I went back to work today :) Felt really good this morning til about 11. Then I started feeling tired and uncomfortable in my abdomen area. Tired to lay down during my lunch hour but after about 15 mins I was up due to feeling nauseated. Went to the bathroom but nothing came up. Thank goodness. The rest of the day was really long. Felt as if I had tons of gas in my stomach and surrounding areas. I think maybe it's from sitting upright all day. Thought I had gotten rid of most of the gas already. When I got off work went to get my son from school and by the time I got there I was feeling sick again. Went to the bathroom felt like I was gonna throw up but never did. Nausea ceased and we made it home. Went to sit in my recliner and lay back some and by about 30 seconds my son had to help me up. Felt nauseated again. Went back to the bathroom only to dry heave a time or two...still feel like crap 30 mins later and only sitting not reclining back. Hubby is on his way home with some gas x strips. Ran out Saturday nut didn't think I would need more....guess I was wrong. Hope this helps me feel better. I would have to say today has been the worst for me. Today makes day 6.

mom of 3 :)

Had my first day home. Was banded on the 27'th. Just got home from the hosp. Yesterday evening. I'm having esophageal spasms they're not that bad, they pass quickly. I can have full liquids now. Still having chest pain due to the gas, but even that has mostly subsided. So I went and ran errands today. Went & paid some bills, went to my work (dr.s office) just so they could see that I was okay. And went to the bank. Busy day! Good luck to every1 who has just had, or about to have their lapband world opened up for them.

I also felt a lot better today, than I did yesterday.

I went shopping, ran errands, and went to the bank.

On the shopping front, I am apparently losing all of my weight from my chest. Come on hips, please get smaller!

I have a lump on my left side the size of my palm. I have to go into the Dr. Today and let him check it out. I am also having to take my pain meds every 4 hours instead of six. I hope it's nothing to worry about. I will update more later.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
