My surgery day bmi was 69. Almost 3 weeks post op now. Love how I am feeling.

I am about to start my Mushie Phase of my post op recovery weeks. (and I can't wait!!!) What are some ideas of foods that fall into this category?

I had my surgery on a Tuesday morning, and was back to work for a half day on Thursday, and a full day Friday.

Ugh! I keep getting them, a million times a day! Anyone else experience this? I'm a week post op, and the last few days they just keep coming!

Glad I could help. I have my fu next Thursday. First fill 3 weeks later. You?

I was banded on the 11th. We can do it! I'll "enjoy" a protein shake with ya!

Hope that helps! How long ago were you banded?

I usually do 10-12 ounces when I get that must eat feeling.

You can do it! Drink a protein shake to curb the hunger!

I weighed 600 before surgery with a bmi of 70. So it all depends on your surgeons preferance....don't think bmi plays into their decision at all....my doc said some do because some think it shrinks the liver....mine said through all 3500+ he's done he didn't notice much difference with or without the pre op diet.

Relief never felt so good!!! Feel like a new man!

Just got off the phone with my doc. Wanted to be sure I had his blessing to take anything. He told me to take a bottle of magnesium citrate, followed by 8 oz. Of water......still waiting. Pleaaaase!

Any one else have issues with having a bm After surgery? Had surgery on 9/11 feel like I'm blocked up. It's getting painful. Normal?

I'm from Gilroy. Just banded on 9/11. Hope to chat with a few other local bandsters.

My doctor didn't put me on a pre op diet at all. Just nothing to eat past noon on the day before surgery. I was lucky I guess!
