OK day was 10 day post op for me and the 1st day back at work. It went really well prepared my Protein Shakes the night b4 and everything was good but mid-way through the day my larger incision started to become painful and a burning sensation. I just figured I was doing to much so I tried to take it easy after that but is this normal has any1 else had this problem???

is your job a desk job? if it is, maybe its the sitting position for long periods that sets it off?? ive noticed when travelling a long way that i get the same thing. even if there is no direct pressure on my wounds.

Went for my post op visit today and every thing is going very well. Although the doctors scale is 4lbs more than mine... uughhh any who.. I was able to start foods today YYAAAYYY. So I have had 2 ounces tuna salad, and 3 orange slices for lunch, and 2 ounces of talpia and 1 once of cabbage. So far things are good. And I am happy that I can actually chew something. I get my first fill April 5th so another milestone to look forward to. Back to work tomorrow for me uugghh. But only one day then the weekend. March bansters we are moving along.... :)

I was banded on 03/06/2012, went for my post op two weeks ago and have my first fill on 04/04/12. I still don't eat much, but I do eat right. I am down 33lbs total and can't wait to see what my fill is going to do.

I felt the same way after going back to work. I have a desk job and the position I was sitting in would cause my incisions to be extra sensitive. Walking every so often seemed to help me.

So hopefully I can keep it up

Have not tried Protein Shots but did try the Unjury Protein and WOW they are very good. Have been using Gold Standard and thought they were best but Unjury has my complete vote now.

I tried Walmart's Protein shot this morning (grape) and it wasn't too bad. I kinda chugged half, waited another minute or two then downed the rest...

Ok, the past two mornings, I have gotten up feeling stuffed! I have felt like if I eat anything/drink anything I would puke. I feel this way until 9-10am but force myself to sip Water. Tonight is the first time in the evening that I have felt this way.. Today's meals:

6:00am Protein shot

10:30 10 almonds

11:30 Morningstar veggie burger with cheese, pickles

3:30 5 almonds

Did you mean April 23 for your first fill? If so, that's my date too :) I also get to get an Xray to make sure the band is positioned right, see the dietician, and see the physical therapist. Woo hoo :P

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
