Today is my first day back at work. I am 12 days out of surgery and I feel good. Had my vitamins and my protein shake. No one here at work know that I got banded so I have been getting a few looks on what I ate for breakfast and some have told me I look thinner. And of course some are talking behind my back lol! Only thing I am dealing with today is that I am still feeling tired and my stomach is rumbling a lot!

Totally normal. I was a little tired the first few days back at work. Good luck!

I went back after 8 and boy howdy was I tired when I got home those first couple days..but each day that passes, it gets easier. promise.....congrats on the surgery

I'm choosing not to tell anyone at work either. I had already been dropping g hints like "think I might try Atkins diet" that way when I'm drinking protein shakes it won't look so funny

Yea, well I told them prior to surgery that I was trying to eat healthier and started the shakes 2 weeks prior so I kinda did the same thing. Only one girl at work knows I did it and that's because she got the sleeve a year ago. So she can sort of relate to me.

I told no one at work...the good thing about the band is that the progress is not all-of-a-sudden, so my coworkers just assume I'm workin out and eating less (which is the truth!)
