I returned to work on Monday and I feel stronger and stronger everyday. If I can survive Thanksgiving on a pre-op diet and Christmas brunches/luncheons from vendors, I can survive anything. There is so much temptation around the office year end but I like feeling healthy.

Queensty,

Congrats on the already Weight loss. I was banded Dec 6th 2013. And I'm feeling great.. I'm 12 days post opt.Been back to work after 2nd day after surgery. Went thru finals. And well that semester is done 4 "A's and 1 "B'....I'm so excited. So life does continue after your surgery. I was on my liquid diet during Thanksgiving ...So this girl is ready for Christmas dinner..then scheduled for my first fill on Jayn 9th. Im so excited the way my 2014 year is starting out. Only better things to come.

Good luck to you,

Thank you soooo much for the support. It's very comforting to not only have my family but also everyone here as a support system.

I was Banded 12/27/13. I still feel kinda blah. They put me on a full liquid diet to come but I'm still having gas pains. Plus when I eat sometimes get nauseas is this normal and how long will it last?

I can't tell you how long your pain will last. All I can say is walk and flap your arms. You might look like you're doing the chicken dance but it moves the gas. If you have a recliner, it's going to be your best friend when it comes to sleep. Just remember to sip your Protein shake and when you feel full stop.

The pain will pass and you'll forget about it when lose weight.

Good luck!
