I am so excited! Thursday I get to start semi-soft foods. I am 1 week post-op and down 28 pounds. I found out I was way low on Protein and that's why I was feeling so bad. On the Kashi.com site there is a protein calculator and getting close to that number will make you feel 100% better. Also get enough calories. My doctor said about 1200 and getting close to that helped also. I also recommend Protein Shots. 4 ounces and 42g of whey protein. Watermelon is my favorite. Walmart carries them here.
My only down side is my bowels are messed up. When I have to go its like urgent and it's liquid(sorry for being gross) I hope this passes as food gets incorporated.
Still loving the band!

I made it to the other side. Thanks for all the well wishes. Good luck to all our August banders! I found out I was down 20 pounds just from the Pre-op diet. What a great start!!!

Wow, I am 3 days Post Op and I feel great. I am really amazed that I have had very few of the issues that some are reporting. The day of surgery I was a little sore. Day 2 I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach but no worse than that. I also went out for a walk. Today the only residual pain I have is from one of the surgery slits and that just feels like a typical cut.
I am very happy with my early surgery results. I am down 20 pounds thanks to the Pre-Op diet. (I started at 335 and the day of surgery I was 315.) I am looking forward to my first follow-up with my doctor and look forward to the fill process.
As for Post-Op drinks and such I haven't had any issues keeping things down or getting my Protein shakes down. I am looking forward to mushy foods... Bring it on!
Much success to everyone on this journey.

surgery went well trying to get Water in. going to rest. musicteacher hope all is well.

I have just finished my last Pre-Op appointment and I am 3 days into my Pre-Op diet and surgery is scheduled for Aug 30 at 7am. I am so excited. Funny thing is my blood sugars are awesome on this diet and I feel better already than I have felt for over a year. I am looking forward to the day I can pump my insulin pump away and so many other things.
