I only took a week off from work, but when I returned, I was on a lift restriction for 6 weeks per my surgeon. I'm a nurse, so obviously, there's lifting involved. My co workers were awesome about being helpful and not allowing me to lift. I was so paranoid that I was going to slip my band in that immediate post op period…

I just want to look halfway decent in a bathing suit and not like a beached whale!

It's crazy how doctors give out such different information regarding WLS. I started out prior to surgery at over 400lbs, so obviously have a large amount to lose. I weighed all my options with my surgeon and he said ultimately it was my choice, and that many studies have shown that the average weight loss over 4 years is…

Out of curiosity, did you have any symptoms that your band had slipped? This is always a huge fear in the back of my head. I don't know why though.

I'm 4 months out from Lap Band surgery, and I can't do most carbs. At all. So no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. I've really just been sticking to high protein, low carb stuff and doing pretty well with that. I've found that I don't really miss most sweets, which is big because I always had a huge sweet tooth. I also can not…

That's the perfect attitude to have! Welcome! Like you, I have a significant amount of weight to lose (even more than you). I had lap band surgery in September of 2013, and while having the band helps control my portions, I still control what I put into my mouth. And with the help of MFP, it definitely keeps me in check by…
