I took 2 weeks because I have to take 5 days before my sick time kicks in, and I figured why the heck not take 2 weeks to get most of my liquid diet out of the way so I won't have to bring half of my kitchen in with me lol 2 more days I can't wait!!!!

My surgery is on a Wednesday 10/24. I am definitely taking off from Wednesday to Monday 10/29 ( that is my post op appointment ) . Then I will get a doctor's note and see how I feel. I am a high school teacher' date=' so I don't want to have ANY pain/discomfort whatsoever...my job is stressful enough...[/quote']

I am an elementary music teacher and was banded on 8/29 ( a Wednesday) and went back to work the following Tuesday. I think I should have waited one or two more days. The first two days back were difficult because there is a lot of movement with my job. I didn't have any additional procedures like hernia repairs. If I had, I think I definitely would have needed more time off. Whenever you go back to school, I suggest you bring a heating pad with you.

That is exactly how I feel. How are you doing on your preop first. I just bought the premiere shakes from costco they got good reviews I can't get used to the powder Protein. It is gritty no matter how I make it.

The pre-op diet has been challenging- but it is half way over- my Dr. prescribed Slim Time shakes and up to 250 cal of low GI vegetables. I don't mind the Slim Time-- i make sure to make them in the blender (leas lumpy) and pour over ice so they are good and cold-- I find the worst is my 'head hunger'. wanting to eat chocolate or other unhealthy stuff-- and i have been able to resist by asking myself 'Why am I wanting to eat right now?'. and I can usually pin it on being tired or bored- and if that doesnt work- i drink Water or tea! 5 days!!!

Tomorrow is my partner's surgery. It was supposed to be at 9am and they called and bumped her until 3pm. But she still can't eat or drink anything after midnight tonight. Good luck to Oct. 1 bandsters. I'm next week.

I like your thinking! And for my own sanity! I'm gonna wake her closer to midnight to eat some Jello and drink something then let her sleep in as long as possible tomorrow. Very nervous for her!

I'm going to stay up as late as possible tonight to be at the hospital at noon so I won't be looking at the clock either :)

I'm doing the Pure Premium ready made shakes. I tried a variety of shakes and these pretty decent and available at costco for a good price. I didn't like mixing the Protein Powder.< /p>

I am allowed up to two cups of nonstarchy veggies and two tablespoons of nonfat dressing.

      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...

      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
