7 weeks post op and 30lb down I have no restriction but I follow a low fat high protien diet as if I have restriction.

I am in the uk too 5.5 weeks out and on the mushies from Wednesday I can go onto soft foods crackers, egg, cottage cheese then from 8 weeks normal food, getting my first fill on the 4th may do will be normal for 4 days then back on liquids for a few days.

It's my one month anniversary banded 14th match lave lost 24.5 lb could each much more than I should but following the post operation guidlines. fist appointment Monday at hospital so hopefully a fill won't be far away. And I will feel. On soft foods mash and minces meat and gravy but lovely after 4 weeks fill fluids. Hope everyone is feeling great as it's a long journey.

I went back after 12 days you also need energy get protien in and stagger them through the day even half at a time keep blood sugars up 6 small meals and Water

Sorry your struggling, you have not mentioned how many cals you are taking or what you doctor said at your last visit. Are you getting in all your protien. How do you track your food and exercise? I use. My fitness pal. Don't give up it can take a few fills to have restriction.

Mewest you at the hardest stage no restriction and working on will power also some people have put on weight with the liquid iv just follow your surgeon instructions and you will get there.

Join me on my fitness pal taysidebell I find it really useful to look at what other banders are eating x I am 4 weeks out and aiming for 800 to 1000. And 30 walking every day. Are you only eating 3 meals a day

Hope Ian as successful at my year anniversary, great work.

I was banded the 14th march and my surgeon has me on 4 weeks full liquids looking forward to next week to soft mushies for 2 then whole foods. Been walking every day fior 30 min. Want to go swimming but waiting a but for that. Lost 21 lb since surgery and 81 including 6 month pre- operation diet. Feeling very pllease with myself. Great to hear how everyone getting on.
