I was banded on the 14th. During the liquid diet I lost 15lbs. I started mushies and other soft foods and havent lost a lb since. I do get hungry every 2-3 hours and if I eat too much I have a pain in my left shoulder. My 1st fill is on the 20th so I'm hoping to start losing again. Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hello, Everyone! My surgery is scheduled for February 14th. My Valentine's Day present to myself...lol. I have been doing the pre-op liquid diet since Tuesday and am really anxious to get the surgery over with! I have struggled with having to grocery shop for my kids, or make them food, etc. But I'm staying strong!! I'm finding it interesting to see how people are doing right after surgery and discovering what I need to prepare for. Any guidance or suggestions, is much appreciated! I will be spending Tuesday night in the hospital. How long do people normally take off work?? My Clear Liquids and Protein Shake diet consists of Atkins Advantage shakes, Water, Powerade Zero, sugar free Jello and popsicles, and broth. Any other suggestions??? By the way, I'm in the St. Louis area and my Dr is Dr. Follwell. Good luck to everyone!!!
