Congrats your doing great. Keep up the good work

So it will be 5 months the 25th and I lost 38lbs still not restricted. It was stressing me out until I started thinking I lost what a 4 yr old weighs. So now when I see a little kid walking around I'm amazed that I lost one of them lol.

Unjury.com . . . Their chicken Soup is awesome, also!

Unfortunately, you'll find every doctor seems to have their own idea what works. Some do low carb, some don't restrict carbs, some do low calorie and other are more generous.
I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day and aim for a minimum of 60g of Protein per day. I find if I eat less than 1000 calories a day, my weight loss actually slows down.
Ultimately you have to do what's best for you and works best with your body. My major issue with surgeons giving identical food plans to all their patients is the fact we're all different and have different needs. What works for one person may not work for another at all and vice versa.
Definitely talk to the nutritionist and see what she says.
Best wishes to you.

I think my doctor does the same as urs. Thank u

Sorry for some reason my post wouldn't go and now i see it went several times! Dumb i phone
Lol!

My dr put me on clear liquids for 24 hrs after fill. Then Protein Shakes for 2 days (doing that now) then 2 days of mushies then back on solids after that. Had my first fill Tuesday. No big deal. Nervous for nothing! Only complaint is Im very hungry. Good Luck:)

92 pounds gone; 100 pounds is so close I can "taste" it! My surgery was February 20th of this year. How is everybody else doing/feeling?  

I'm down 30lbs
I was banded on October 1
The first 2 weeks I think I gain like 5lbs
Today after 37 days I'm down 30lbs
5 1/2 weeks post-op
I feel very happy so far ...

Just to try to regain the peace...
I think bigtruk has been misunderstood. He said your husband didn't leave for a skinny girl meaning there was obviously much more at stake in the marriage than anyone's weight. It's not uncaring thing or even harsh thing- it's the truth. No one leaves a spouse just because of weight. Weight is usually just the icing on an already very messed up cake.
He's saying you need to have the surgery for you, because you deserve to be happy, not to show your ex what he's missing.
Now if bigtruk had been considerably more detailed in his post perhaps this wouldn't have happened, however, I do think a lot more was incorrectly read into it than was actually there.
Btw- my ex called me every name in the book because of my weight. And, he cheated on me. AND he was an addict. I won't lie, seeing his jaw literally hit the floor when he saw me recently was SO incredibly satisfying. This was especially true because his long time girlfriend has gained a ton of weight and is now much bigger than I am. Petty and childish on my part? YUP!! But damn... I can't help it... it was so very satisfying

Thanks Louis!!!!

I also go alone.... In, out, BAM. I'm in there maybe 10 min at the most..... And I'm 10 lbs from goal!! Yay!
