I was banded last Friday, Nov. 5. Today is my first day back at work. So far, so good. I would have stayed home longer but my computer went on the fritz and I couldn't log on to this site, LOL!!! I didn't have any choice but to come back to work! Missed you guys!

Wow, that was fast! As long as you don't get too tired, if you see you are, make it a short day. What do you do? I found myself getting tired after a half day, and I cut it short for a while. I am addicted to this board too, I am always up here and getting caught by the boss. I wish it was on my computer in my office.

You two are TOO funny! Your job should be grateful that LBT motivated you to get back to work sooner! What dedication! (NOT)

Betty, I am an administrative secretary. I am fortunate that I do get to have this site on the computer in my office.

I'm serious, ya'll! I really did have to come back early so I could log on! Is there a pill for this???? LOL!

Fraid not. You have to fast! Just cold turkay it! (I guess) I hav'nt attempted it yet but i'm trying the moderation thing and it's not working yet. I went back to work myself today but I don't have a computer to log onto. Boo Hoo...oh well moderation in all things right?

Glad your feeling good enought to work!

Sorry, Blossom, it will only get worse as time goes on. Pretty soon, your skinny DH will be threatening to get a band and a computer just so you'll talk to him.:cry

LOL!!! I'm afraid I'm a lost cause!

Dylansmom, it really does get better every day. I am amazed at how good I feel!

How are you? Things getting back to normal?

Hi, WillPower! Yeah, things really are getting back to normal for me. Nearly all of my soreness is gone, I can even sneeze with no pain! Today, I am wearing pants that I truly thought I would not get to wear again. However, my appetite is returning with a vengence. I am still on softs, but I can eat a lot. I am hoping when I add some solids I won't be able to eat so much. Other than that, I feel great!!!

I'm glad you're feeling so well. Please do not worry about how much you are eating. Until you get a fill, you might get hungry, you might be able to eat just as much as before, and you might even gain weight. Don't sweat it. I know you know that already, but it bears repeating because it is so easy to get impatient in those early weeks.
