Well I made it through my first week of work. I am almost 2 weeks post-op. There were times when I honestly thought that I wouldn't feel the same again or I wouldn't feel good again, but that has passed. Thank God. I'm feeling good now, hardly any pain unless I do a lot of bending or something that involves my stomach muscles. I have, surprisingly already, more energy. Not a whole lot more. I'm not running marathons, but I'm getting around and moving. Clear liquids are over, which was killing me. I'm now on full liquids and gradually movinig on to mushies and puree's. I'm kindof nervous doing that, afraid something will mess up the band. So I'm moving very slowly into those stages. I don't eat a lot. Usually a half a cup of soup and I'm full. I don't know if that's the band working or if I'm still swollen everywhere. Most people can eat more than that. I'll have to check in with the doctor on Wednesday so I'm going to bring that up. But all in all I'm good!! If you're reading this and you're going through post op, have faith that you'll feel better!
