Congrats on the weight loss I am only 3 weeks post op and I haven't really had any weight loss I can't weight till I get to my first goal ... Do you think you can share some of your routines like what exercises you did and what meals u ate

Hello everyone I am week 3 post op and am now able to have purée foods and meal suggestions I'm stuck in sf pudding and mashed potatoes I don't wanna eat too much mashed potatoes

Thanks for all the encouraging words everyone

I am 2 weeks post up and have been on the liquid phase .. I don't feel like im lossing anything it's very discouraging

I got banded 9/4 and of course lost weight. I lost 14 pounds in eight days. I started working out but realize I am hungry all the time and grazing food here and there. It feels like no band was ever placed. I think I am going back to my liquid diet until I get my 1st fill. What to do' date=' what to do....I did call for a fill but they only do them on Monday and were all booked up. My appt is for 9/24 for my 1st fill.[/quote']

You got banded 2 days before I did ... I was told that you don't get a full until 6 weeks post op your bit supposed to be eatting regular food right now you should be at stage 3 which is purée foods .. Which Is thicker consistency than liquids .. Theres nothing in ur band and the swelling is going down from surery which is why u feel more hungry ... Doesn't your doctor tell u this stuff ? Just courious as to why ur already calling for a fill ? When u still need to get to stage 4 soft foods and stage 5 regular textured foods ?

I am not sure about fat but you should be taking in about 1000-1200 calories per day and 50-60 grams of Protein.

Really I'm in the liquid stage I'm only getting in like 630 calories and about 50gm of Protein

I am very clueless when it comes to keeping track of grams of fat and Protein and sugar and all that stuff ... If I wanted to eat healthy meals how many calories and calories from fat should I keep in mind

Thanks for all the tips only 5 more days I know I can do it

Seven more days to go on the full liquids stage and frankly I'm sick of ....

Sf pudding

Campbell's cream of chicken . Broccoli . Pototoe . And tomoto Soup

Any body have any other Soups there eatting or anything else

Did I work out the whole first week ? ... I'm one week post op and I haven't lost anything

How long before they come off ??

I am 6 days post op and on the 3 rd and 4 th nights I slept like a baby It felt like the gas pain was all gone I was soo excited ..... Than all of a sudden I'm in pain and soo uncomfortable the gas is back what to do !! Any tips I can't sleep and I go back to work tomorrow

Newly banded would love a mentor ! El monte ca ... Or just someone to exchange emails with
