You should try Full bars. They were created by my Doctor and are at walgreens and Kroger foods.

How did you add the ticker ...

I am 3 week post op on tuesday the 2nd. There was 4 days were i did not loose and gained .5lbs. I found that I needed to add different things to my diet. The same 5 foods were not going it for me. I used the food processor to gring up canded chicken. I added it to my eggs. It kept me full longer for sure. Keep strong and it will start to fall off when we can get out first fill.... MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR Water IN. Add me as a friend and we will stay intoutch since we started this at the same time. AJ

On May 1st I will be 3 weeks post op. As of today I am down 18.5 lbs but I cant seem to get motivated to work out. I wish oh wish I could. I have a gym in my home but all it does is collect dust. Sould I join a gym ??? I just dont know what to do. My second issue is that I am not on solids and cant get a fill for another 3 weeks. I dont ever feel full but I am scared to eat!!! I will never eat eggs or greek yogurt after this. I am dreaming about coffee and wine :wub: If you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know.

Thanks.. so for the support. I am doing the beans and I hate cottage cheese. I just hope to get more food next week at my check up. Today is 19 days and I am down 18.5. I know I need to get my butt moving or this would all be for nothing. More to come Have a great weekend.

I feel the same way today. I was out with family today with sports. Everyone wanted to eat lunch, next things I know we are the best pizza place. I sat down and looked at the menu and walked out crying while everyone stated and ate. I am only 3 weeks post op and my mind is killing me with thoughts. I dreamed about beer last night. I need to get my butt in the gym and stop feeling sorry for myself. Stay strong and keep your head up.

runnf Why are you eating???? NO NO NO. You should only be on liquid for 5 days. No food at all. No wonder you are in pain. I am post op 1 week today and I just started to eat and it is only 5 items. (egg beaters, refried Beans.. i.e) Take are of your self and stop eating.

Hi Debbie, I am 5 days post opp. I am already down 9lbs and very excited. I agree with you that the biggest part of this is the social eating and drinking. Last night has I was thinking normaly I would be with friends have a great meal and even greater bottle of wine. I started to cry!!! I got over it about an hr later but it did cross my mind " what did I do". Let me know how it goes and be excited you will do great.

I wanted to share some info with you I just found out about with regards to gastric bypass. I just had band with plication. It is like the sleeve with out them cutting off. They fold your stomach over and stitch it (no cutting and can be reversed). I have many friends and family that have had gastric and while yes they have lost the weight they are now facing a bigger demon... bigger than food. Achololism. There have been some recent studies that show about 30% of bypass patients now suffer from acholoism. My aunt had bypass 8 years ago and not get get through one night with out her husband waking up with her every 2-3 hours and measures out 2 oz. of vodka just so she does not get deathly ill. Not that everyone is effected but please do your research and look at your family history. . The ban with plication is a new procedure you might want to look more into that. Good luck to you

Hi, I am new and 4 days post op. I am down 8 lbs so that is great news and keeps me excited. Good luck with your surgery and I am sure you will do great.

Hi, I am new and 4 days post op. I am over the gas pain today. I had the lap band w/ plication. My pain is everytime a take a drink. The fluid goes through the band but then sits where the plication is, thus my pain. Has anyone else done plication and felt this way?
