I am fortunate enough (or unfortunate..lol...home with 4 kids:crying:....no pay) to be off for the summer so I waited until then (July 3rd) to have my surgery. But I think energy wise and tenderness of the incisons, I would have liked 2 weeks off I'd say. I guess it depends on what you do at work that would determine how long to take off. I hope all goes well for you on Tues. Congrats on becoming a Bandster!!!:cursing:

I was banded on July 25th at TLBC. I've been off work this week, and though I've been up and about around the house from the get go, I'm hoping returning to work will be okay on Tuesday. How much time did you guys take off after being banded?

I was actually banded yesterday (july 31) at TLBC.

I booked the following week off work. Figured I deserved it, and really didn't really feel it fair for my coworkers be victim of me on only clear fluids lol :cursing:

Thanks Guys....

I actually did okay with the clear fluids. In fact I still don't have much of an appetite, but I want to eat. It's weird, like i just want to taste the food. I started the full fluids on Wednesday and have been enjoying the yogurt and pudding so far.

Hello all; I had my surgery 2 days ago on August 1st with Dr. Yau. My energy is good, pain is not bad. I am not taking any meds for it. I find everything so salty, so I am making my own stock right now. I found the Protein Shake before the surgery was a good Meal Replacement, and not salty at all. I look forward to the leaving clear fluids. :teeth_smile:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
