3 months and 2 weeks post op

Ok so its been 3 months and 2 weeks since my surgery :redface: I have to say I have not lost alot of weight since the surgery either.. But no worries I know it will go.. So before the surgery I lost about 10 pounds on the pre op and since the surgery I have lost about 19 pounds so around 30 pounds all together which really with my BMI is pretty good :thumbup: an average of 10 pounds per month :thumbup: Ok so after my surgery I lost I think 10 pounds on the post op liquid diet then I did not loos

8 days post op and exercising :)

OK I am 8 days out and Im feeling pretty good. This morning I got up and the scale did not move. That is very odd since I consume maximum 300 cal a day and before the surgery I lost a steady 1 pound a day and I was consuming a lot more liquids than I am now. So I decided to go ahead and try to do my exercise machine. So far I did 15 mins on it and yes my port was hurting but I stopped and will try again later :frown: I want to do this 100 % and I want the weight gone I am starving all the time

Day 5 Post Op..feeling a little better :)

OK Its monday day 5 :smile: Last night I am happy to say I had my first full nights sleep :sad: I also woke up flat on my back and I was comfy this morning not feeling any pain or gas. I have been sleeping sitting straigt up. I dream everynight of food. Last night it was donuts lol.. I believe its been 16 or 17 days now that I have not eaten anything. Who could have guessed I could go that long without food!! Not me I didnt know its possible. I have to say that I owe my good sleep to someone on

3 days post op

ok so I am banded. 3rd day now :smile2: So this is wat i am feeling. The big cut for the port in the bottom hurts like heck when i sit or lay and when i go to get up. Then when I cough it hurts so band and stings for a lil bit like it will rip open. They gave me mepergan fortis for pain because it has an anti nausia in it but i really dont think it helps much besides making me sleep. So next thing I am more hungry now then before the band and I was on 2 weeks liquid before the band lol Yes I kno

Liquid Pre op diet day 9 :)

Well to day is a happy day.. today is monday I will be banded on wednesday.. I have worked so hard to this point just to be approved the emotional stress was more sometimes then I thought I could bare but I did and I made it... I made it through the liquid diet and the apointments the 1 1/2 hour drive sometimes 3 times a month the putting my life on hold for the past 6 months. I am ready now to have a healthy life. Ready for it to change :biggrin: Now I will get back to the post about my liquid

LIquid diet day 7

Sooooo I lost 8 pounds now.. still starving lol... I did find relief with atkins slim fast type drink it actualy helped my hungery :biggrin: What I think is so odd though is that I loose exactly 1 pound a day to the T its so weird. Well the first day I lost 2 pounds. So during the day I am fine but at night is when I just want to eat its soooo hard in the evenings. What I dont understand is I read all these things about people not doing the pre liquid diet and ppl going for one last meal before

liquid diet day 4

I lost 5 pounds and im starving but I am stuck on my diet of nothing lol I went and had all my pre op stuff done.. very fun!! it was horrible glad its over :shades_smile: So hmm I think by the time the 6 weeks of liquids are done i will be at my goal weight hmm yummy food it would be nice but oh well i will just sit here and starve lol

Liquid Pre Op Diet

So today is my 2nd day on the liquid diet. I am doing pretty good. I am now thinking of food food food lol. I thought they were crazy at first when they said that I need 2 weeks on liquids BEFORE the surgery.. I mean really I thought if I can do that then why do i need the surgery? BUT I have to think of it like this.. In normal without the surgery you can go a while with no food and u may loose weight but u will just gain it back. So 2 weeks wont kill me :shades_smile: Anyways I bought sugar fr
