Day 6 - Post Op Lap-Band Surgery

Mar 03, 2009

So today I went back to work!

First off, after having 8 days off (only 4 days off from work) working 8 hours felt like forever...

...now that that's said, it was a pretty good day.  My body was quite cooperative!
I had a little discomfort with sitting - it almost feels like I can feel the port, but I can't really say it was painful... just not comfortable.  Besides from that, I had no other bodily issues.

I actually went to the gym this morning.  Don't worry, I didn't over exert myself.  I just did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine at a slow, steady pace whereas before the surgery I usually did 45 minutes hard and fast.

I'm still getting used to the dual stomach sensation where 1 stomach can be completely full while the other is entirely empty, giving 2 different sensations.  I am learning I have to follow the top stomach, and I'm noticing that I'm still quite hungry, and I have to say that this new stomach has hunger pangs 3x as bad as the previous, so I'm gonna have to be ready with little snacks --- liquid snacks for now.

Tomorrow at work will be a new adventure!
