NSV the first day back at work



Recommended Posts

Today is my first day back at work since being banded on 8/01. I never realized all the pushing and pulling I did (I just have a desk job) so my port area is a little sore. BUT....I put on my nice pants this morning and the hardly fit me. I mean I have to make sure they are not going to fall as I walked down the hall. I can feel the sliding down. Holy Crap that was fast. I am going to have to get them altered pronto because I am not ready to be new clothes just yet. But what a NSV (non - scale victory):thumbup:

Hey Claudine, congratulations on getting back to work. i was banded on the 4th and went back Wed night. i was so dizzy, and weakish. how are you feeling that way? I worked two nights but asked for tomorrow night off because i just need a couple more days. I work in a busy ER and there is lots of lifting, pushing and running :sad:

About the port site. Mine is pretty tender yet. I wear scrubs that are drawsting and can make them looser, however they are a bit scratchy and needed to wear a T-shirt tucked in so that they did rub so much.

I really need more energy though.

Good job to you! Glad its going well!

Claudine - WTG! Woo Hoo! I have been finding the same thing with my clothes, the hope was to get through this winter without having to spend much on new clothes. I don't know if that will happen or not, not a bad thing though!

I went to LB and got two pair of work pants for 1/2 off the 1/2 off price. I bought them in a size down and hope they will be good for a few months! I met a gal at the doc office on Thursday and she goes to Ross and the Goodwill for her clothes, she has dropped 2 sizes in the last 3 months! Crazy. Anyway, ideas for clothes if anybody needs them!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
