Great to read all of your stories and concerns thus far! I am being banded on the 27th- I was supposed to be banded tomorrow but life got in the way. I was wondering for those of you who have gotten the surgery- how soon did you go back to work? Did it match what your doctors said?

Hope everyone is good,

Well I start my 2 week liquid Protein on Friday, bad thing is we are leaving on a trip for the week end, hard to pack all the extra on the bike. I hope I can tolerate them, I took SF koolaid and puddings to mix in. But I do want to try to mix with SF orange soda as my DR suggested.

Hard to think its only two weeks a way after so long ..........

Martha:rolleyes:

Good question Monkeymama,

I am getting banded on April 23rd. So far I've only asked for the surgery day (Friday) and the Monday. I can make my job sedentary if needed. My biggest concern is nausea. Did you get some good replies?

BTW- Good luck with your surgery! I'm predicting that April 2010 Bandsters will enjoy the BEST results ever!

Keep us posted!

I have a desk job. I was banded on Wednesday and went back to work on Monday with no real problem - just a bit fatigued. I has some gas in my stomach and took Gas-X stips to keep that down. I had limited referred pain in my shoulder. I only used pain med the first day and a half. They made me fuzzy headed so I switched to Tylenol. I had no nausea or vomiting. I focused on my Water and Protein drinks and sipped, sipped, sipped.

Everyone is different but I am 57 years old and not especially healthy and I did fine.

Good luck!

Well I have made it thru the long weekend and lost 5lbs so hope I'm off to a good start. I need to ask if it's OK because I only have been drink 2 or 3 shakes a day with a side salad for dinner. I was not hungry at all. But the shakes are much better when you have a blender to mix them with ice and a little fruit.

April 30th is fast approaching:ohmy:...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
