My sister stalled in the 80lb loss area for 2 years. Exercised, ate her reg meals that she did to lose the weight. A month ago she saw infomercial on 7 things to NEVER eat. It's no peanuts, dairy, soy, corn etc. I think she's living on all the fruit, meat and salad she wants, and has lost 16 more lbs in a month. You can google it.

I had the band and all is good. Ready to go. The sleeve people are good, have a little gas but seem chipper.

So far so good. 2 sleeves and my lap band done. We're all good :-)

24 hours post op. flying home. Having some gas issues but no pain meds needed so far. Dr. Almanza was great and staff was awesome. Hospital was exceptionally clean. :-)

Call my band my lil MP. It stands for my protector. It saves me from myself :-)

Thank you all for sharing. Was hoping it was a myth. I too won't risk it.
I was self pay in mexico and do not have nutritionist. You get what you pay for I suppose. So I'm grateful for this forum.

Yeah, my biggest fear was blowing the 3 day liquid pre op diet and having to cancel surgery. I didn't realize how often I eat unconsciously. I'm not a gum chewer, so unless I was drinking my meals I kept sugarless gum in my mouth, then when I'd grab something (food) to stick in my mouth I had to remember why on earth I was chewing gum. Sounds silly but it worked.

72 hours post op and I'm back at work. Did a 14 hour shift yesterday, prob a little much, but feel great. Still having gas which is uncomfortable, but no pain meds, not even Advil. I've felt hungry a couple of times and feel like I could eat just a small amount of solid food, until I try it. Lol I guess the liquid, then mushie, then food order is for a good reason. sugar free gum is my best friend right now. I'm down 9lbs in 7 days, since the beginning of my 3day pre op liquid diet. :-)
