Halleluja say awsome!!!

First, congrat son your baby, second u still have your band use it! go to your doctor and see if you need to get a fill or something, start again sweetie and do ketosis to get you body going again ok

Good luck sweetie =)

Well when your body enters Ketosis mode it used your fat as energy instead of your carbs ( hence the weight loss). If you decide to do it please keep me posted hope it helps =) Hi there, welll is quite simple actually only thing is that I suck at cooking so my menu is pretty simple but if you are good with cooking than by all means get creative ok. *So basically its six meals a day ( Ketosis it's only for 3 days ok) * eat every 3 hrs or so * No salt * drink one gallon of distilled Water per day ( very important) * Green veggies ( only green veggies are aloud) *Protein ( egg whites (3 eggwhites if you are a female 4 if you are a male), fish, tuna, chicken, beef with no fat, tofu, soy,etc.) So this is what you do try to start at 7 or 8am so you wont finish that late at night ok. Well first meal its ONLY protein, second meal protein AND veggies, second meal ONLY protein,third meal, protein AND Veggies and so on ok.it's one and one. Make sure you get all that gallon of water in ok or as much as possible the more water the better. ok so I survive those 3 days with *Tuna in water ( if you can find with no sodium great if not its ok) *Canned chicken breast ( regular chicken is too hard for me ever since the band was placed) *Tilapia Fish Beef like ground meat or tureky ( I stick with white meat becaus eit's easie rfo rme to cook * Broccoli, cucumbers,lettuce, Zuqquini ( hope I spelled that right ( I really don't like vegatables only this four) * Distilled water any brand ( make sure is distilled ok) Recommendations: *I use Mr. Dash Seasonings to season my food it has no sodium ( salt) pick whatever you like. I personally like the chipotle, and lemon pepper. You can findd them at walmart. *Before the band 4oz of protein it's the amount of food you should eat and vegetables 1cup - since i'm getting my first fill next week I really don't have alot of restriction I ate about 3oz of protein an dlike half of cup of veggies when I ate both, when only doing protein I probably finished the whole 4oz tuna can. So portion I guess you have to figure out your stomach ok. * if you have a job and it's hard to get Breakfast you can drink a Protein shake in the morning but only if you really have too ok. *If you get hungry in between you can eat some pieces of cucumber those have absolutely no calories. I hate drinking water and I get sick of it I recommend some Mio to flavor the water it has no calories, carbs, sugar, and most important no sodium. * exercice that helps alot *If you get a headeche try some black cofee to help you ( headache sometime happen from lack of sugar) Ok I think it's everything hope this helps you ok. I just did one I started on wednesday morning and finished friday night by saturday morning I weighted myself and I ha dlost 5lbs =) Please remember that you only do this when you get stalled or at the very least once every four weeks. If you ant your body in ketosis mode long term do some reasearch because I still have not learned it yet ok. Please up-date me in your progress. Best of luck!!

Well i'min Dallas but I can be you pal I have a Facebook page for my weigh loss it's called Nayelli's A Smile for a pound support community ( Nasfapscommunity) or my personal fb page Nayelli Quezada and I'm documenting my journey on youtube just look for Nasfapcommunity ( I forgot the s when I joined) everyone is invited to join. If you ever need to vent or something just contact me comment, send a privat emesage u know whatever

when you get stuck give ketosis a go its only 3 days sweetie, totally healthy and it shocks you body you lose a few lbs in the process and then it gets your body going again I learned from this nutritionist. now I only lost 7lbs in 3 weeks and I freaked out I did Ketosis and lost 5lbs from wednesday morning til saturday morning =) and I'm hoping my body is back in track again and i'll keep losing now that i'm off kitosis. IF you dont now what ketosis is look it up or I'll be more than happy to tell you how to do it. No pills, or expensive food or products like some people think.

Please don't be depressed we are all here for you give Kitosis a go and see if that helps if u have questions about how to do ketosis i'll be more tah happy to tell you. I know it sounds weird but its totally healthy nutitionist recommend it and there are no pills invloved or expensive foods or products. Take care!

Omg!! reading this makes feel like a total pain in the ass ( please excuse my language) I was banded on august 21, 2012 and I was in a 2wks pre-op ( not a liquid diet) and lost 17lbs, 2 week spost-op I lost 12, and then I did not weighted my self until tuesday of this week when I got my new scale and I had only lost 7lbs in 20 days. I went crazy I though thet it was not normal. I though I was getting off-track so I got my body in ketosis mode ( which is great if you are stalling it makes you body get going again) So ketosis I only do for 3 days. So I started on wednesday morning and by this saturday morning I had lost five pounds so I am now 41lbs down =) now if you do ketosis- if you dont know how to maintain long term healthy ketosis diet like I myself don't know long term please only do the 3 days and you can only do it once every four weeks or only if you stalled.

well thats definately a bummer =( weight loss should help you be a better version of you not the other way around. Hope things get better with you and you sister in-law an dmine as well. It great to hear from you raindrop1999 Sorry I forgot what you sai dypur name was we met in the chat room a couple of times how are you doing?

Sweetie, I fully undesrtand where you are coming from I was five days post-op ( my wls date was august 21 2012) when I heard that my sister in-law told my dad .."well i'm happy for her, but I think that it would have been better if she just tried doing something for herself before she got to that point and do it the natural way" what a load of bs. She of all people cause I used to trust her at least with my weight issues knows how hard I tried for so many years. Then she did'nt even say it to my face. Problem is that my tongue can be pretty sharp as well so and it ends up gettin getin lots of trouble. Some people are informed but are just to dumb by choice to want to underdtand and instead of feeling angry at them and lashing out I think we should pitty them

Thanks! Really this makes me really happy and it makes me have some peace of mind =) best of luck two the both

Hi I went to my first Dr. appointment today i'm 2 weeks post-op and I only lost 12lbs. I confess I felt a little dissapointed becuase during my pre-op diet I lost 17lbs. In total I lost 29.4lbs in 30 days. Is this good? I'm I on track? or i'm I falling behind. Today the nurse who weighted me said "so 29lbs ok I'll take that" what the hell does that mean?

Hi there, Well first congrats! seconf i'm 2 weeks post op and I was supposed to lose 22lbs thats 5% of my weigh during my pre-op diet and I only lost 17lbs. I confess I did cheat a couple of times =( ( not proud) I ate 5 chicken nuggets from wendys, one zip of coke, another day I ate a chicke wrap and one time I even ate some soup. Anyway I was allowed one lean meal a day so I shoud not have done that. After surgery my doctor told my family that he almost stopped the surgery because the liver was almost too big and almost unsafe to operate. I was only 5lbs under my pre-op goal weight and even he tough there wouldnt be an issue but there almost was. Best of luck to you tomorrow hope everything goes well for you. I invite you to see my journey on youtube. here is the link to my third video wich is my first day post-op

Everyone thanks for all the suggestions they are just great! =)

Hi! thanks for the suggestions it's better to know which flavors taste good than to just buy whatever and hope for the best. Really appreciate it! =)

You need t ocall your doctor or go to the ER those were my Drs. orders if I experienced fever over 101.1- I'm 3 days out and need help to get up or go down from bed. Sitting and gettin gup from seats i'm ok my sofa not so good.

I'm on the liquid phase of the post-op diet and I have to get at least 48 grams of protein and liquid also. Problem is i'm not hungry at all and getting my protein, my water, and vitamins plus any kind of broth it's just too much I just can't and I'm no getting either all my vitamins or all of my protein. Any suggestions?
