit to.. I will try the heating pad and maybe the bean-o. Thanks all! I am taking pics every 2-3 days and keeping my journal. My husband bought be me this beautiful leather journal - so I have been writing in that. Your all so right this is as an amazing feeling!!! The pain, the emotion everything!!! I am so blessed to have a great support family here and in my everyday life. It makes such a difference! I look forward to being on more frequently here as I said before and will share pics soon.

Hi Bandsters! Just wanted to say I am banded! 1.12.2011 was my big day!!! I am doing pretty well all considering and resting. I hope to post some pictures and become more active on the boards!! I think my biggest challenge is the gas right now!!! any remedies or suggestions?? Is this going to pass sooner rather than later!?? All info appreciated! Thanks!

So I am a total lurker on the boards and am so excited and nervous!!! I have been in a holding pattern and my doctor called me on Thursday... asked if the 1st and 2nd week in January I was available for surgery!!!:bananapartyhat: Soooo lets hope they call me Monday!!!! I have so much to do at work and need to plan!!! But all in all I am so excited and nervous and anxious and all this stuff!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!! Good Luck!!
