Going Back To Work One Week After Lapband



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone again. I have been on vacation for one week to heal from lapband surgery. I will go back to work Mon. I am a store manager and the truck we are getting is 900 pieces. For once I will not be helping to unload the truck. It will be hard not to be in the middle of it but I can do it. I am still on liquids and have graduated to pureed Soup. I take out the noodles and potatoes as my surgen said to stay away from them. I feel better. Has anyone tried any soup that is tasty and full of good Vitamins? I might try and make my own because that is what I will be eating more of this coming week along with the Protein Drinks. Still having a hard time getting all my liquids down. Thanks again for all the great info.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at my instant Protein and it does not have what I need. I hope this week my doctor OKs me for scrabbled eggs and cottage cheese.< /p>

I take any of the cream or pre made Soup, put 1/2 cup in my Magic Bullet with lots of spinach and blend it all together. Spinach is loaded with good Vitamins.< /p>

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
