I'm not concerned about the soreness or being tired when I go back to work. I think I could have done that the 2nd day - it's the mental food issue I deal with. It is contantly on my mind!

Here Here. The head hunger is bad. I have just decided that I don't like food anymore. I wake up in the morning felling like a million bucks. As soon as I start putting liguids in my mouth, I feel like crap....... MY body is hating anything in it right now.....

I was banded on the 20th of June, and I could physically return to work. But I have opted to stay off until July 3rd because I'm still bloated and tender and wearing a bra is very hard. I feel squished together in one and then I have this shelf sitting on my chest while I'm wearing a bra. So I'm taking the extra week off to heal that area and not feel as badly wearing that dang bra all week long. :omg:

On the day following surgery I was able to work half-day, and worked full days after that. I have an office job.

I left the hospital the morning after surgery and went straight to the office for 3 hours. I have been back to work full time after 4 days.

hi i am a chiropractor and post surgery fill doctor in boise idaho. i had the surgery on a friday and was back at work on Monday. I was moving a little slow but i could do it. I might have been harder as i had a vasectomy at the same time. i think i was mostly sore from that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
